Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Oakhowe Men's Hiking Jacket is designed for adult males seeking reliable protection during outdoor adventures. Its key benefit is providing waterproof and breathable comfort through advanced Isotex 15000 technology, keeping you dry and fresh in challenging weather. A potential consideration is that while highly water-resistant, prolonged submersion or extreme downpours may eventually test its limits. This jacket features taped seams, a durable water-repellent finish, a detachable hood, multiple zip pockets, adjustable cuffs, and a shock cord hem, making it a versatile choice for hiking and general outdoor activities.

FAQs
What does 'Isotex 15000' mean?
Isotex 15000 is Regatta's own waterproof and breathable fabric technology. The '15000' indicates a hydrostatic head rating of 15,000mm, meaning the fabric can withstand water pressure equivalent to a 15-meter column of water before leaking, and it also has good breathability properties.
How do I clean the jacket properly?
The jacket can be machine washed at 30°C on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or tumble dry. Close all zippers before washing.
Can I reapply the water-repellent finish?
Yes, the Durable Water-Repellent (DWR) finish can be reapplied after washing using a suitable after-wash DWR treatment. Follow the instructions provided with the re-proofer product.
Is the hood detachable?
Yes, the hood is detachable and adjustable. It attaches via a zip and can be customized for fit using drawcords.
What kind of pockets does the jacket have?
The jacket features multiple zip pockets, providing secure storage for your essentials.
What is the purpose of the shock cord hem?
The shock cord hem allows you to tighten the bottom of the jacket, creating a snugger fit to help lock out cold air and prevent drafts.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is leaking or no longer repelling water.
The Durable Water-Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Reapply a suitable DWR treatment following the product's instructions. Ensure seams are also checked; if they appear damaged, contact customer support.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and water. Lubricate with a silicone-based zipper lubricant or a graphite pencil. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Hood is not staying in place.
Ensure the hood is fully attached and zipped. Adjust the drawcords at the front and back of the hood for a snugger fit. Check that the toggles are securely fastened.
