FAQs
What does Isotex 15000 mean?
Isotex 15000 refers to Regatta's waterproof and breathable fabric technology, indicating a hydrostatic head of 15,000mm (waterproofness) and a breathability rating of 15,000g/m²/24hrs (moisture vapor transmission).
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
Yes, the Isotex 15000 fabric with taped seams provides reliable protection against moderate to heavy rainfall.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash at 40°C using a liquid detergent. Do not use powder detergent, bleach, iron, or dry clean. Tumble dry on a low heat.
Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?
This jacket is primarily for waterproofing and wind resistance. For cold weather, it is recommended to layer with insulating garments underneath.
What are the pocket sizes like?
It features two lower patch pockets with flaps, which are suitable for storing items like gloves or a small wallet. There is also an internal security pocket for valuables.
How do I reapply the water-repellent finish?
You can use a spray-on or wash-in waterproofing product designed for outdoor gear. Follow the specific instructions provided with the re-proofing agent and ensure the jacket is clean before application.
What is the fit like?
The jacket is designed for adult females and offers a regular fit suitable for layering. Specific measurements can be found on the brand's sizing chart.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is leaking water.
Ensure all seams are properly taped. If leaks persist, the DWR treatment may need reapplication or the fabric may be compromised.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and water. Apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to the zipper track.
Hood drawcords are not tightening.
Check if the cord lock mechanism is functioning correctly. Ensure the cord is not frayed or damaged.
Jacket feels clammy inside.
This could be due to insufficient breathability or moisture buildup. Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers and that the jacket's vents (if any) are not obstructed. Check care label for proper washing to restore breathability.
