Regatta Freesdale Hooded Walking Jacket - Grey - XXXL

Isotex 30000 refers to Regatta's proprietary fabric technology. The '30000' indicates a waterproof rating of 30,000mm and a breathability rating of 30,000g/m²/24hr, signifying high levels of both protection from rain and ability to allow moisture vapor to escape.

While the jacket provides excellent protection against wind and rain, it is a shell layer. For extreme cold, layering with insulating mid-layers and base layers is recommended.

Regular washing with a technical outdoor wash and occasional reapplication of a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment will help maintain the jacket's waterproof properties.

Yes, the jacket is suitable for various outdoor activities like trekking, camping, or even everyday use in adverse weather conditions due to its waterproof and breathable nature.

The wire peak in the hood helps it maintain its shape and stay fixed over your face, providing better protection from wind and rain, especially in harsh weather conditions, without obstructing your vision.

The jacket has a durable water repellent finish and taped seams, which offer significant protection. However, the pockets themselves are not typically seam-sealed like the main jacket body, so it's best to use the inner zipped security pocket for valuables in very wet conditions.

Ensure the DWR finish is active by washing with a technical outdoor wash. Re-apply a DWR treatment if necessary. Check that all seams are properly sealed and the zip is fully closed.

Adjust the hood's drawcords and the wire peak to ensure a snug fit around the face. Make sure the hood is fully extended and secured.

Clean the zipper teeth to remove any dirt or debris. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper track for smoother operation.

This may indicate reduced breathability. Ensure the inner pockets are not overloaded, as this can obstruct airflow. Check care label instructions for optimal washing to restore breathability.
