FAQs
What does 'Isolite 15000' mean?
'Isolite 15000' refers to Regatta's own waterproof and breathable fabric technology. The '15000' typically indicates a hydrostatic head rating of 15,000mm, signifying its high level of waterproofness, and a breathability rating, often measured in g/m²/24hrs.
How do I clean the jacket?
The jacket can be machine washed at 30°C on a gentle cycle with similar colours. Ensure all zippers are closed before washing. Do not bleach, tumble dry, iron, or dry clean.
Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?
The jacket is designed primarily for waterproofing and wind protection. While it is lightweight, you can layer it over warmer clothing like a fleece or insulated mid-layer for added warmth in colder conditions.
How does the packaway feature work?
The jacket can be folded down and packed into its own left pocket. This transforms the jacket into a compact bumbag or pouch, making it easy to carry when not in use.
Are the seams really waterproof?
Yes, the jacket features sealed seams, meaning they are taped to provide complete waterproof protection and prevent any water from leaking through the stitching.
What is the purpose of the mesh lining?
The mesh lining enhances comfort by providing a breathable layer against your skin and can help to improve air circulation within the jacket.
Does this jacket have a removable hood?
No, this jacket features a fixed hood with adjusters, meaning it is permanently attached and cannot be removed.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer repelling water effectively.
The durable water-repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Re-apply a suitable DWR treatment following the manufacturer's instructions. Ensure the jacket is clean before treatment.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a little soap. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Lubricate with a graphite pencil or a wax-based product if necessary.
Jacket feels damp inside despite being waterproof.
This could be due to inadequate breathability if worn during very high-intensity activity in humid conditions, or if the garment's breathable membrane is blocked by dirt. Ensure the jacket is clean and that the care instructions for maintaining breathability are followed.
Jacket does not pack into its pocket easily.
Ensure the jacket is completely dry and as flat as possible before attempting to fold it into its designated pocket. Refer to online guides or videos for the recommended folding technique.
