Best women’s Regatta waterproof jackets: three options compared
Among these three women’s Regatta jackets, consider Daysha for a concealed hood and simple zipped pockets, Bayletta II for waist shaping and snap-fastening pockets, or Birchdale II for stretch, sleeve articulation and chest storage. The right choice depends on the layout you prefer.
Based on 248 included owner reviews.
The differences that matter
Daysha uses Hydrafort polyester with a mesh lining. Bayletta uses Isotex polyester and a jersey-lined hood. Birchdale uses Isotex stretch fabric with a mesh-and-taffeta lining. We do not turn those names into a controlled breathability or rain-protection ranking.
Birchdale offers the most detailed listed movement and storage features of these three, including articulated sleeves and a zipped chest pocket. Bayletta has a different everyday layout, while Daysha puts its hood away between showers. Comparable manufacturer jacket weights were not established here, and Birchdale’s page conflicts on its numerical waterproof rating.

Choose around your needs
Choose Daysha for the simpler concealed-hood setup, Bayletta if the waist and pocket design suit you, or Birchdale if you will use its stretch and additional storage. These three models do not represent every Regatta option. Use the owner findings to identify fit questions and try the same layers under your shortlist.
