FAQs
What does 'Isotex 15000' mean?
Isotex 15000 is Regatta's technical fabric standard indicating 15,000mm waterproof protection and 15,000g/m²/24hr breathability, meaning it's highly waterproof and breathable.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle using a technical wash. Do not bleach, tumble dry, or use fabric softener. Hang to dry.
Can I wear this jacket in warmer weather?
While breathable, this jacket is designed for protection against the elements. It may be too warm for high temperatures but can be worn with layers removed in milder, wet conditions.
What is the benefit of taped seams?
Taped seams are sealed with tape to prevent water from penetrating through the stitching holes, ensuring the jacket remains fully waterproof.
How do I re-waterproof the jacket?
You can use a waterproofing spray or a wash-in treatment. Follow the specific instructions provided with the re-proofing product.
Is the hood adjustable?
The hood is detachable and typically features drawcords or adjusters to customize the fit around the face for optimal protection.
What kind of activities is this jacket best suited for?
It is ideal for hiking, trekking, climbing, and general outdoor activities where protection from rain and wind is required.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Re-apply a waterproofing treatment according to the product's instructions.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a small brush. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or graphite from a pencil to the zipper teeth.
Hood is not staying attached
Ensure the hood's attachment points (zipper and press studs) are clean and properly aligned before securing.
Jacket feels clammy inside
Ensure the jacket is properly zipped and the hood is adjusted to allow for ventilation. Check that the garment is not contaminated with oils or dirt, which can impede breathability. Wash according to care instructions.
