Regatta Jackets for Spring

Regatta Jackets for Spring

Spring is definitely in the air, the birds are singing and the flower buds are waking up to the long awaited sunshine. If you have been in hibernation these last few months, then now is the ideal time to dust down the walking boots and walk off the winter excesses.

We went for a drive along the Jurassic coast this week and it is amazing what effect the sunshine has on everything and the amazing boost it gives to your general well being.

Even though the temperatures are warmer, we still took a waterproof jacket and a fleece jacket to protect against the chilly breeze and spring showers.

When it comes to choosing a waterproof jacket, Regatta is a well know brand you can rely on. Regatta offer a wide variety of waterproof jackets incorporating Regatta fleeces that take advantage of the latest development in fabric technology ensuring you stay warm and dry.

Waterproof Jacket Technology

Regatta Waterproof Jacket Technologies

Regatta Waterproof Jacket Technologies

Buying a waterproof jacket in 2009 is a totally different to purchasing an outdoor jacket, say 10 years ago. The biggest developments in waterproof jackets is the fabric technology that ensures you stay warm and dry.

Waterproof jacket technology has come along way since the age of the “Mac”, the classic waterproof jackets popular in the 1800’s. Named after the designer, Charles Macintosh who found a way of adding a rubber formula to clothing fabric and effectively waterproofing it, the Mac is the forerunner of waterproof coats we see today.

The R&D teams of th elikes of Dunlop, WL Gore and Sympatex have been responsible for taking the technology to new levels in the last few years meaning that even the cheapest of jackets can now include very high performance waterproof materials.

With the addition of breathable materials such as Gore-tex and Hydrafort and the option to zip in an extra layer, today’s jackets are designed to cope with the harshest of conditions but also keep you warm and comfortable.

Waterproof Jacket Features

Today’s waterproof jackets offer a multitude of features that mean you can enjoy the great outdoors without having to worry about your clothing:-

  • Hardwearing materials
  • Ultralight / lightweight / heavyweight
  • Snag-free
  • Rip-stop material
  • Detachable Hood / climbing helmet hood / hood peak
  • Storm flaps
  • Deep chest pockets
  • Map pockets
  • Breathable
  • Warm
  • Windproof
  • Waterproof
  • Cinch cords
  • Weatherproof / waterpoof zips
  • Full length, 3/4 length or half length
  • Active sports cut design
  • Long-tail cut
  • Resistance to contaminants such as body oils, cosmetics, salt water, insect repellent and other environmental contaminants.

Breathable Waterproof Jackets

One of the greatest developments in outdoor jacket technology is breathable waterproofing, a technique that not only keeps the water out but also stops any condensation building up on the inside of your jacket. Not only do these materials have excellent water repellant properties but they “breathe” allowing any internal moisture to be wicked away.

Regatta Waterproof Jackets

The latest Regatta Waterproof Jackets include many of the features above and have several patented technologies including:-

Isotex 5000: Waterproof, Windproof, Breathable Fabric

Isotex 5000 fabric is both waterproof and breathable to keep you dry and comfortable in the outdoors.

  • Isotex 10000 XPT offers a barrier against water droplets to protect you from the elements
  • Highly permeable to water vapour allowing perspiration to escape more effectively to keep you dry and comfortable
  • Windproof performance eliminates windchill
  • Atl Durable Water Repellent (DWR) outer fabric treatment helps rain water run off

Buying a Waterproof Jacket

If you are considering buying from the range of Regatta Waterproof Jackets it is worth thinking about the conditions you are going to use it in. With so many styles and technologies now available there is a jacket for almost every occasion, whether it is simple casual wear around town or using it on camping and walking trips in the harshest of weathers.

Keep this information in mind when you are choosing your next waterproof jacket, read the labels and do some research on the technologies listed. If you are still not sure by all means give us a call and we would be happy to discuss which jacket would best suit your needs.
