FAQs
What does Isotex 15000 mean?
Isotex 15000 is Regatta's own technology providing waterproof and breathable performance. The '15000' indicates it can withstand 15,000mm of water pressure before leaking, and offers good breathability.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
The jacket itself is designed for weather protection. For very cold conditions, it is recommended to layer a warm insulating jacket or fleece underneath.
How do I clean the jacket if it gets muddy?
Brush off excess dirt. Wash on a gentle cycle at 40°C with a mild detergent, and rinse thoroughly. Avoid fabric softeners.
Is the hood adjustable?
The hood is detachable and typically features adjusters to ensure a snug fit around the face and head.
What is the benefit of taped seams?
Taped seams prevent water from seeping through the stitching holes, ensuring the jacket remains completely waterproof.
How often should I reapply a DWR treatment?
Reapply a DWR treatment when you notice water no longer beads up on the surface of the fabric and starts to soak in. This is typically after several washes or significant wear.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer fully waterproof
Ensure the jacket has been washed and reproofed correctly. Check seams for any damage. Reapply a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
Hood is not staying attached
Check the fastenings (snaps or zipper) connecting the hood to the jacket and ensure they are securely engaged.
