FAQs
What is Isotex 15000?
Isotex 15000 is Regatta's technology providing a waterproof and breathable membrane. The '15000' rating signifies its performance in terms of hydrostatic head (waterproofness) and breathability.
Can I detach the hood?
Yes, the hood is detachable and adjustable, allowing you to remove it when not needed or customize its fit.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash at 30°C with a mild liquid detergent. Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean. Tumble dry on low or hang dry.
What is the benefit of taped seams?
Taped seams ensure that water cannot penetrate through the stitch holes, significantly enhancing the jacket's overall waterproof performance.
How often should I reapply the DWR finish?
The frequency depends on usage and washing. A good indicator is when water no longer beads on the surface. Typically, this may be after several washes or periods of heavy use.
What activities is this jacket best suited for?
This jacket is ideal for hiking, trekking, walking, and general outdoor activities in wet and windy conditions. Its waterproof and breathable features make it versatile for various adventures.
Does this jacket come in other colors or sizes?
While this specific guide is for the blue, size L, the Oakhowe jacket is available in other sizes and potentially other colors from Regatta, depending on the season and retailer.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer beading water effectively
The Durable Water-Repellent (DWR) finish may need to be reapplied. Wash the jacket according to care instructions, then apply a suitable DWR spray or wash-in treatment, and tumble dry on low to activate.
Water is leaking through seams
Ensure the taped seams are intact and not peeling. If damage is present, this may affect waterproofness. Clean the area and consider a seam sealer if the tape is merely lifting slightly, otherwise, contact customer support.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and some water. Lubricate the zipper with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Hood adjustment is not secure
Check that the shock cords and toggles for the hood adjustment are functioning correctly. Ensure they are pulled tight and the toggles are locked in place to maintain the desired fit.
