The Regatta Men's Matt II Waterproof Shell is designed for adult males seeking reliable protection during outdoor activities like hiking and climbing. Its key benefit is providing waterproof and breathable comfort, keeping you dry and fresh. A potential caveat is that while highly functional, its aesthetic may be more utilitarian than fashionable. This jacket is constructed from durable polyester with Isotex 10000 fabric and taped seams for full waterproofing. It features a mesh lining for enhanced ventilation, a packaway hood, adjustable hem and cuffs, and multiple pockets for secure storage of essentials.

'Isotex 10000' refers to Regatta's waterproof and breathable technology. The '10000' indicates a hydrostatic head rating of 10,000mm, meaning it can withstand the pressure of a 10,000mm column of water before it starts to leak. It also signifies good breathability.
This jacket is designed as a waterproof and windproof shell. It offers protection from the elements but does not have significant insulation. For very cold weather, you would need to layer a warm mid-layer, such as a fleece or insulated jacket, underneath.
Yes, the jacket is designed to be worn as an outer layer. The fit generally allows for layering. Check the specific sizing chart for measurements, but typically, you can accommodate a fleece or a medium-weight jumper underneath.
The need to re-waterproof depends on usage frequency and conditions. If you notice water is no longer beading on the surface and is soaking into the fabric, it's time to re-activate the DWR finish through washing and drying as per care instructions, or apply a new reproofing treatment.
A waterproof shell like the Matt II focuses on maximum protection against rain and wind. A softshell jacket is typically more breathable and flexible, offering some water resistance and windproofing but usually not full waterproofing. This jacket is ideal for heavy rain, while a softshell might be better for dry, windy conditions or high-intensity activities where breathability is paramount.
Always use a mild liquid detergent and wash on a gentle cycle at 40°C. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners, as these can degrade the waterproof and breathable membrane. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on low heat to help maintain the DWR finish.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Follow the care instructions to re-activate the DWR finish by tumble drying on a low heat setting and periodically ironing on a low setting with a damp cloth. If the issue persists, consider reproofing the garment.
Ensure all vents and openings are not obstructed. The mesh lining helps with breathability, but heavy exertion in humid conditions can still lead to some moisture buildup. Ensure the outer fabric's DWR is effective to allow moisture to escape.
Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. You can apply a small amount of wax or graphite (from a pencil) to the zipper teeth to help it glide smoothly. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Ensure the drawcords for the hood are tightened appropriately. Adjust the cord locks to secure the hood's position around your head.
Setup: This jacket requires no setup. It is ready to wear upon purchase. Ensure all zippers are closed before washing.
Compatibility: Designed for men's apparel sizing. Check the size guide for accurate fit. Compatible with various outdoor trousers and layers.
