Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Frankie Waterproof Jacket is designed for adult males seeking reliable protection in mixed weather conditions, offering a blend of waterproof functionality and a stylish canvas look. Its key benefit lies in its Isotex 15000 fabric, providing excellent waterproofing and breathability. A potential consideration is that the jacket's canvas look might be perceived as heavier than traditional technical outerwear.

FAQs
What does Isotex 15000 mean?
Isotex 15000 refers to Regatta's performance fabric technology. '15000' indicates the hydrostatic head rating, meaning the fabric can withstand 15,000 millimeters of water pressure before leaking. It also signifies a breathability rating of 15,000 g/m²/24 hours, allowing for good vapor transfer.
How do I clean the Regatta Frankie Jacket?
Machine wash at 30°C with a non-biological detergent and similar colours. Avoid bleach, ironing, and dry cleaning. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry.
Can I use fabric softener with this jacket?
No, fabric softener should not be used as it can degrade the waterproof and breathable properties of the fabric.
How do I maintain the jacket's water repellency?
To maintain water repellency, clean the jacket regularly and consider applying a spray-on or wash-in re-proofer after several washes, especially if water no longer beads on the surface.
What is the fit like for the Regatta Frankie Jacket?
The jacket is designed for a standard adult male fit, with adjustable features at the hem and cuffs for a customizable fit. It is intended to be practical for layering over other clothing.
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
Yes, the Isotex 15000 fabric with taped seams and a DWR finish provides excellent protection against heavy rain.
What materials is the jacket made from?
The outer fabric is 100% polyester with a cotton canvas look, and the lining is 100% polyester taffeta.
Troubleshooting
Jacket does not feel completely waterproof.
Ensure all seams are properly taped and that the DWR finish is still effective. Reapply a DWR treatment if necessary, following product instructions. Check that all zippers are fully closed.
Water seems to be penetrating the fabric.
The DWR finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket thoroughly and apply a suitable re-proofer spray or wash-in treatment designed for waterproof outerwear.
Jacket feels clammy or less breathable.
Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the fabric's pores. Make sure you are wearing appropriate base layers that wick moisture away from the body. Check for any blockages in ventilation areas if applicable.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to use.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Dry thoroughly and then lubricate with a silicone-based lubricant or a graphite pencil rubbed along the teeth.
