What material is the jacket made from?

The jacket is constructed from 100% polyester stretch fabric, which contributes to its durability, flexibility, and waterproof properties.

How should I clean this waterproof jacket?

It is recommended to machine wash cold with a specialized technical wash for waterproof breathable fabrics. Avoid conventional detergents, fabric softeners, and bleach. Tumble dry on low or air dry completely.

Does the jacket have pockets?

Yes, the jacket is designed with multiple pockets for convenient storage of your essentials while outdoors.

Is the hood adjustable for a better fit?

Yes, the jacket features a grown-on technical hood with adjusters, allowing you to customize the fit for optimal protection and comfort.

What activities is this jacket best suited for?

This jacket is ideal for high-level hikes, climbing hills, walking through forests, and other active outdoor pursuits where reliable waterproof and breathable protection is essential.

What does 'articulated sleeves' mean?

'Articulated sleeves' are sleeves designed with a pre-bent shape at the elbow, providing enhanced freedom of movement and reducing fabric bunching during active use, such as reaching or climbing.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels less waterproof or 'wets out' quickly.

This often indicates that the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish needs refreshing. Clean the jacket with a technical wash according to care instructions, and if the issue persists, apply a suitable DWR re-proofing treatment.

Jacket feels clammy or less breathable inside.

Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and body oils can clog the breathable membrane. If clean, check your layering system; wearing non-breathable layers underneath can trap moisture. Also, confirm the temperature and humidity are within the jacket's optimal performance range.

Zipper snags or is difficult to operate.

Check if any fabric is caught in the zipper. Clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and warm water. If still stiff, apply a silicone-based zipper lubricant sparingly to the teeth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care The Regatta Birchdale II Waterproof Jacket is designed for ease of use and long-lasting performance. ### Setup and Adjustments Upon receiving your jacket, take a moment to adjust it for your comfort and protection: 1. Hood Adjustment: Use the adjusters on the grown-on technical hood to cinch it snugly around your head, providing maximum protection without obstructing your vision. 2. Cuff Adjustment: Fasten the adjustable cuffs to prevent water from running down your arms and to seal in warmth. 3. Hem Adjustment: Utilize the shock cord hem to tighten the bottom of the jacket, preventing drafts and maintaining a secure fit, especially in windy conditions. ### Compatibility This jacket is designed for adult female users. It is an ideal outer layer and can be worn over various base and mid-layers depending on temperature and activity levels. Its stretch fabric ensures it accommodates movement even with layers underneath. ### Care To maintain the waterproof and breathable properties of your jacket, follow these general care guidelines for technical outerwear: - Cleaning: Close all zippers and fasteners before washing. Machine wash cold with a technical wash specific for waterproof breathable fabrics. Avoid conventional detergents, fabric softeners, and bleach, as these can compromise the fabric's performance. - Drying: Tumble dry on low heat, or hang to air dry. Heat can help reactivate the durable water repellent (DWR) finish on the outer fabric. If air drying, ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing. - Re-proofing: Over time, the DWR finish may wear off. If water no longer beads on the surface, consider re-applying a DWR treatment using a spray-on or wash-in product designed for waterproof breathable garments. - Storage: Store the jacket in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
