Troubleshooting

Jacket feels less waterproof or 'wets out'

The Durable Water-Repellent (DWR) finish may need refreshing. Refer to the garment's care label for instructions on cleaning or consider using a specialized DWR-restoring product.

Feeling damp or clammy inside the jacket

While the jacket is breathable, feeling damp could indicate that your inner layers are not wicking moisture effectively, or the outside DWR needs refreshing. Ensure you're wearing appropriate moisture-wicking base layers and check the DWR performance.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to operate

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and warm water to remove any dirt or debris. Ensure the zip is fully dried before applying a silicone-based zipper lubricant, if available and recommended.

Hood doesn't stay in place or fit correctly

Utilize all the adjusters on the grown-on technical hood. Experiment with tightening or loosening different cords until you achieve a snug, comfortable fit that moves with your head and maintains visibility.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Using your Regatta Birchdale II Waterproof Jacket effectively starts with proper adjustment:

  1. Adjust the Hood: Use the adjusters on the grown-on technical hood to cinch it comfortably around your face, providing maximum protection from wind and rain while maintaining visibility.
  2. Secure the Cuffs: Tighten the adjustable cuffs around your wrists to prevent water ingress and keep warmth in. This also helps to secure sleeves when layering with gloves.
  3. Zip Up Fully: Ensure the hi-tech water-repellent centre front zip is fully closed to utilize its inner zip guard and drainage channel for complete weather protection.

Compatibility

This jacket is highly compatible with a range of outdoor attire and activities:

  • Layering: It's designed to be an effective outer shell over base layers and mid-layers, allowing you to adapt your warmth to various weather conditions and activity levels.
  • Activities: Suitable for hiking, trekking, walking, commuting, and other outdoor pursuits where waterproof and breathable protection is essential.

Care

Proper care is crucial to maintain the performance of your waterproof jacket, especially its durable water-repellent (DWR) finish and breathability.

  • Specific care instructions are not detailed in the product information. To ensure longevity and optimal performance, always refer to the garment's internal care label before washing or treating.
  • Maintaining DWR: Over time, the DWR finish may diminish. If you notice water no longer beads up on the fabric, it may need to be reactivated or reapplied using specialized DWR-restoring products, following their specific instructions. Consult your garment's care label or manufacturer guidelines for recommended methods.
