Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Hurden Padded Jacket is designed for adult males seeking a warm, lightweight, and weather-resistant outerwear option for outdoor adventures. Its key benefit is providing reliable insulation and protection from light rain without adding bulk, making it ideal for hiking and trail activities. A potential caveat is that while water-repellent, it may not offer full waterproofing in heavy downpours. This jacket features a durable polyamide ripstop fabric with a high-shine finish, synthetic down insulation, and a grown-on hood for added protection.

FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The jacket has a water-repellent finish, which is effective against light rain and showers. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, a fully waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.
What type of insulation does it use?
It uses feather-free premium synthetic down insulation, which provides warmth without the weight and performs well even when damp.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softener. Tumble dry on low heat with tennis balls.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold winter conditions?
The jacket provides reliable warmth suitable for cold hikes and frosty days. For extreme winter conditions, layering with additional warm clothing may be necessary.
What does 'micro ripstop' mean?
Micro ripstop is a weaving technique that makes fabric resistant to tearing and ripping. It involves reinforcing the fabric with stronger threads at regular intervals.
What are the pocket features?
The jacket has two zipped lower pockets, designed to securely hold your essential items.
Troubleshooting
Reduced water repellency
Clean the jacket according to care instructions. Re-apply a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment.
Insulation feels flat or clumpy after washing
Ensure the jacket is completely dry. Tumble dry on a low heat setting with clean tennis balls to help break up clumps and restore loft.
Zipper is stiff or sticking
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a small brush. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or graphite from a pencil to the teeth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket requires no setup; it is ready to wear out of the package. It is designed for adult male wearers. Care instructions are crucial for maintaining its performance:
- Washing: Machine wash at 30°C (85°F) on a gentle cycle. Use a liquid detergent and avoid fabric softeners.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting, preferably with tennis balls, to help restore the loft of the synthetic insulation. Ensure the jacket is fully dry before storing.
- Re-proofing: Periodically, you may need to re-apply a water-repellent finish using a spray-on or wash-in proofer designed for outdoor clothing to maintain its water-resistance.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing it for long periods to preserve the insulation's effectiveness.
