FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The Birchdale II Jacket is designed as a waterproof and breathable shell. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer insulating clothing underneath for warmth.
How do I know if the DWR finish needs re-applying?
If water no longer beads up on the fabric surface and instead soaks in, it's a sign that the DWR needs to be reactivated or re-applied.
Can I machine wash this jacket?
Yes, you can machine wash it on a gentle cycle using a technical wash or mild liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, and powder detergents.
What does 'Isotex 15000' mean?
Isotex 15000 refers to the hydrostatic head rating, indicating the fabric's ability to withstand water pressure. 15000mm means it can withstand a column of water 15 meters high before leaking, signifying good waterproofness.
Are there other color options available?
Yes, this model is available in other colors. Please check the product listings for alternative color variations.
What is the warranty period for this jacket?
Please refer to the retailer's or manufacturer's warranty information for specific details on coverage and duration.
Can the hood be removed?
Typically, Regatta jackets have integrated or adjustable hoods. Please check the product description or images for specific details on hood adjustability or removability.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is leaking water
Ensure the DWR finish is active. Clean the jacket using a technical wash and consider re-applying a DWR treatment. Check that all seams are properly taped and undamaged.
Jacket feels clammy or sticky inside
The jacket may not be breathable enough for the activity level or conditions. Ensure the inner lining is clean, as dirt can impede breathability. Check if the vents (if any) are open.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a little soap. Lubricate with a graphite pencil or a silicone-based lubricant designed for zippers.
Adjustable cords or toggles are not holding
Ensure the toggles are clean and free of debris. If they still do not hold, the internal spring mechanism may be worn, and repair or replacement of the toggle may be needed.
