FAQs
What is ISOTEX 15000?
ISOTEX 15000 is a waterproof, breathable, and windproof performance technology developed by Regatta. The '15000' refers to the hydrostatic head rating, indicating its ability to withstand 15,000mm of water pressure before leaking, and its breathability rating (MVTR), which is also typically high.
Can this jacket be worn in cold weather?
This is a shell jacket, meaning it is designed to protect you from rain and wind. It does not have built-in insulation. For cold weather, you will need to wear warm layers underneath, such as a fleece or insulated jacket.
How do I wash the jacket?
You can machine wash the jacket on a gentle cycle at 30°C with similar colors. Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners or bleach. Tumble dry on a low heat or line dry.
Is the hood detachable?
No, the hood is grown-on, meaning it is permanently attached to the jacket.
What does 'longer length' mean?
The 'longer length' typically means the jacket extends below the hip, offering more coverage and protection for the upper legs compared to a standard short jacket.
Does the jacket have pockets?
The product description does not specify pocket details, but most functional jackets of this type include hand pockets. Please refer to product images or detailed specifications if available.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is leaking during heavy rain.
Ensure all zippers are fully closed and check that the hood and cuffs are tightened. If leaks persist, the DWR treatment may need to be reapplied. Verify that the taped seams are intact.
Jacket feels clammy inside.
This may indicate reduced breathability. Ensure the inner lining is clean and free from dirt or residue that could block pores. Consider washing according to care instructions.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Gently try to move the zipper. Clean any debris from the teeth. You can apply a small amount of wax or a specialized zipper lubricant to help it glide smoothly.

- Tumble Dry: It is generally recommended to tumble dry on a low heat setting or line dry. Avoid high heat, which can damage the waterproof membrane.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach, as these can affect the fabric's performance and waterproofing.
