Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Kadley Hooded Midlayer is designed for adult males seeking a lightweight, versatile layer for outdoor activities and active wear. Its key benefit is providing wind resistance with a smooth outer face and comfortable warmth through its soft tech fleece lining, all without bulk. A potential consideration is its specific blend of materials, which may influence breathability during high-intensity activities. Key features include a grown-on hood, multiple zipped pockets, and stretch binding for a secure fit.

FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this midlayer?

Its primary purpose is to provide a lightweight, warm, and wind-resistant layer for outdoor activities and casual wear, particularly useful in moderate or breezy conditions.

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, this midlayer is not waterproof. It offers wind resistance and warmth, but for protection against rain, it should be worn under a waterproof outer shell.

What activities is this midlayer best suited for?

It is ideal for trail walks, climbing, post-training wear, weekend scrambles, and general outdoor exploration where a balance of warmth, comfort, and mobility is needed.

How should I wash the Kadley Midlayer?

Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Avoid bleach, and tumble dry on a low heat setting. Iron on a low setting if needed. Do not dry clean.

Does the hood offer adjustability?

The hood is grown-on and features stretch binding around the opening to help maintain a snug fit, but it does not have separate drawcords for adjustability.

What are the material details?

The midlayer is made from a plain fabric with a technical fleece backing, consisting of 96% polyester and 4% elastane, with a weight of 180 g/m².

Can this be worn as an outer layer?

It can function as an outer layer in dry, mild conditions, but it is primarily designed as a mid-layer to provide insulation under a waterproof or windproof shell in more challenging weather.

Troubleshooting

Item feels too tight or too loose.

Check the size guide and ensure the correct size was ordered. The stretch binding at the hem and cuffs provides some adjustability, but fit is primarily determined by the main garment size.

Pilling on the fleece lining after washing.

Pilling can occur with fleece materials. Ensure washing on a gentle cycle and consider washing inside out. Avoid washing with abrasive items. If minor, pilling can often be carefully removed with a fabric shaver.

Zipper is stiff or snagging.

Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.
