Product Overview
The Regatta Professional Navigate waterproof insulated jacket (RG580) is a technically advanced solution for the modern professional who requires uncompromising protection from the elements without sacrificing mobility. This jacket is engineered with a focus on high-performance materials, offering a sophisticated balance of insulation and weatherproofing that is suitable for a variety of demanding work environments. Whether you are managing a site or moving between outdoor appointments, its streamlined design ensures you maintain a sharp appearance while staying entirely protected from the rain and cold.
Key Features
- Isotex 10000 Stretch Fabric: This recycled polyester fabric provides a high level of waterproof protection and breathability, ensuring you stay dry from external moisture while allowing internal perspiration to escape.
- Thermoguard Insulation: The recycled synthetic fibres trap air to provide exceptional warmth without adding excessive bulk to the garment.
- Grown-on Hood: Features concealed adjusters to provide a secure fit during high winds, protecting the head and neck without the need for cumbersome external toggles.
- Sustainable Construction: Utilising recycled polyester, this jacket supports corporate social responsibility goals by reducing environmental impact.
- Mechanical Stretch: The fabric is designed to move with the wearer, which is essential for active tasks and maintaining comfort throughout a long shift.
Design & Performance
Constructed from 100% polyester stretch fabric, the Navigate jacket is designed for durability and ease of movement. The Isotex 10000 membrane provides a formidable barrier against heavy rain, while the breathable nature of the fabric prevents the build-up of humidity inside the jacket. This makes it an ideal choice for active work where physical exertion is required. The inclusion of Thermoguard insulation provides a reliable thermal layer that remains effective even if the environment becomes damp, a significant advantage over traditional down insulation.
The garment's weight is perfectly balanced to provide significant warmth without the restrictive feeling of a heavy overcoat. The use of recycled materials does not compromise the jacket's performance; rather, it offers a modern, conscious approach to high-quality workwear design.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Navigate jacket is an excellent canvas for both print and embroidery, allowing you to align your team's appearance with your brand identity. For a refined and long-lasting professional appearance, we recommend embroidery. It is particularly suited for company logos and individual names, providing a textured, premium finish that withstands the rigours of daily wear.
If your branding requires large, vibrant graphics or high-impact visibility, our technical printing processes are ideal. Our in-house team, established in 1976 and based in our Telford facility, manages every stage of the customisation process to ensure your branding is applied with precision and care, maintaining the integrity of the waterproof fabric.
Use Cases
This jacket is highly versatile, making it suitable for site managers, surveyors, and outdoor technicians who need to present a professional image while staying warm. Its waterproof and breathable qualities also make it a superior choice for logistics staff or anyone working in exposed environments where the weather can be unpredictable. Given its smart aesthetic, it transitioned seamlessly from the workplace to more formal business settings.

Practical Advice
The Navigate jacket features a fit that allows for layering over a polo shirt or a mid-weight sweatshirt. If you intend to wear heavy knitwear or multiple layers beneath the jacket, we recommend reviewing our sizing guide to ensure maximum comfort. The stretch fabric provides more give than a standard rigid shell, which typically allows for a more tailored fit without restricting your reach.
Caring for your product
To maintain the technical performance of the Isotex membrane and the Thermoguard insulation, it is essential to follow specific care guidelines. Maintaining the water-repellent finish ensures that moisture continues to bead off the surface rather than soaking into the fabric fibers.
We recommend a cool machine wash using Regatta Isotex cleaner or a pure soap. Conventional detergents can contain chemicals that strip the waterproof coating from the fabric, significantly reducing its lifespan and effectiveness. Avoid the use of bleach at all costs, as this will degrade the polyester fibres and ruin the garment's structural integrity.
Do not tumble dry this jacket. High heat can cause the waterproof membrane to delaminate from the outer fabric, rendering the jacket no longer waterproof. Instead, allow it to air dry naturally. If necessary, use a cool iron to remove creases, but ensure the setting is low to avoid melting the synthetic fibres. Finally, do not dry clean this garment, as the harsh solvents used in the process are incompatible with technical waterproof membranes.
