FAQs

Is the Regatta Romine II suitable for heavy rain?

Yes, with its `Isotex 10000` waterproof fabric and `taped seams`, the jacket is designed to provide reliable protection even in heavy rain.

What kind of temperatures is this jacket good for?

Thanks to its `lightweight Thermoguard insulation`, this jacket is ideal for cold to chilly conditions. For very cold or freezing temperatures, we recommend layering it over appropriate base and mid-layers for optimal warmth.

Can I machine wash this jacket?

Yes, you can machine wash it on a gentle cycle at a low temperature (typically 30°C/86°F). Always use a technical wash for waterproof garments and avoid fabric softeners or bleach, as these can damage the fabric's waterproof and breathable properties.

What does 'Isotex 10000' mean?

`Isotex 10000` is Regatta's waterproof and breathable fabric technology. '10000' refers to its hydrostatic head rating, meaning it can withstand 10,000mm of water pressure, making it highly waterproof. It also indicates a high level of breathability for comfort.

Does the hood detach on the Romine II Parka?

Info needed: The product description states the jacket includes a hood for protection. Please refer to product images or detailed specifications for information regarding hood detachment.

Are there any external pockets in addition to the internal security pocket?

Info needed: The description specifically highlights an internal security pocket. For details on any external pockets, please consult product images or the complete product specifications.

What is Thermoguard insulation made of?

`Thermoguard` is Regatta's lightweight, synthetic insulation. It's typically made from polyester fibers, designed to provide excellent warmth-to-weight ratio without absorbing much water, ensuring performance even in damp conditions.

Troubleshooting

Jacket no longer repels water effectively; fabric 'wets out'.

This usually means the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish needs rejuvenating. Wash the jacket using a technical cleaner for waterproof garments, then apply a DWR re-proofing spray or wash-in treatment following the product's instructions. Ensure the jacket is clean before re-proofing.

Jacket feels clammy or less breathable.

The fabric's pores might be clogged with dirt, body oils, or residues from regular detergents. Wash the jacket with a technical cleaner designed for breathable fabrics. Ensure thorough rinsing and avoid fabric softeners.

Zipper is stiff or gets stuck.

Clean the zipper teeth with a small brush to remove any dirt or debris. Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (e.g., silicone-based spray or balm) or rub a graphite pencil along the teeth to help it glide smoothly.

Jacket seems too cold for advertised warmth.

While it features `Thermoguard insulation`, its 'lightweight' nature means it's designed for manageable warmth. For very cold conditions, ensure you are using appropriate base layers and mid-layers underneath the jacket to maximize insulation.

Compatibility

  • User: Designed for adult women seeking a functional yet fashionable outer layer.
  • Activities: Ideal for a wide range of activities including daily wear, urban commuting, walking, light hiking, and general outdoor use in cold and wet conditions.
  • Layering: Its design accommodates layering, allowing you to adjust your warmth level by wearing base and mid-layers underneath for colder temperatures.

Care Instructions

Proper care is essential to maintain the performance and longevity of your waterproof and breathable jacket. Always refer to the care label inside your jacket for specific instructions.

  1. Preparation: Before washing, close all zippers, fasteners, and flaps. Empty all pockets.
  2. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at a low temperature (typically 30°C / 86°F).
  • Use a technical wash specifically designed for waterproof and breathable garments (e.g., Nikwax Tech Wash, Grangers Performance Wash). These products clean effectively without damaging the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish or the waterproof membrane.
  • DO NOT use fabric softener, bleach, or biological detergents, as these can clog the fabric's pores, impairing breathability, and degrade the waterproof coating.
  1. Rinsing: Ensure the jacket is thoroughly rinsed to remove all detergent residues.
  2. Drying: Hang to air dry in a well-ventilated area, away from direct heat sources or sunlight. Tumble drying is generally not recommended unless the care label explicitly allows it on a low heat setting.
  3. Re-proofing: Over time, the DWR finish on the outer fabric may wear off, causing water to 'wet out' (soak in rather than bead off). You can restore this by applying a spray-on or wash-in re-proofing treatment designed for waterproof-breathable fabrics.
