FAQs
Is the Regatta Romine Jacket suitable for heavy rain?
Yes, with Isotex 10000 waterproof fabric and taped seams, the jacket is designed to offer robust protection against rain, including moderate to heavy downpours.
How warm is the Thermoguard insulation?
The Thermoguard insulation provides lightweight warmth, making the jacket comfortable for cool to cold conditions. For very cold or freezing temperatures, it is recommended to wear appropriate insulating layers underneath.
Can I machine wash this jacket?
Yes, you can machine wash the jacket. Always use a technical cleaner specifically designed for waterproof breathable fabrics and wash on a cold cycle (typically 30°C). Avoid fabric softeners and bleach.
Does the 'wool-effect' fabric contain actual wool?
No, the 'wool-effect' refers to the visual texture and appearance of the polyester fabric. It does not contain actual wool, making it suitable for individuals with wool sensitivities or those preferring synthetic materials.
How do I restore the waterproofing if it starts to fail?
If water stops beading on the surface, the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish needs refreshing. Clean the jacket and then apply a DWR re-proofer spray or wash-in treatment according to the product instructions.
What is the internal security pocket for?
The internal security pocket is designed to securely store small valuables such as keys, a phone, or a wallet, keeping them safe and protected from the elements.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer beading water (wetting out)
This usually means the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish has worn off. Wash the jacket using a technical cleaner and then apply a spray-on or wash-in DWR re-proofer designed for waterproof fabrics. Follow the re-proofer's instructions carefully.
Jacket feels clammy or less breathable
Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can block the breathable membrane. If cleaning doesn't help, the DWR might need refreshing (see above). Also, ensure your inner layers are wicking moisture effectively; cotton layers can hold moisture against the jacket.
Zipper gets stuck or is difficult to move
Clean the zipper teeth with a small brush or damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris. If still stiff, apply a specialized zipper lubricant or a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) along the teeth.
Small tear or puncture in the fabric
For minor damage, use a specialized waterproof repair patch kit designed for outdoor gear. For larger or critical damage, professional repair may be necessary to maintain waterproof integrity.

Care Instructions
Proper care will maintain the jacket's performance and extend its lifespan. Always refer to the care label inside your jacket for specific instructions.
- Washing: Machine wash cold (typically 30°C) with a mild, technical cleaner designed for waterproof breathable fabrics. Avoid biological detergents, fabric softeners, and bleach, as these can degrade the waterproof coating and breathability.
- Drying: Hang dry the jacket away from direct heat. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can damage the waterproof membrane. Ensure it is completely dry before storing.
- Re-proofing: Over time, the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish on the outer fabric may wear off, causing the fabric to 'wet out' (absorb water instead of beading it). This doesn't mean the jacket leaks, but it can reduce breathability. Re-treat the jacket with a DWR re-proofer spray or wash-in treatment specifically designed for waterproof outerwear, following the product's instructions.
- Storage: Store your jacket clean and dry in a cool, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight.
Compatibility
This jacket is designed to be worn over standard clothing layers. Its fit allows for light-to-medium layering, such as a base layer and a mid-layer fleece, to adapt to varying temperatures.
