FAQs
What makes this jacket waterproof?
The jacket uses Regatta's Isotex 8000 fabric, which is engineered to be waterproof and breathable. It also features taped seams and a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish for enhanced protection.
Is the insulation ethically sourced?
Yes, the jacket uses feather-free, synthetic down padding, meaning it is vegan-friendly and ethically sourced, avoiding animal products.
Can I wear this in mild weather?
While breathable, the jacket features heavyweight fill designed for significant warmth. It is best suited for cold or winter conditions and may be too warm for mild or transitional weather.
How do I reapply the water-repellent finish?
You can use a wash-in re-proofer or a spray-on DWR treatment. Follow the specific product's instructions carefully, usually involving washing the garment and then applying the treatment before drying.
What does 'Isotex 8000' mean?
Isotex 8000 refers to Regatta's technical fabric that provides waterproof and breathable performance, with a hydrostatic head (waterproof rating) of 8000mm and a breathability rating of 8000g/m²/24hrs.
Is the hood adjustable?
The product description indicates it is hooded, but specific adjustability features (like drawcords) are not detailed. It typically offers standard hood coverage.
What type of pockets does it have?
The jacket has exterior side pockets for convenient storage of essentials.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof
Ensure the DWR finish is intact. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and consider re-applying a DWR treatment or wash-in waterproofing agent.
Jacket feels less warm than before
The insulation may have become compressed or lost loft. Follow the care instructions for drying, potentially using a tumble dryer on a low heat with dryer balls to help restore fluffiness.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Clean the zipper teeth gently with a damp cloth and a small brush. Apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or paraffin wax) to the teeth to help it glide smoothly.
