FAQs
Is the Regatta Marizion Padded Jacket waterproof?
No, the jacket features a water-repellent finish, meaning it will shed light rain and moisture effectively. However, it is not fully waterproof and is not designed for heavy downpours or prolonged exposure to severe wet weather.
What type of insulation does this jacket use?
The Regatta Marizion Padded Jacket uses feather-free synthetic insulation. This provides reliable warmth and is often easier to care for than natural down.
Can I machine wash this jacket?
Yes, you can machine wash the jacket. It is recommended to use a cold, gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Close all zippers and fasteners before washing, and avoid bleach or fabric softeners. Refer to the care label for specific instructions.
How do I restore the water repellency if it wears off?
If the water-repellent finish diminishes over time, you can restore it by cleaning the jacket and then applying a specialized DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment. These are available as wash-in solutions or spray-on products from outdoor gear retailers.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold winter conditions?
The jacket provides effective warmth for cool to cold weather. For very cold winter conditions, especially those with heavy precipitation, it's recommended to wear appropriate insulating layers underneath or consider a jacket with a higher warmth rating and fully waterproof features.
Does this jacket come in other colors or sizes?
Yes, the Regatta Marizion Padded Jacket is available in various other colors (such as Red, Green, Blue, and Grey) and different sizes. Please check the product listings for all available options.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels less warm than expected.
Ensure all zippers are fully closed. Check your layering – for colder temperatures, wearing appropriate base and mid-layers beneath the jacket will significantly increase warmth. Consider if the jacket's intended use matches the severity of the cold.
Water is no longer beading off the fabric effectively.
The water-repellent finish may need to be reactivated or reapplied. Wash the jacket following the care instructions to clean any residue that might be impeding the finish. If this doesn't work, consider using a specialized DWR (Durable Water Repellent) wash-in or spray-on product designed for outdoor gear.
The fit feels too snug, especially at the cuffs or hem.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If you are layering heavily underneath, this can affect the fit. The stretch binding is designed to be snug to seal out cold, but if it's uncomfortably tight, a larger size might be needed.

Care: To maintain the jacket's performance and longevity, follow these general care instructions for polyester insulated garments:
- Machine Wash Cold: Use a gentle cycle with cold water.
- Use Mild Detergent: Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, or fabric softeners, as these can damage the water-repellent finish and insulation.
- Close Zippers and Fasteners: Ensure all zippers and fasteners are closed before washing to prevent snagging.
- Tumble Dry Low or Air Dry: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with a few tennis balls to help fluff the insulation, or lay flat to air dry away from direct heat. Do not iron.
- Re-apply Water Repellent Treatment: Over time, the water-repellent finish may diminish. Consider using a wash-in or spray-on DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment when needed to restore performance.
