FAQs

What does ISOLITE 15000 mean?

ISOLITE 15000 refers to Regatta's specific fabric technology, indicating a hydrostatic head rating of 15000mm, which signifies a high level of waterproofing. It also implies breathability to manage moisture from within.

Can this jacket be worn in cold weather?

The jacket is primarily designed for rain protection. While it can be layered over warmer clothing, its lightweight construction means it offers minimal insulation on its own. It is best suited for mild to cool, wet conditions.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild liquid detergent. Do not use fabric softener or bleach. Rinse thoroughly and air dry. Re-proofing is recommended after washing to maintain performance.

Is the hood adjustable?

The jacket features a grown-on hood, meaning it is attached and not designed to be removed. It is not explicitly stated as adjustable in terms of drawcords for cinching.

What is the warranty period for this jacket?

Specific warranty information is not provided in the product details. Please refer to the retailer or Regatta's official website for warranty terms and conditions.

What material is the jacket made of?

The primary material for this specific blue variant is Nylon, with ISOLITE 15000 fabric technology.

Can this jacket be used for high-intensity activities?

The jacket is breathable and lightweight, making it suitable for moderate activity. For very strenuous activities where maximum ventilation is required, additional features like pit zips might be beneficial, which are not detailed for this model.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer waterproof

Ensure the jacket has been re-proofed using a suitable waterproofing treatment. Clean the jacket according to care instructions, as dirt and oils can impede performance.

Zipper is difficult to move

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap, then try again. Lubricate with a silicone-based lubricant if necessary.

Jacket feels clammy inside

This can occur if the jacket is working to breathe out moisture. Ensure the ventilation features (if any) are open. If the clamminess persists, the fabric's breathability may be reduced due to dirt; clean the jacket as per care instructions.

Jacket does not pack easily into its pocket

Ensure the jacket is completely dry before attempting to pack it. Fold or scrunch it loosely to fit into the pocket. Some trial and error may be needed to find the most efficient packing method.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This jacket requires no setup; simply unpack it and wear. Ensure the zipper is fully closed for maximum water protection.

Compatibility: The jacket is designed for adult women and is suitable for a range of outdoor activities and everyday wear. It layers well over other clothing, but avoid excessively bulky layers underneath if you plan to pack it away, as this may make it more difficult to fit into its pocket.

Care: To maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable properties:

  1. Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a technical fabric wash or mild liquid detergent.
  2. Do not use fabric softener or bleach, as these can damage the fabric's performance.
  3. Rinse thoroughly.
  4. Re-proof with a waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment specifically designed for outdoor apparel.
  5. Air dry away from direct heat sources.
