FAQs
What is Isolite 5000?
Isolite 5000 is Regatta's fabric technology that provides a balance of waterproofing and breathability. The '5000' rating refers to its performance in hydrostatic head (waterproofness) and moisture vapor transmission (breathability) tests, indicating it's suitable for light to moderate rain and active use.
How do I know if the jacket will fit me?
Please refer to the size guide provided in the product description. For this jacket (22 UK), the corresponding chest measurement is approximately 52 inches.
Is this jacket suitable for hiking in heavy rain?
The jacket is waterproof and features taped seams, making it suitable for moderate rain. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain or extreme weather conditions, a jacket with a higher waterproof rating and more robust features might be more appropriate.
Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?
This jacket is designed primarily for rain protection and is unlined, offering minimal insulation. For cold weather, it is best worn as an outer shell over insulating layers such as fleeces or thermal tops.
How should I store the jacket when not in use?
The jacket is packaway, meaning it can be folded down small. Store it in a dry place. Avoid storing it compressed for extended periods to help maintain the fabric's integrity and waterproof properties.
Does the hood offer full coverage?
Yes, the hood is adjustable and designed to offer full coverage of the head and is intended to keep rain out effectively. You can adjust the fit using the drawcords for a secure feel.
What is the material of the jacket?
The jacket is made from 100% Polyamide, featuring the Isolite fabric technology.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof
The durable water repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Wash the jacket according to care instructions and then apply a suitable reproofing treatment. Ensure no fabric softener was used during washing, as this can impair waterproofing.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Gently clean the zipper with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris. Apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or a specialized zipper lubricant) to the zipper teeth to improve smoothness.
Jacket feels clammy inside
This can indicate a lack of breathability, often due to the fabric being overwhelmed by heavy perspiration or a blocked membrane. Ensure you are wearing breathable layers underneath and check care labels to confirm it hasn't been washed with fabric softener. If the issue persists, consider if the jacket is suitable for the activity's intensity level.
