FAQs
What does "Isotex 15000" mean?
Isotex 15000 is Regatta's own waterproof and breathable performance fabric technology. The '15000' indicates a hydrostatic head rating of 15,000mm (waterproofness) and a breathability rating of 15,000g/m²/24hrs.
Can this jacket be worn in very cold weather?
The jacket provides waterproof and windproof protection, but it has limited insulation. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer insulating clothing like fleece or down jackets underneath.
How do I wash and care for the jacket?
Machine wash at 30°C or 40°C on a gentle cycle with liquid detergent. Do not use fabric softener. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on a low heat. Re-apply DWR periodically.
What is the purpose of the DWR finish?
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish causes water to bead up and roll off the surface of the fabric, helping to maintain the garment's breathability and prevent it from becoming saturated.
Are the seams taped for waterproofing?
Yes, the jacket features taped seams, which means all the stitching lines are sealed to ensure complete waterproof protection.
What kind of pockets does the jacket have?
It has two lower patch pockets with flaps for accessible storage and an internal security pocket for valuables.
Is the hood adjustable?
Yes, the grown-on hood features drawcords, allowing you to adjust the fit for better protection against wind and rain.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer shedding water effectively.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Re-apply a suitable DWR treatment following the product's instructions. Ensure the jacket is clean before application.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Clean the zipper teeth gently with a soft brush and mild soap. Lubricate the zipper with graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant.
Internal lining feels sticky or damaged.
Avoid using fabric softener during washing, as it can degrade synthetic linings. If damage is significant, professional repair may be needed.
Hood drawcords are tangled.
Gently untangle the drawcords. If they are difficult to adjust, check for any obstructions within the eyelets.
