The Regatta Radler Shell Jacket is designed for adult women seeking reliable protection during outdoor activities in wet weather. Its key benefit is offering waterproof, breathable, and flexible performance without restricting movement, ideal for hiking and climbing. A potential consideration is that it's a shell jacket, meaning it doesn't provide inherent insulation and may require layering for warmth. Key features include Isotex 20000 stretch fabric, underarm gussets for enhanced mobility, sealed seams, and a water-repellent front zip.

Isotex 20000 indicates the fabric's performance level: it's waterproof to a hydrostatic head of 20,000mm and breathable to 20,000g/m²/24 hours. This means it offers excellent protection from rain and allows a high amount of moisture vapor to escape.
No, this is a shell jacket. It provides waterproof and windproof protection but does not contain any insulating material. You will need to wear layers underneath for warmth.
Yes, you can wear it in cold weather by layering appropriate insulating garments (like fleece or down jackets) underneath. The shell protects you from wind and precipitation, while the layers provide warmth.
It's recommended to re-proof the jacket when you notice water is no longer beading on the surface and is starting to soak into the fabric. This typically occurs after several washes or extensive use in wet conditions.
The underarm gussets (Reach technology) are designed to give you greater freedom of movement, especially when raising your arms. This is particularly useful during activities like climbing or when using trekking poles.
No, it is recommended to use a mild liquid detergent and avoid powder detergents, bleach, or fabric softeners. These can damage the waterproof and breathable properties of the fabric.
Yes, the jacket is made from 100% recycled polyester, making it a more environmentally friendly choice.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Wash the jacket according to care instructions, and then apply a suitable re-proofing spray or wash-in treatment to restore water repellency.
Clean the zipper teeth gently with a soft brush and a little water. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zip. Lubricate the zipper with a graphite pencil or a silicone-based zipper lubricant.
This can be due to insufficient breathability from internal moisture (sweat). Ensure you are wearing breathable base layers. Check that the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can block pores. If the issue persists, try re-applying the DWR treatment after washing.
Check that the drawcords are fully threaded and that any toggles or adjusters are functioning correctly. Ensure the drawcord channel is clear of debris.
Setup: This is a ready-to-wear garment. Ensure the hood is adjusted appropriately using any drawcords for a snug fit. The central front zip should be fully zipped for maximum protection.
Compatibility: Designed as outerwear, this jacket is compatible with various base layers and mid-layers for adjustable warmth. It is suitable for a range of outdoor activities including hiking, trekking, and general wet-weather use.
