Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Brindel Hooded Pack-It Jacket is designed for women seeking reliable protection from sudden rain showers without adding bulk. Its key benefit is its ultra-lightweight, waterproof, and breathable ISOLITE 15000 fabric that packs away into its own pocket, making it an ideal companion for festivals and travel. A potential consideration is that its lightweight nature may offer less insulation in colder conditions.

FAQs

What does ISOLITE 15000 mean?

ISOLITE 15000 refers to Regatta's proprietary lightweight, waterproof, and breathable fabric technology. The '15000' indicates a hydrostatic head rating of 15,000mm, meaning it can withstand a column of water 15,000mm high before leaking, and a breathability rating of 15,000 g/m²/24 hours.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The jacket is designed primarily for rain protection. While you can layer it over warmer clothing, it offers minimal insulation on its own. For very cold conditions, consider adding a fleece or insulated mid-layer.

How do I care for the jacket to maintain its waterproofness?

Follow the machine wash instructions. After washing and drying, applying a specific DWR spray or wash-in treatment will help restore its water-repellent properties.

Can I wear this jacket for high-intensity activities like running?

Yes, the jacket is breathable and lightweight, making it suitable for moderate to high-intensity activities. The breathability rating helps manage moisture during exertion.

What is the warranty period for this jacket?

Warranty information typically varies by retailer and region. Please check the product packaging or the retailer's website for specific warranty details.

Does the hood adjust?

Yes, the grown-on hood features drawcords, allowing you to adjust its fit for better protection against wind and rain.

Are there any internal pockets?

This model features two lower patch pockets on the exterior. It does not have internal pockets.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is not fully waterproof anymore

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and reapply a DWR treatment suitable for waterproof outerwear.

Jacket feels clammy inside during activity

While the fabric is breathable, intense activity can exceed its capacity. Ensure all ventilation (if any) is open and consider wearing moisture-wicking base layers underneath.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and gently lubricate with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant.

Jacket does not pack into its pocket easily

Ensure the jacket is completely dry and as flat as possible before attempting to pack it. You may need to experiment with folding techniques to find what works best for your jacket.
