The Regatta Navaeh jacket excels in providing reliable weather protection for various scenarios. Its Isotex 10000 fabric and taped seams mean you can confidently wear it during heavy rain showers for activities like dog walking, commuting, or light hiking, knowing you'll stay dry. The breathable nature of the fabric is crucial for comfort; it allows perspiration to escape, preventing the clammy feeling often associated with less breathable waterproofs. For instance, on a brisk walk in the park, you'll stay dry from rain while also avoiding overheating.
The adjustable grown-on hood is essential for windy, rainy conditions, providing full head protection without needing to carry a separate hat. Similarly, the adjustable waist allows you to tailor the fit – cinch it tighter to keep out drafts on a blustery day, or loosen it for more comfortable layering over a chunky fleece. The internal security pocket is a practical addition, perfect for safeguarding your phone, keys, or a small wallet from the elements and potential loss during your adventures or daily errands. This jacket is best utilized as an outer shell, designed to be layered over your chosen insulation (e.g., a fleece or warm sweater) depending on the temperature, making it a versatile piece for unpredictable weather.
Your Regatta Navaeh jacket requires no complex setup. Simply unpack it, adjust the grown-on hood using its toggles to comfortably fit your head, and use the waist adjusters to achieve your preferred fit, whether layered or worn alone. These adjustments ensure optimal comfort and weather protection.
This jacket is designed as a versatile outer shell. It is compatible with a wide range of layering systems:
Base Layers: Wear over moisture-wicking base layers for active pursuits.
Mid-Layers: Ideal for pairing with fleeces, sweaters, or light insulated jackets for added warmth in colder conditions.
Everyday Wear: Easily fits over casual clothing for daily commutes or errands in wet weather.
Its lightweight design makes it suitable for packing in a bag for unpredictable weather during travel or day trips.
Proper care is vital to maintain the waterproof and breathable performance of your Navaeh jacket.
Check Care Label: Always refer to the specific care instructions on the label inside your jacket first.
Preparation: Close all zippers and fasteners before washing.
Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle (typically 30°C or 40°C) using a technical cleaner specifically designed for waterproof and breathable fabrics (e.g., Nikwax Tech Wash or Grangers Performance Wash). DO NOT use conventional detergents, fabric softeners, or bleach, as these can impair the fabric's performance and DWR coating.
Rinsing: Ensure the jacket is thoroughly rinsed to remove all detergent residues.
Drying: Air dry away from direct heat. If the care label allows, tumble dry on a low heat setting to help reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating.
DWR Re-application: Over time, the DWR coating that makes water bead off the surface will wear off. When water no longer beads, apply a suitable spray-on or wash-in DWR re-proofer (e.g., Nikwax TX.Direct or Grangers Performance Repel) according to the product's instructions.
Storage: Store the jacket clean and dry, ideally hanging, to prevent creases that could affect performance.
