Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
Your Regatta Romine Jacket is ready to wear straight out of the packaging. Simply put it on and adjust the hood as needed for immediate comfort and protection.
Care Instructions
Proper care will maintain the jacket's performance and extend its lifespan. Always refer to the care label inside your jacket for specific instructions.
- Washing: Machine wash cold (typically 30°C) with a mild, technical cleaner designed for waterproof breathable fabrics. Avoid biological detergents, fabric softeners, and bleach, as these can degrade the waterproof coating and breathability.
- Drying: Hang dry the jacket away from direct heat. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can damage the waterproof membrane. Ensure it is completely dry before storing.
- Re-proofing: Over time, the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish on the outer fabric may wear off, causing the fabric to 'wet out' (absorb water instead of beading it). This doesn't mean the jacket leaks, but it can reduce breathability. Re-treat the jacket with a DWR re-proofer spray or wash-in treatment specifically designed for waterproof outerwear, following the product's instructions.
- Storage: Store your jacket clean and dry in a cool, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight.
Compatibility
This jacket is designed to be worn over standard clothing layers. Its fit allows for light-to-medium layering, such as a base layer and a mid-layer fleece, to adapt to varying temperatures.
