Summer is over and the rain, wind and snow will be our weather highlights until spring arrives early next year, so you need to have your mens outdoor clothing sorted. After all here in the UK our weather is erratic to say the least so staying warm and dry is very important. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a short walk to the shops or a full day’s walking in the hills you need to be aware of what your chosen jacket will do for you.

You need to be looking for terms such as waterproof, breathable and wind resistant, but you also get each manufacturer’s own special fabrics; so here is some additional information on some of the materials that Regatta have on offer for the winter, and all year round.

Isolite is regarded as the signature waterproof and breathable lightweight fabric which is designed to keep you dry and comfortable. The material has been given a durable water repellent treatment to enhance the waterproofing and so force’s the rain to run off. It also has a hydrophilic breathable system built into it, which means that moisture from sweat can vaporise and escape through the fabric. The material comes in different versions with higher specifications including more features, so you can choose your budget but still be assured that you will stay dry and warm whatever the weather throws at you.

Isotex 20000 XPT is a top of the range fabric that is used in both jackets and trousers. It offers the latest advances in waterproofing, breathability and windproofing so the garments it is utilised in do tend to cost that little bit extra. However, the extra cost is reflected in the high level of breathability and waterproofing levels the material supplies. Take a look at the Alaina 3-in-1 ladies jacket which uses this fabric in its make-up, offering unrivalled protection against rain, wind and cold. In addition the inner jacket, a lightweight fleece, traps air close to your body keeping you warm whatever the winter conditions you have to face.

So whatever your budget, you know that a Regatta jacket won’t let you down this winter and here at Outdoor Look we have a great range in both mens outdoor clothing and ladies, and as always at the best discounted prices around. There is no excuse so make sure you stay war m and dry this winter.
