The Regatta Hamara IV Waterproof Jacket is designed for women seeking reliable protection during outdoor activities like hiking and walking in variable weather. Its primary benefit is providing excellent waterproof and breathable performance, ensuring comfort in wet conditions. However, as a lightweight shell, it's not designed for extreme cold and may require additional layers for warmth.

Isotex 10000 signifies the jacket's waterproof and breathable capabilities. '10000' refers to a hydrostatic head of 10,000mm, meaning a 10,000mm column of water can be placed on the fabric before it leaks. The '10,000g/m²/24 hours' breathability rating indicates how much moisture vapor can pass through a square meter of fabric in 24 hours.
The Hamara IV is a lightweight waterproof and breathable shell jacket. It provides excellent protection from rain and wind but does not offer significant insulation. For winter use, it's essential to layer appropriately with warm fleeces or insulated mid-layers underneath.
To maintain waterproofing, wash the jacket infrequently using a technical cleaner for waterproof fabrics (not standard detergent or fabric softener). Reapply a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment when you notice water no longer beads on the fabric surface. Always follow the care label instructions.
A 'grown on' hood means the hood is permanently attached to the jacket and cannot be detached. This design often offers better overall waterproofing at the neck seam.
The jacket features 'multiple zip pockets' for secure storage. While the outer fabric is waterproof, it's always advisable to use a dry bag or waterproof pouch for highly sensitive electronics if exposing them to heavy rain for extended periods, as zippers are often the weakest point against water ingress.
Yes, its 10,000g/m²/24 hours breathability rating makes it suitable for moderate to high-intensity activities like trail running, as it helps manage perspiration effectively. However, for extremely high-output activities, you might still experience some internal moisture buildup.
This indicates the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating is wearing off. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and then re-apply a DWR treatment. Many spray-on or wash-in products are available for this purpose.
This could be due to internal condensation, often caused by inadequate layering or the jacket's breathability being compromised. Ensure your base layers are wicking moisture effectively. Also, check that the DWR is active; if water isn't beading on the outside, it can reduce the fabric's ability to breathe.
Dirt or debris can cause zippers to stick. Clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and warm water. For continued stiffness, apply a specialized zipper lubricant (e.g., beeswax or silicone-based lubricant) sparingly along the teeth.
The Regatta Hamara IV Waterproof Jacket requires no complex setup. Simply select your appropriate size and adjust the hood and cuffs for a comfortable fit before heading out. Ensure you wear appropriate layers underneath based on the weather conditions – a base layer for moisture wicking and a fleece for warmth if needed.
This jacket is designed for adult women and is compatible with a wide range of outdoor activities including:
It layers well over standard outdoor clothing such as t-shirts, long-sleeved tops, and mid-weight fleeces.
Proper care is crucial to maintain the waterproof and breathable properties of your jacket.
> Info needed: [Specific care instructions from manufacturer's label or website for Isotex 10000 fabric. General advice typically includes: Wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with a technical wash (avoiding fabric softeners), air dry, and re-proof with DWR treatment when water stops beading.]
