Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Norana Hooded Waterproof Jacket is designed for adult females seeking a stylish yet functional outerwear option for everyday wear and outdoor activities. Its key benefit is providing reliable protection against rain and wind due to its waterproof and breathable Isotex fabric, taped seams, and adjustable features. A potential consideration is that while it offers good protection, it is designed for moderate weather conditions rather than extreme cold. This jacket combines weatherproofing with a flattering fit, making it ideal for commutes, walks, and busy days outdoors.

FAQs
What does 'Isotex 15000' mean?
Isotex 15000 refers to Regatta's proprietary waterproof and breathable fabric technology. The '15000' indicates a hydrostatic head rating of 15,000mm, meaning the fabric can withstand water pressure equivalent to a 15-meter column of water before leaking. It also signifies a breathability rating of 15,000 g/m²/24 hours.
How do I adjust the waist for a better fit?
Locate the shockcord around the waist on the inside or outside of the jacket. Pull the ends of the cord to tighten the waist and reduce its circumference. You can usually secure the cord with toggles or by tying it.
Can this jacket be worn in cold weather?
The Norana jacket provides excellent protection from rain and wind but is not heavily insulated. For cold weather, it is best worn as an outer shell over warm layers such as fleece or thermal tops to provide adequate warmth.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash at 30°C with a mild liquid detergent and rinse thoroughly. Avoid bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Do not dry clean. Refer to the care label inside the jacket for specific instructions.
What is the purpose of the DWR finish?
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish is a coating applied to the fabric's exterior. It causes water to bead up and roll off the surface, preventing the fabric from becoming saturated and helping to maintain its breathability and lightweight feel in wet conditions.
Is the hood adjustable?
Yes, the grown-on hood features drawcords that allow you to adjust its fit around your face for better protection against wind and rain.
Does the jacket have any internal pockets?
Yes, the jacket includes an internal security pocket, which is ideal for safely storing small, valuable items like a phone or keys.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer shedding water effectively.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and re-apply a suitable DWR treatment. Ensure you follow the product's specific re-application guidelines.
Water is leaking through seams.
Check if the taped seams are intact. If seams appear damaged or are peeling, professional repair might be needed, or the jacket may be compromised for heavy rain.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Lubricate with a graphite pencil or specialized zipper lubricant if needed.
Jacket feels damp inside after wearing.
Ensure the jacket is properly vented by adjusting drawcords. If the issue persists, it could be due to high humidity or intense activity causing condensation. Check the breathability rating and consider if it suits the activity level.
