Full details
The Regatta Freesdale Waterproof Jacket is designed for adult males seeking robust protection against harsh weather during outdoor activities. Its key benefit lies in its advanced waterproof and breathable Isotex 30000 stretch fabric, ideal for exposed hill hikes and long days outdoors. A potential caveat is that while highly protective, its technical features may be more than needed for casual, light rain protection.

FAQs
What is the waterproof rating of this jacket?
The jacket uses Isotex 30000 fabric, meaning it has a waterproof rating of 30,000mm.
How breathable is the Freesdale jacket?
The breathability rating is 30,000 g/m²/24 hours, which is considered highly breathable for technical outdoor apparel.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?

How do I reapply the water-repellent finish?
After washing and drying, apply a suitable spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment according to the product's instructions. Allow it to cure as recommended.
What does 'taped seams' mean?
Taped seams mean that waterproof tape is applied over all the stitched seams on the inside of the jacket to prevent water from seeping through the needle holes.
Is the hood adjustable?
Yes, the grown-on technical hood features adjusters to customize the fit and provide optimal protection against wind and rain.
What is the material of the jacket?
The jacket is made from 100% polyester stretch ripstop fabric.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels damp inside
Ensure the breathability rating is not exceeded by heavy exertion without adequate ventilation. Check that all zippers are fully closed. If the DWR finish has worn off, consider reapplying it.
Water is leaking through seams
Verify that the taped seams are intact. If damage is suspected, contact customer support. Ensure the garment has been washed according to care instructions, as fabric softener can degrade seam tape.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Clean the zipper teeth with a brush and a small amount of water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper for smoother operation. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
