Full details
The Regatta Calderdale Hiking Waterproof Jacket is designed for adult males seeking reliable protection against wet weather during outdoor activities. Its key benefit is the Isotex 15000 waterproof and breathable fabric with taped seams, ensuring you stay dry and comfortable. A potential caveat is that while it offers protection, it's best suited for moderate to heavy rain and wind, rather than extreme conditions. This jacket summarizes Regatta's commitment to durable outdoor wear, featuring a concealed hood, multiple zip pockets for secure storage, and adjustable elements for a personalized fit.

FAQs
What is Isotex 15000?
Isotex 15000 is Regatta's proprietary waterproof and breathable fabric technology. The '15000' rating indicates its performance level: 15,000mm hydrostatic head for waterproofness and 15,000 g/m²/24hrs for breathability.
How do I clean the jacket?
Wash the jacket separately on a gentle cycle with a technical wash detergent, closing all zippers. Do not use bleach or fabric softener. Tumble dry on low or air dry. Re-proof with a DWR treatment periodically.
Can this jacket be worn in very cold weather?
The jacket is primarily designed for waterproofing and windproofing. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer a warm insulating mid-layer (like a fleece or down jacket) underneath.
What is the benefit of taped seams?
Taped seams are strips of waterproof tape applied over the stitches on the inside of the jacket. They prevent water from leaking through the tiny holes created by the sewing needle, ensuring complete waterproof protection.
Is the hood detachable?
No, the hood is concealed and integrated into the jacket design, but it can be adjusted using the integrated drawcords.
What kind of activities is this jacket best suited for?
It is ideal for hill walking, hiking trails, and general everyday use in wet or windy conditions. Its waterproof and breathable features make it suitable for moderate outdoor activities.
How do I maintain the water repellency?
To maintain water repellency, clean the jacket regularly and re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment after washing or when water stops beading on the surface.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is leaking or no longer waterproof.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket thoroughly and re-apply a suitable DWR treatment following product instructions. Check that all seams are intact.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or salt. Lubricate the zipper with a graphite pencil or a wax-based zipper lubricant.
Jacket feels clammy or less breathable.
Ensure the jacket is clean. Wash according to care instructions, using a specific technical wash. Check that the inner lining is not preventing air circulation.
Hood adjustment is not effective.
Ensure the drawcords are fully extended and then tightened appropriately. Check for any obstructions in the drawcord channels.
