FAQs
What does Isotex stretch 15000 mean?
Isotex stretch 15000 refers to Regatta's waterproof and breathable fabric technology. '15000' indicates a hydrostatic head rating of 15,000mm, meaning it can withstand water pressure equivalent to a 15-meter column of water. 'Stretch' signifies that the fabric has elastic properties for added comfort and movement.
How do I know if I need to re-waterproof the jacket?
If water no longer beads up on the surface of the fabric and instead soaks in, it's time to re-apply a DWR treatment.
Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?
Yes, the jacket provides a waterproof and windproof shell. For cold weather, layer appropriate insulating clothing underneath, such as fleece or down, to achieve desired warmth.
Is the hood adjustable?
Yes, the technical hood is designed to be adjustable, allowing you to achieve a secure and protective fit.
What is the benefit of taped seams?
Taped seams are strips of waterproof tape applied to the inside of the jacket's seams. They prevent water from penetrating through the stitch holes, ensuring full waterproofing.
How should I store the jacket when not in use?
Store the jacket in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing it tightly for long periods, which can damage the fabric's performance over time. Hanging is ideal.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels clammy inside
Ensure inner layers are not trapping moisture. Check that the jacket's vents (if any) are open. The fabric is breathable, but extreme exertion can still produce significant moisture.
Water is seeping through seams
Verify that the taped seams are intact. If damage is suspected, contact customer support. Over time, constant abrasion can affect seam tape.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to move
Clean the zipper teeth with a brush and water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper track. Avoid forcing the zipper.
