FAQs
What is Isotex 15000 fabric?
Isotex 15000 is a waterproof and breathable fabric technology used by Regatta. The '15000' refers to its hydrostatic head rating (how much water pressure it can withstand before leaking) and its breathability rating, ensuring you stay dry from both external rain and internal perspiration.
How do I care for the waterproof treatment?
After washing and drying, it is recommended to re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish. You can use spray-on or wash-in products designed for waterproof outdoor gear. Follow the instructions on the DWR product.
Can this jacket be worn in cold weather?
Yes, the jacket is designed as an outer shell. You can layer thermal base layers and mid-layers underneath to provide warmth and adapt to colder temperatures.
What is the environmental impact of this jacket?
The jacket is made with a significant portion of recycled polyester, contributing to reduced waste and a lower environmental footprint compared to using virgin materials.
Is the hood detachable?
The product description indicates an 'Adjustable wired technical hood,' suggesting it is integrated and not detachable.
What does 'partially elasticated cuffs with patterned curved tops' mean?
This means the cuffs have elastic in part of their circumference for a snug fit, and the top edge of the cuff has a decorative curved design.
Troubleshooting
Water is seeping through the jacket.
Ensure all seams are properly sealed by the manufacturer. If the water repellency has diminished, reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish according to product instructions.
Jacket feels clammy inside during activity.
This can happen during very high-intensity activity. Ensure the main zipper and any pit zips (if applicable) are open to maximize ventilation. Check that the garment isn't too tight, allowing for airflow.
Hood adjustment is not secure.
Ensure the drawcords are fully tightened and the toggles are secured. The wired brim should help maintain its shape.
Zipper is difficult to move.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free the fabric. If it persists, use a graphite pencil or wax on the zipper teeth to lubricate it.
