FAQs
Is the Regatta Daysha Jacket suitable for winter conditions?
The Daysha jacket provides excellent wind and rain protection, but it is lightweight and does not offer significant thermal insulation on its own. For winter, we recommend layering it over warm garments like a fleece or insulated jacket.
What is Hydrafort technology?
Hydrafort is Regatta's proprietary waterproof and windproof fabric technology. It's designed to provide a reliable barrier against the elements, keeping you dry and comfortable in wet and windy weather.
How do I care for the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish?
The DWR finish needs proper care. Always wash your jacket according to the care label, using a mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners. If water stops beading on the surface, you can restore the DWR by applying a specialized re-waterproofing product after washing.
Can I machine wash this jacket?
Yes, this jacket is machine washable. Please follow the care instructions on the label: machine wash cold (30°C) with similar colors, use a mild detergent, and do not use bleach or fabric softener.
Are the pockets fully waterproof?
The zipped side pockets offer good resistance to light rain, securing your items. However, for sensitive electronics or valuables in heavy downpours, we recommend using additional waterproof pouches inside the pockets for extra protection.
Is this jacket breathable?
Yes, the jacket features a lightweight mesh lining which enhances breathability, helping to prevent clamminess and ensure comfort during activity.
Does the hood detach?
No, the hood does not detach. It is designed to be adjustable and can be rolled away neatly into the collar when not in use, offering flexibility without complete removal.
Troubleshooting
Water no longer beads on the fabric surface.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Wash the jacket according to care instructions, then apply a DWR-restoring spray or wash-in treatment specifically designed for waterproof fabrics.
Jacket feels clammy or less breathable inside.
This could be due to dirty fabric blocking breathability or improper layering. Ensure the jacket is clean. Also, wear moisture-wicking base layers underneath to help manage sweat effectively.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to operate.
Clean any dirt or debris from the zipper teeth. A small amount of zipper lubricant (e.g., silicone-based) can improve smooth operation.
Hood won't stay rolled away or is bulky.
Ensure the hood is completely dry before rolling it away. Fold it neatly and tightly into the collar, securing any fastening straps or togg provided to keep it compact.
Jacket smells musty.
A musty smell usually indicates mildew. Wash the jacket immediately with a technical outdoor garment cleaner, ensuring it is thoroughly air-dried before storage. Never store the jacket wet.

Care Instructions
Proper care will maintain the jacket's waterproof performance and extend its lifespan. Always refer to the garment's care label for the most accurate instructions.
- Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C) with similar colors.
- Detergent: Use a mild liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, or aggressive stain removers as these can damage the DWR finish and fabric membranes.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low setting or, ideally, hang dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat. Excessive heat can harm the waterproof coating.
- Ironing: Do not iron, as high heat can damage the waterproof coating.
- Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
- Re-waterproofing: Over time, the DWR finish may wear off. If water no longer beads on the fabric surface, consider re-treating the jacket with a DWR-restoring product, available at outdoor retailers.
