FAQs
What is the primary intended use for this jacket?
The Regatta Hurden jacket is primarily designed for men's outdoor activities such as hiking, walking, and general casual wear in cool to moderately cold weather conditions.
Is the insulation suitable for very cold, freezing temperatures?
The jacket uses medium-weight synthetic down (140gsm fill), making it suitable for cool to cold weather. For extreme cold, layering with additional thermal garments is recommended.
How do I best maintain the water-repellent feature?
Wash the jacket using mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners. Re-apply a DWR treatment periodically, especially if you notice water is no longer beading on the surface, following the instructions on the treatment product.
Can I wear this jacket in heavy rain?
The jacket has a durable water-repellent finish, which is effective against light rain or showers. It is not designed for prolonged exposure to heavy downpours.
What does 'Feather Free' insulation mean?
'Feather Free' means the insulation is synthetic and does not contain any animal feathers. This is often a benefit for those with allergies or ethical concerns, and it maintains warmth even when damp.
How should I choose my size?
The jacket is described as 'True to size' with a 'Regular fit'. It is recommended to order your usual size. You can refer to the provided chest size guide for specific measurements (e.g., S: 37-38 inches).
Is this jacket made from sustainable materials?
Yes, the jacket is made with recycled content, contributing to more sustainable manufacturing practices.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels less warm than expected.
Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can degrade insulation. Consider adding a thermal base layer or mid-layer for colder conditions. Check that the synthetic down hasn't become compacted; tumble drying on low heat with tennis balls can help restore loft.
Water is soaking through the fabric.
The water-repellent finish may have worn off. Re-apply a DWR treatment to the outer fabric according to the product's instructions. Ensure zippers and seams are properly closed.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to use.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or graphite (from a pencil) to the zipper teeth to improve glide. Avoid forcing the zipper.
