FAQs
What does 'Isotex 15000' mean?
Isotex 15000 refers to Regatta's own technology that provides waterproof and breathable performance. The '15000' indicates a hydrostatic head rating of 15,000mm (waterproofness) and a breathability rating of 15,000g/m²/24hrs.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
The jacket provides waterproof and windproof protection. For very cold weather, it is designed to be layered over insulating clothing like fleece or down jackets to provide warmth. It is not a heavily insulated jacket on its own.
How do I clean the jacket to maintain its waterproofness?
Machine wash inside out at 30°C with a mild liquid detergent. Do not use fabric softener or bleach. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on low or line dry. Consider re-proofing after washing to restore the water repellency.
Is the hood adjustable?
Yes, the grown-on hood features drawcords, allowing you to adjust its fit for better protection against wind and rain.
What type of pockets does the jacket have?
It features two lower patch pockets with flaps and branded snap fastening, as well as an internal security pocket for valuable items.
What is the 'cotton canvas look fabric'?
This refers to the fabric's appearance and texture, which mimics traditional cotton canvas while being made from 100% polyester with a 190gsm weight, offering durability and performance benefits.
Can this jacket be dry-cleaned?
No, the jacket should not be dry-cleaned. It should be washed according to the care instructions, typically by machine washing and air or tumble drying on low.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer repelling water effectively.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket thoroughly and apply a suitable re-proofing spray or wash-in treatment, following the product instructions. Ensure all zippers and snaps are fastened before washing.
Water seems to be leaking through seams.
Ensure the jacket's seams are properly taped. If leaks persist after cleaning and re-proofing, check for any damage to the tape. Contact customer support if the issue is due to manufacturing defect.
Jacket feels clammy or damp inside, despite being waterproof.
This can be due to internal moisture from perspiration. Ensure the jacket is breathable and consider wearing moisture-wicking base layers. Check that the jacket is not too tight, allowing for air circulation. Wash the jacket as per care instructions to ensure breathability is not compromised by dirt or residues.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.
Clean the zipper teeth gently with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Allow to dry, then use a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant on the teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.
