FAQs

What does Isotex Stretch 15000 mean?

Isotex Stretch 15000 is Regatta's technology for waterproof, breathable, and windproof stretch fabric. The '15000' refers to a hydrostatic head rating of 15,000mm (waterproofness) and a breathability rating of 15,000g/m²/24 hours.

Is this jacket suitable for winter use?

The jacket provides excellent protection against rain and wind. For cold winter conditions, it is designed to be layered over insulating mid-layers like fleece or down jackets to provide warmth.

Can I machine wash this jacket?

Yes, you can machine wash the jacket at 30°C using a mild liquid detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Always follow the care label instructions.

How do I maintain the water-repellent finish?

After washing and drying, you can restore the water-repellent finish by applying a suitable spray or wash-in re-proofer designed for outdoor technical apparel. Ensure the jacket is clean before application.

Does the jacket have an internal pocket?

Yes, the jacket features an inner zipped security pocket for storing valuables.

What materials is the jacket made from?

The jacket is made from 100% recycled polyester stretch fabric, weighing 165gsm. It incorporates Isotex Stretch 15000 technology.

How do I adjust the hood?

The grown-on technical hood has adjustable toggles, allowing you to cinch it down for a secure and snug fit around your face.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer fully waterproof

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket thoroughly and apply a suitable re-proofing treatment following product instructions.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to move

Clean the zippers gently with water and a soft brush. Ensure no debris is lodged in the teeth. For persistent stiffness, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied carefully to the zipper teeth.

Jacket feels clammy inside

Ensure all ventilation points (if applicable) are open and that you are wearing breathable base layers. The breathability rating is high, but intense activity can still lead to moisture buildup if layers underneath are not managed.

Seams are leaking

Check if the taped seams are damaged or peeling. If so, this indicates a potential manufacturing defect or significant wear and tear. Contact customer support if within warranty.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30°C using a mild liquid detergent. Do NOT use bleach or fabric softeners.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low setting or hang dry away from direct heat.
  4. Re-proofing: For optimal water repellency, periodically re-proof the jacket using a suitable spray or wash-in product designed for technical outdoor clothing. Follow the re-proofer's instructions carefully.
  5. Cleaning Zippers: Gently clean water-repellent zippers with a soft brush and water to remove dirt that could impede their function. Avoid harsh chemicals.
