FAQs
What does 'Isotex 15000' mean?
'Isotex 15000' refers to Regatta's waterproof and breathable fabric technology. The '15000' indicates a hydrostatic head rating of 15,000mm, meaning it can withstand the pressure of a 15,000mm column of water before leaking, and a breathability rating of 15,000g/m²/24 hours, indicating how much water vapor can pass through the fabric.
Is this jacket suitable for heavy snow or extreme cold?
The Norana jacket is designed for rain protection. While it offers some insulation and wind resistance, it is not rated for extreme cold or heavy snow conditions. For such weather, layering with insulated garments would be recommended.
How do I find the right size?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart, usually available on the product page or manufacturer's website. Ensure you measure your chest, waist, and hips accurately to select the best fit. The jacket features an adjustable waist for further customization.
Can I wear this jacket over a thick jumper?
Yes, the jacket is designed for everyday wear and layering. Depending on your size choice, it should comfortably accommodate a medium-weight jumper or fleece underneath for added warmth.
What is the difference between waterproof and water-resistant?
Waterproof means the garment is designed to prevent water from passing through, often with taped seams and higher hydrostatic head ratings like this jacket's Isotex 15000. Water-resistant garments offer some protection but may not withstand prolonged or heavy rain.
How often should I re-apply DWR treatment?
The frequency depends on usage and care. A general guideline is to re-apply when you notice water is no longer beading up and rolling off the fabric surface. This might be after several washes or significant wear.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer shedding water effectively
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment according to the product's instructions after washing and drying the jacket.
Seams appear to be leaking
Ensure the taped seams are clean and intact. If damage is visible, professional repair may be needed. If the issue persists after washing, contact customer support.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a mild soap. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Once dry, a silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the teeth.
Jacket feels damp inside despite no external rain
This could be due to reduced breathability. Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the membrane. Consider washing with a technical fabric wash and reactivating the DWR.

Care Instructions:
To maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable properties, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash at 40°C (104°F) using a non-biological detergent. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can damage the fabric's performance.
- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent residue.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry away from direct heat sources. For best results in restoring water repellency, tumble dry after washing.
- Re-waterproofing: If the water repellency diminishes over time, a re-waterproofing treatment (available at outdoor retailers) can be applied after washing and drying, following the product's instructions.
