Product Information
Full details
This Regatta Corinne IV waterproof jacket is designed for adult women who need reliable protection from the elements during hikes and travel. Its key benefit is providing weatherproof and packable performance, allowing you to stay dry without being weighed down. A potential caveat is that while breathable, it may not be suitable for extreme high-exertion activities in very warm, humid conditions. The jacket features Isolite 15000 technology for waterproofing and breathability, a lightweight polyamide construction, sealed seams, and a packable design that folds into its own pocket.

FAQs
What does 'Isolite 15000' mean?
Isolite 15000 refers to Regatta's 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 15,000g/m²/24 hours, indicating good moisture vapor transfer.
How do I make the jacket waterproof again if the DWR has worn off?
You can restore the water repellency by washing the jacket with a technical wash and then applying a DWR treatment spray or wash-in product. Always follow the specific instructions for the treatment product and the jacket's care label.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
This jacket is primarily designed for rain protection. For cold weather, you would need to layer it over warm insulating clothing such as fleece or down. It is not insulated on its own.
What is the advantage of the packable design?
The packable design allows the jacket to fold into its own pocket and be carried easily, often converting into a small bumbag. This is ideal for carrying in a backpack or handbag for unexpected weather changes without taking up much space.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash inside out with a soft brush, using similar colours. Close all fasteners before washing. Do not bleach, tumble dry, or use fabric softeners. A specific technical wash is recommended for best results.
Is the hood detachable?
No, the hood on the Corinne IV jacket is fixed, but it does feature adjusters to help customize the fit.
What are the pocket features?
The jacket has two lower pockets that are secured with zippers, providing a safe place to store small items.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer beading water
The durable water-repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment suitable for waterproof clothing after washing and drying according to product instructions.
Jacket feels damp inside
This could be due to high humidity and exertion causing condensation, or the breathability limits being reached. Ensure all vents are open and consider wearing moisture-wicking base layers. If persistent, a more highly breathable jacket might be needed for your activity level.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Clean the zipper teeth with water and a brush. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based zipper lubricant to the teeth. Gently work the zipper up and down.
Jacket is difficult to pack into its pocket
Ensure the jacket is completely dry and as flat as possible before attempting to fold it. Push any excess air out as you fold it into the designated pocket.
