FAQs
Is this jacket breathable?
The jacket uses Isolite 10000 fabric, which offers a balance of waterproofing and breathability. While it provides good protection, it may not be as breathable as highly technical, expensive jackets during intense physical activity.
How small does it pack down?
It packs into its own integrated stuff sack, making it very compact and easy to carry in a backpack or pocket.
What is the best way to clean the jacket?
Machine wash at 30°C with a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softener. Tumble dry on low or air dry.
Can I wear this over a thick jacket?
This jacket is designed to be lightweight and packable. It can be worn over a base layer or a light fleece, but it might be restrictive if worn over a bulky insulated jacket.
What does 'Isolite 10000' mean?
Isolite 10000 refers to Regatta's fabric technology, indicating a hydrostatic head rating of 10,000mm, which signifies good waterproofing, and typically a breathability rating of 10,000g/m²/24hrs.
Does it have pit zips for ventilation?
No, this model does not typically feature pit zips. Ventilation relies on the fabric's inherent breathability and the main front zipper.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof
Ensure the jacket has been washed correctly without fabric softener. Consider re-waterproofing treatments if performance has significantly degraded over time.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a brush and a little soap and water. Allow to dry and try moving the zipper again. Avoid forcing it.
Hood adjustment cord is loose
Check the cord toggle. If it's not holding, the toggle mechanism may need to be replaced. Ensure the cord is threaded correctly through the toggle.
