Product Information
Full details
This Regatta Heated Jacket is designed for adult females seeking warmth and style in colder weather. Its key benefit is an integrated battery-powered heating system that provides adjustable warmth, complemented by a water-repellent finish and insulation. A potential caveat is the requirement for a separate 5V USB powerbank with a minimum 2.1A output to activate the heating feature, and the manufacturer advises against using powerbanks not purchased directly from them.

FAQs
What type of powerbank is required?
A 5V USB powerbank with a minimum output of 2.1A is required to power the heating system. It is recommended to use a powerbank purchased directly from Regatta.
Can I wash the jacket with the powerbank inside?
No, you must always remove the powerbank before washing the jacket to prevent damage to both the powerbank and the jacket's electronic components.
Is the jacket waterproof?
The jacket features a water-repellent finish and taped seams, which protect against light rain and moisture. It is not fully waterproof and may not provide adequate protection in heavy downpours.
How long does the battery typically last?
The duration of the heating depends on the capacity (mAh) of the powerbank used and the heat setting selected. Higher settings and larger capacity powerbanks will provide longer heating times.
What is the insulation made of?
The jacket uses Warmloft synthetic insulation, which provides a down-touch feel and is effective at retaining warmth, even when damp.
Does the jacket come with a powerbank?
No, the powerbank is sold separately. A compatible 5V USB powerbank with a minimum 2.1A output is required.
Can the hood be detached?
The hood is attached and features adjusters for a customizable fit, but it cannot be detached.
Troubleshooting
Heating system not activating
Ensure the powerbank is fully charged and connected correctly. Verify the powerbank meets the 5V and 2.1A minimum output requirement. Try a different compatible powerbank if available.
Jacket feels damp after light rain
While the jacket has a water-repellent finish and taped seams, it is not fully waterproof. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, additional waterproof outer layers may be necessary. Ensure seams are intact.
Uneven heating
Check that the internal heating elements are not obstructed or folded awkwardly. Ensure the power source is stable and providing consistent power.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Gently pull the zipper up and down. Apply a small amount of wax or a graphite pencil to the teeth to lubricate. Avoid forcing the zipper.
