FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The Regatta Oakhowe Jacket provides excellent protection against wind and rain. For very cold weather, layering with insulating base and mid-layers is recommended to achieve optimal warmth.
How do I clean the jacket to maintain its waterproofing?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 40°C with a liquid technical detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Rinse twice and tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Reapply water-repellent treatment as needed.
What does 'Isotex 15000' mean?
Isotex 15000 is a waterproof and breathable membrane technology. The '15000' rating indicates it can withstand 15,000mm of water pressure in a 24-hour period and offers good breathability.
Can I use regular laundry detergent?
No, it is not recommended to use regular laundry detergent as it can damage the waterproof and breathable properties of the fabric. Use a specialized technical wash designed for outdoor gear.
What is the warranty period for this jacket?
Please refer to the product packaging or the retailer's website for specific warranty information, as this can vary.
How do I reattach the detachable hood?
Align the hood's zipper with the corresponding zipper inside the jacket's collar and slide them together until fully connected. Ensure it is securely fastened.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is leaking water
Ensure all seams are properly taped and check for any damage. Reapply a water-repellent finish if the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating has worn off.
Jacket feels clammy inside
This could indicate reduced breathability. Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the pores. Check that the pit zips (if applicable) are open for ventilation. Consider washing with a specialized technical wash.
Zipper is difficult to use
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and mild soap. Lubricate with a silicone-based lubricant or a graphite pencil.
Hood is not staying in place
Ensure the hood is securely attached and adjusted using the drawcords for a snug fit. Check that the attachment zipper is fully closed.
