FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
Yes, the Regatta Romine II features Isotex 10000 waterproof fabric and taped seams, providing excellent protection against heavy rain and ensuring you stay dry.
How warm is the Thermoguard insulation?
The lightweight Thermoguard insulation provides manageable warmth suitable for cold and wet conditions, ideal for autumn and mild winter temperatures. For extreme sub-zero conditions, additional layering is recommended.
Can I machine wash this jacket?
Generally, yes, but always check the specific care label inside your jacket first. It's usually recommended to machine wash on a gentle cycle with a technical cleaner and avoid fabric softeners to preserve the waterproof coating.
Does the jacket come with an adjustable hood?
Yes, the jacket is finished with a practical, adjustable hood that provides additional protection from wind and rain and can be customized for a comfortable fit.
Will this jacket protect me from strong winds?
Yes, the dense weave of the Isotex 10000 polyester fabric acts as an effective barrier against wind, helping to maintain your body heat and comfort in windy conditions.
How do I maintain the waterproof performance?
To maintain waterproof performance, wash the jacket as per its care label, avoiding regular detergents and fabric softeners. If water stops beading on the surface, re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment.
Troubleshooting
Water is soaking through the fabric instead of beading off.
This indicates the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish needs to be reapplied. Wash the jacket according to care instructions and then apply a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment specifically designed for waterproof breathable fabrics.
Jacket feels less breathable or clammy inside.
The waterproof-breathable membrane may be clogged with dirt or oils. Wash the jacket thoroughly using a technical outerwear cleaner, ensuring all residues are removed. Avoid using fabric softeners.
Zipper feels stiff or is difficult to move.
Clean any dirt or debris from the zipper teeth using a small brush. Apply a zipper lubricant (like zipper wax or a silicone-based spray) to the teeth and slider.
Insulation seems flattened or jacket feels less warm.
Properly wash the jacket to allow the Thermoguard insulation to regain its loft. If permitted by the care label, a gentle tumble dry on low heat with a few clean tennis balls can help fluff the insulation.
Odor develops in the jacket.
Wash the jacket according to the care instructions, paying close attention to using appropriate cleaning agents for technical fabrics to eliminate odor-causing bacteria without damaging the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Its classic parka style and sophisticated finish make it compatible with a wide range of casual and smart-casual outfits.
Care
Proper care is crucial to maintain the performance and longevity of your jacket, especially its waterproof and breathable qualities.
- Check the Care Label: Always refer to the specific washing instructions on the inside care label of your jacket.
- Pre-Treatment: Before washing, close all zippers and fastenings. Loosely brush off any dry mud or dirt.
- Washing: Generally, most waterproof jackets with synthetic insulation are machine washable on a gentle cycle at a low temperature (e.g., 30°C/86°F) using a technical outerwear cleaner. Avoid regular detergents, fabric softeners, and bleach, as these can compromise the waterproof coating and breathability.
- Drying: Air dry the jacket naturally, away from direct heat. Tumble drying on a low setting may be possible, but always check the care label first. If machine drying, consider adding a few clean tennis balls to help fluff the Thermoguard insulation.
- Re-proofing: Over time, the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish on the outside of the jacket may wear off. If water no longer beads up but soaks into the fabric, you may need to re-apply a DWR treatment, available as a spray or wash-in product. Follow the instructions on the re-proofing product.
> Info needed: Specific washing and drying temperatures and instructions for Isotex 10000 and Thermoguard insulation should be checked on the product's internal care label or Regatta's official website for precise guidance.
