FAQs
What is the Isotex 15000 rating?
Isotex 15000 refers to the waterproof and breathability rating of the fabric. It means the fabric can withstand 15,000mm of water pressure (waterproof) and allows 15,000g of water vapor to pass through per square meter in 24 hours (breathable).
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
The jacket itself offers minimal insulation. It is designed as a waterproof and windproof outer shell, making it ideal for layering over fleece or thermal base layers in colder conditions.
How do I clean the jacket without damaging its waterproof properties?
Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with liquid detergent, rinse thoroughly, and tumble dry on low. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners, as they can degrade the waterproof finish.
What are the pocket sizes like?
The jacket features two lower patch pockets with flaps, which are of a standard size suitable for essentials like a phone, wallet, or keys. There is also an internal security pocket for valuables.
Is the hood adjustable?
Yes, the jacket has a grown-on hood with drawcords, allowing you to adjust the fit for better protection against wind and rain.
What is the material and weight of the fabric?
The jacket is made from 100% polyester with a cotton canvas look and weighs 190gsm. The lining is 100% polyester taffeta.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer repelling water effectively.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Wash the jacket according to care instructions and tumble dry on a low heat setting to reactivate it. If performance is still low, consider applying a re-proofing treatment.
Water seems to be leaking through seams.
Ensure all seams are properly sealed. If leakage persists, it might indicate wear and tear. Check the condition of the taped seams. For minor issues, a seam sealer product might help, but significant damage may require repair or replacement.
Jacket feels clammy or less breathable.
Check if the inner lining is wet or if the breathability pores are blocked. Ensure you are using the correct detergent and rinsing thoroughly. Mild blockages can sometimes be cleared by a gentle wash. Ensure the jacket is not overly saturated with sweat during wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This jacket requires no assembly. It is ready to wear straight out of the packaging.
Compatibility: Designed as a women's outerwear piece, suitable for adult wearers. It can be layered over various clothing items, from t-shirts to sweaters.
Care: To maintain the performance of your Regatta Orlea jacket:
- Washing: Machine wash at 30°C (86°F) on a gentle cycle. Use a small amount of liquid detergent. Do not use powder detergents, bleach, or fabric softeners.
- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with a couple of dry towels. This helps to re-activate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish. Alternatively, hang to dry away from direct heat sources.
- Re-proofing: For prolonged water repellency, apply a re-proofing treatment (available from outdoor retailers) after washing and drying, following the product's instructions.
