Product Information
Full details
This Regatta Oakhowe waterproof jacket in green (XXXXL) is designed for adult males seeking reliable protection from the elements. Its key benefit is robust waterproofing and breathability thanks to Isotex 10000 fabric and sealed seams. A potential caveat is that while it offers good protection, it's primarily suited for active outdoor use rather than extreme cold without layering. Key features include a detachable hood, internal security pocket, and adjustable cuffs and hem for a customized fit, all constructed from 100% recycled polyester.

FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The jacket provides waterproof and windproof protection, but it has limited insulation. For very cold weather, layering with thermal base layers and mid-layers is recommended for warmth.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle using a liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry.
What does Isotex 10000 mean?
Isotex 10000 indicates the fabric's waterproof rating and breathability. '10000' refers to 10,000mm hydrostatic head for waterproofing and 10,000g/m²/24 hours for breathability.
Can I use fabric softener when washing?
No, fabric softener is not recommended as it can clog the pores of the fabric and reduce its breathability and water-repellent properties.
How often should I re-proof the jacket?
Re-proofing is recommended when you notice water is no longer beading on the surface and is soaking into the fabric. This can be done using a wash-in treatment or a spray-on proofing agent as needed, typically after several washes or prolonged use in wet conditions.
What are the dimensions of the internal zipped pocket?
Specific pocket dimensions are not provided, but it is designed to securely fit essential items like a smartphone or wallet.
Is the hood removable?
Yes, the hood is detachable, allowing you to remove it when not needed or in fairer weather.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is leaking water
Ensure all seams are properly sealed. Check if the water-repellent finish needs re-application; follow care instructions for re-proofing.
Zipper is stiff or stuck
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a bit of soap. Apply a graphite pencil (rubbing the tip on the teeth) or a silicone-based lubricant for smoother operation.
Jacket feels clammy inside
Ensure the jacket is not too tight, allowing for air circulation. Check that all vents (if any) are open and that the breathability is not compromised by dirt or residues; wash according to care instructions.
Hood adjustment drawstring is frayed
Carefully trim any frays and consider sealing the ends with a flame (with extreme caution) or a fabric glue.
