FAQs
Is the faux fur trim removable?
Yes, the faux fur trim on the hood is designed to be detachable, allowing for versatility in styling and care.
How do I ensure the jacket fits correctly in size 26 UK?
Refer to the brand's specific size chart for Regatta outerwear and compare your body measurements to the provided guide. The 26 UK is a specific size; it's advisable to check measurements carefully.
Can this jacket be worn in heavy rain?
The jacket features a Durable Water Repellent finish, which is effective against light rain and showers. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, a waterproof jacket would be more suitable.
What is Thermo-Guard insulation?
Thermo-Guard is a synthetic insulation technology that provides excellent warmth and loft without being heavy, helping to keep you comfortable in cold weather.
How often should I reapply the water repellent finish?
The need to reapply the DWR finish depends on usage and washing frequency. Typically, it's recommended to reapply when you notice water is no longer beading on the fabric surface.
Can I put the jacket in a washing machine?
Yes, the jacket can be machine washed on a cold, gentle cycle with similar colors. It's important to follow the specific care instructions provided to maintain the fabric and insulation.
What does 'raglan sleeves' mean?
Raglan sleeves are cut in a way that the shoulder seam extends diagonally to the underarm, rather than to the shoulder point. This design offers greater freedom of movement.
Troubleshooting
Jacket not as warm as expected
Ensure the drawcord hem is tightened and the two-way zip is fully closed. Check that the insulation has not become compacted; tumble drying with tennis balls can help restore loft.
Water repellency reduced
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish can wear off over time. Reapply a DWR treatment specifically designed for outdoor clothing after washing, following the product's instructions.
Zipper is stiff or stuck
Gently try to move the zipper. If it's stuck on fabric, carefully try to free the material. Lubricate the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil tip or a specialized zipper lubricant.
Faux fur trim detachment issue
Ensure the buttons or snaps securing the faux fur trim are properly aligned and fastened. If the trim is damaged, contact customer support for replacement options.
