FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The jacket provides excellent wind and rain protection, but it is not heavily insulated. For very cold weather, layering with a warm mid-layer like a fleece or insulated jacket is recommended.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the brand's specific sizing chart available on their website or product pages. Ensure you measure your chest and compare it to the provided measurements. The jacket is designed to accommodate layering.
Can I wash this jacket in a washing machine?
Yes, you can machine wash the jacket warm (40°C) using Regatta Isotex cleaner or a pure soap. Follow the specific rinsing and drying instructions provided in the care section.
How often should I re-proof the jacket?
It is recommended to re-proof the jacket after washing, especially if you notice that water is no longer beading on the surface. Regular re-application of a water repellent treatment will maintain its waterproof performance.
What does 'Isotex stretch 15000' mean?
Isotex stretch 15000 refers to the fabric's performance rating. '15000' typically indicates the hydrostatic head (waterproofness) in mm and breathability in g/m²/24hrs. 'Stretch' means the fabric has added elasticity for comfort and movement.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The jacket features zipped pockets, which are designed to offer good protection against the elements. While the zippers provide a seal, the pockets are generally water-resistant rather than fully submersible waterproof.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is leaking water
Ensure all zippers are fully closed and check that the taped seams are intact. If the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish has worn off, re-apply a suitable treatment after washing according to care instructions.
Jacket feels clammy inside
This can be due to high internal humidity. Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers and that the jacket's breathability is not compromised by dirt or residue. Clean the jacket as per care instructions.
Zipper is difficult to use
Gently try to move the zipper. If there is fabric caught, carefully free it. Apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to the zipper teeth if it continues to stick.
