FAQs
How waterproof is the Regatta Hamara IV Jacket?
The jacket features Isotex 10000 technology, meaning it has a hydrostatic head rating of 10,000mm, ensuring it is highly waterproof for extended periods in heavy rain. It also has taped seams for complete protection.
Is this jacket suitable for cold weather?
The Hamara IV is a waterproof and breathable shell jacket. It does not provide significant insulation on its own. For cold weather, it is designed to be worn over insulating mid-layers for warmth.
How do I properly wash and care for this jacket?
Machine wash at 30°C (86°F) using a technical outerwear-specific cleaner. Avoid regular detergents. Tumble dry on low heat to help reactivate the DWR finish. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners.
Does the jacket have internal pockets?
Yes, it features an inner zipped security pocket, perfect for safely storing valuables like a phone or wallet.
What is 'Isotex 10000'?
Isotex 10000 is Regatta's waterproof and breathable fabric technology. '10000' refers to both the hydrostatic head (10,000mm) and the breathability rating (10,000g/m²/24 hours), indicating excellent performance in wet and active conditions.
Is the hood adjustable?
Yes, the jacket features a 'grown on' technical wire peaked hood with adjusters, allowing you to customize the fit around your head for maximum protection from the elements.
Is this jacket made from recycled materials?
Yes, the Regatta Hamara IV Waterproof Jacket is made with recycled 100% polyester fabric, reflecting its environmentally conscious design.
Troubleshooting
My jacket seems to be 'wetting out' (water soaking in instead of beading up).
This usually means the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish needs reactivation or replenishment. Wash the jacket using a technical outerwear cleaner and tumble dry on low heat. If the problem persists, apply a DWR re-proofing spray or wash-in treatment.
The jacket feels clammy inside, even though it's waterproof.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers that wick moisture away from your body. The jacket's breathability can be hindered if sweat is trapped by non-wicking layers. Also, confirm the DWR is active, as a 'wetting out' exterior can reduce breathability.
A zipper is sticking or difficult to move.
First, clean any dirt or debris from the zipper teeth using a small brush or damp cloth. If it's still sticking, apply a zipper lubricant (like zipper wax or a silicone-based spray) specifically designed for outdoor gear to the teeth and slider.
Pros and Cons

The Regatta Hamara IV Waterproof Jacket requires no complex setup. Simply unpack it and wear it as your outer layer over appropriate base and mid-layers, depending on the temperature. It is compatible with standard hiking and outdoor layering systems. For optimal performance and longevity, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash at 30°C (86°F) with a specialized technical outerwear cleaner (e.g., Nikwax Tech Wash or Grangers Performance Wash). Avoid using conventional detergents, fabric softeners, or bleach, as these can compromise the waterproof and breathable properties.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. The heat from the dryer can help reactivate the jacket's Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish. If the DWR performance significantly diminishes, you may need to apply a DWR re-proofing spray or wash-in treatment.
- Storage: Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing it in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing it tightly for long periods to maintain its fabric integrity.
- Inspection: Regularly check for any damage to zippers or seams. Promptly address any issues to maintain the jacket's protective qualities.
