Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Rigain men's insulated jacket is designed for adult males seeking a sporty, warm, and practical outerwear option for outdoor activities. Its key benefit lies in its lightweight yet durable construction, featuring a water-repellent finish and synthetic down insulation for reliable warmth without bulk. A potential caveat is that while water-repellent, it is not fully waterproof, so prolonged exposure to heavy rain may require additional protection. Key features include synthetic down insulation, a water-repellent finish, and a unique hood-zip design.

FAQs
Is the jacket suitable for heavy rain?
No, the Regatta Rigain jacket features a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish, which is effective against light rain and splashes. For heavy or prolonged rain, it is recommended to wear a fully waterproof outer jacket.
How do I best care for the synthetic insulation?
To maintain the loft and warmth of the synthetic insulation, machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Tumble dry on a low heat setting, ideally with tennis balls, to help fluff up the insulation after washing.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
The jacket provides reliable warmth for cool conditions thanks to its synthetic down insulation. For very cold weather, it is designed to be layered effectively over thermal base layers and mid-layers to increase insulation.
What is the unique feature of the hood design?
The jacket features a unique center front zip that continues up to the peak of the hood, offering a stylish detail and providing extra coverage around the neck and lower face.
Are the pockets secure?
Yes, the jacket has two lower zipped pockets for secure storage of everyday items, as well as an internal zipped security pocket, ideal for valuables like a phone or wallet.
What material is the jacket made from?
The jacket is made from 100% polyamide lightweight 20D fabric for the outer shell and lining, with a 120gsm weight for the premium synthetic down insulation.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels less warm than expected.
Ensure the synthetic down insulation has been properly re-lofted. If using a tumble dryer, add clean tennis balls. Consider wearing additional insulating layers underneath for colder temperatures.
Water is soaking through the fabric in moderate rain.
The jacket has a water-repellent finish, not a waterproof coating. For prolonged or heavy rain, an additional waterproof outer layer is recommended. Consider reapplying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment if the existing finish seems diminished.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Ensure the fabric around the zipper is clear and not caught. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. A small amount of graphite from a pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant can help ease stiffness.
Pilling or fabric damage after washing.
Ensure washing instructions (30°C, gentle cycle, similar colors) were followed. Avoid harsh detergents or bleach. Do not iron the fabric, as high heat can cause damage.

Compatibility:
This jacket is designed as an outerwear piece for adult males. Its sizing is generally compatible with standard apparel sizing. It can be worn over base layers or mid-layers for added warmth depending on the temperature.
Care Instructions:
To maintain the jacket's performance and longevity:
- Washing: Machine wash at 30°C (gentle cycle). Wash with similar colors.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. It is recommended to add tennis balls to the dryer to help restore the loft of the synthetic insulation.
