Regatta Hydroforce Jackets - Black - S

XPT typically stands for 'Extreme Performance Technology' in Regatta's product line, indicating enhanced technical features like advanced waterproofing and breathability.

The jacket is waterproof and breathable, suitable for wet conditions. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, ensure all zips are closed and consider additional waterproof layers if needed.

Refer to the provided size guide which lists chest measurements in inches for each size (S to 3XL). Measure your chest circumference to find the best fit.

No, the hood is described as 'foldaway wraparound', meaning it can be tucked away but is not designed to be removed.

These panels add extra durability and abrasion resistance to the shoulders, areas that often experience wear from backpack straps or external friction.

No, ironing is not recommended as high heat can damage the waterproof and breathable membrane. Refer to the care instructions for drying methods.

Re-proofing frequency depends on usage and washing. It's recommended when you notice water is no longer beading off the surface effectively, typically every few washes or as needed.

The durable water repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Re-apply a DWR treatment following product instructions.

Gently try to move the zipper. Lubricate the zipper teeth with graphite (pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant. Avoid forcing the zipper.

The jacket may be dirty, or the membrane could be blocked. Ensure the jacket is clean by following the care instructions. Persistent issues may indicate wear and tear.

This can occur if the garment is not fully zipped or if the internal moisture is exceeding the fabric's breathability rate during intense activity. Ensure proper ventilation and consider layering appropriately.
