FAQs
What type of weather is this jacket best suited for?
The Regatta Hurden jacket is best suited for mild to cool weather conditions with light rain or wind. It provides warmth and water resistance for everyday use and light outdoor activities.
Is the synthetic insulation warm enough for winter?
While the medium-weight fill offers good warmth, it is primarily designed for transitional seasons. For extreme cold, layering or a heavier insulated jacket might be necessary.
Can I wash this jacket in a washing machine?
Yes, you can machine wash the jacket at 30°C on a gentle cycle using a liquid detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.
How do I maintain the water-repellent finish?
To maintain the water-repellency, avoid using fabric softeners during washing and consider reapplying a DWR treatment periodically, especially if you notice water is no longer beading off the fabric.
What are the dimensions of the zipped pockets?
Specific pocket dimensions are not provided, but they are designed to securely hold common essentials like a smartphone, wallet, or keys.
Does the hood offer full protection from heavy rain?
The grown-on hood provides good coverage for light to moderate rain. For prolonged exposure to heavy downpours, additional rain gear might be advisable.
What is the benefit of the micro ripstop fabric?
Micro ripstop fabric is known for its durability and resistance to tearing. The ripstop weave pattern prevents small tears from spreading, increasing the longevity of the garment.
Troubleshooting
Jacket not repelling water effectively
The water-repellent finish may have degraded over time. Reapply a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment following the product's instructions. Ensure the jacket is clean before application.
Synthetic insulation feels flat or clumpy
This can happen after washing. Tumble dry the jacket on a low heat setting with clean tennis balls. The bouncing action can help redistribute and restore the loft of the synthetic down.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant to the teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper slider.
