Full details

The Regatta Carlotte Lightweight Quilted Jacket is designed for adult women seeking comfortable, lightweight warmth for everyday outdoor activities. Its key benefit lies in its Warmloft synthetic insulation and water-repellent finish, providing protection against light showers and maintaining warmth. A potential consideration is its lightweight nature, which may not be sufficient for extreme cold without additional layering.

FAQs

What is Warmloft insulation?

Warmloft is a synthetic insulation that mimics the properties of down, providing lightweight warmth and compressibility. It retains its insulating performance even when damp.

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket has a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish, which is effective against light rain or drizzle. For heavy rain, a dedicated waterproof jacket is recommended.

How do I wash the jacket?

Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with a mild liquid detergent. Do not use fabric softener or bleach. Tumble dry on low heat with tennis balls to help restore loft.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?

The jacket provides lightweight warmth, suitable for mild to cool conditions. For colder temperatures, it's best used as a mid-layer over warmer clothing or with additional insulating layers.

What material is the jacket made from?

The jacket is made from lightweight 20d polyamide fabric with a durable water-repellent finish and synthetic Warmloft down-touch insulation.

Does the jacket have an internal pocket?

Yes, the jacket features one internal security pocket for valuables and two lower zipped pockets.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is not as warm as expected.

Ensure the jacket is layered appropriately for the temperature. The Warmloft insulation is designed for lightweight warmth and may require additional layers in very cold weather.

Water repellency seems reduced.

Clean the jacket according to care instructions. The DWR finish can be reactivated by tumble drying on a low heat setting after washing. For enhanced water repellency, consider a re-proofer spray suitable for synthetic materials.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. If issues persist, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.
