Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Freesdale Jacket is designed for adult males seeking reliable protection against harsh weather during outdoor activities, particularly exposed hill hikes. Its key benefit lies in its advanced waterproof and breathable Isotex 30000 stretch fabric, coupled with taped seams and a technical hood, offering superior defense against wind and rain. A potential caveat is that its specialized features may be more than needed for casual, light-duty use.

FAQs
What does 'Isotex 30000' mean?
Isotex 30000 refers to Regatta's waterproof and breathable fabric technology. '30000' indicates the hydrostatic head rating (30,000mm), signifying high waterproofness, and the breathability rating (30,000g/m²/24hrs), meaning it allows a large amount of water vapor to pass through.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the size guide provided by Regatta. This jacket is designed for men and is available in standard apparel sizes. Ensure you measure your chest and waist accurately.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
The jacket is designed for waterproof and windproof protection. For very cold weather, you will need to layer appropriate insulating clothing underneath, such as a fleece or down jacket.
Is the jacket suitable for everyday rain?
Yes, while it is designed for harsh weather, its waterproof and breathable properties make it suitable for protection against everyday rain. However, its technical features might be more than necessary for light showers.
How do I maintain the waterproof properties?
Regularly wash the jacket according to the care instructions and avoid fabric softeners. Periodically reapply a DWR treatment to the outer fabric to maintain its water-repellent capabilities.
What is the benefit of the taped seams?
Taped seams mean that the stitching points are covered with a waterproof tape. This prevents water from seeping through the tiny holes created by the needle during sewing, ensuring complete waterproofness.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof or breathable
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment following product instructions. Ensure the jacket is clean before reapplication, as dirt can impede effectiveness. Wash regularly according to care instructions.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to operate
Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush to remove any debris. Apply a graphite pencil lead or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth. Ensure zippers are fully closed and aligned before attempting to use them.
Hood adjusters are loose
Check that the cord locks on the hood adjusters are functioning correctly. If they are not holding the cord, they may need to be replaced. Ensure the cord is threaded correctly through the lock.
