Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Orlea Hooded Waterproof Jacket is designed for adult women seeking reliable protection from the elements without compromising on style. Its key benefit is offering waterproof and breathable Isotex 15000 fabric, making it suitable for various activities like commuting, outdoor excursions, and unpredictable weather. A potential consideration is its 100% polyester construction, which may feel less natural to some users compared to cotton blends. This jacket features a durable water repellent finish, taped seams for full waterproofness, a grown-on hood, and practical pockets.

FAQs
What does Isotex 15000 mean?
Isotex 15000 indicates the fabric's performance level. '15000' refers to the hydrostatic head rating in millimeters (15,000mm), signifying a high level of waterproofness. It also relates to a breathability rating of 15,000 g/m²/24hrs, meaning 15,000 grams of water vapor can pass through a square meter of fabric in 24 hours.
How should I clean the jacket?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 40°C with a liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Tumble dry on low or air dry. Do not iron.
Can I use fabric softener on this jacket?
No, it is recommended to avoid fabric softeners as they can degrade the waterproof and breathable properties of the Isotex fabric.
How do I re-apply waterproofing?
After washing and drying, use a suitable DWR spray or wash-in treatment. Follow the instructions on the waterproofing product carefully. Ensure the garment is clean before application.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The jacket provides waterproof and windproof protection, but it is not heavily insulated. It is designed to be layered, so you can add warm layers underneath for colder conditions.
What is the benefit of taped seams?
Taped seams are crucial for ensuring the jacket is fully waterproof. They cover the stitching holes, preventing water from seeping through the seams.
Can I adjust the hood fit?
Yes, the jacket features a grown-on hood with drawcords that allow you to adjust the fit for better protection against wind and rain.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer fully waterproof
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and re-apply a DWR treatment according to the product's guidelines.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Gently try to work the zipper up and down. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.
Hood drawcords are loose
Locate the cord stopper and adjust it to tighten the hood. If the stopper is damaged, it may need replacement.
