Regatta Dallymoore Insulated Padded Jacket - Grey

Yes, the Regatta Dallymoore features heavyweight feather-free insulation designed to provide substantial warmth, making it suitable for cold weather. For extreme cold, layering with appropriate mid-layers is recommended.

The jacket is designed for 'outdoor excursions' and features breathable fabric. While suitable for light hikes and general outdoor activities, its 'heavyweight' insulation might make it less ideal for high-intensity, strenuous sports where minimal bulk and maximum ventilation are paramount.

A hydrostatic head of 10,000mm indicates a high level of waterproofing. It means a column of water 10,000mm high can be placed on the fabric before water begins to seep through, signifying excellent protection against rain and wet conditions.

No, the jacket features a 'grown-on hood,' which means it is permanently attached to the jacket and cannot be removed.

The jacket uses a synthetic, heavyweight insulation. While the specific material type is not detailed, 'feather-free' implies it's designed to mimic the warmth of down without using animal feathers, often maintaining warmth even when damp.

The jacket includes 'multiple zipped pockets' for secure storage. While the zippers offer a degree of water resistance, it's generally advisable to protect sensitive electronics or documents inside a waterproof bag within the pockets during heavy rain.

This specific guide is for the Grey Male version. However, the Regatta Dallymoore range often includes other color options and may feature similar styles or quilted jackets for women. Please check the product catalog for other variants.

The main material of the jacket is Polyester.

While the jacket is waterproof and breathable, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or high exertion can lead to internal dampness if sweat isn't fully wicked away or if the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating is compromised. Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking layers underneath. If the issue persists, consider re-applying a DWR treatment to the outer fabric.

Periodically clean zippers with a small brush to remove dirt and debris. A silicone-based lubricant or zipper wax can be applied sparingly to the zipper teeth to improve smooth operation. Avoid forcing stiff zippers as this can cause damage.

Utilize the built-in adjusters on the grown-on hood. These typically include drawcords around the face opening and potentially a rear adjustment to tighten or loosen the fit around your head, ensuring it stays put and provides optimal coverage.
