FAQs
Is the hood adjustable?
The jacket features a grown-on hood designed for a secure fit, but it does not include extra cinch cords for the hood itself.
Can I wash this jacket in a machine?
Yes, but use a mild, technical-friendly detergent on a gentle cycle and avoid fabric softeners, which can damage the membrane.
What is the primary difference between standard waterproof and Isotex 30000?
Isotex 30000 is a high-performance membrane that offers significantly higher levels of water resistance and moisture-vapor transmission compared to basic waterproof coatings.
Is this jacket windproof?
Yes, the construction of the fabric combined with the taped seams provides a windproof barrier.
Does it have internal pockets?
The design focuses on two external side pockets for secure storage of your essentials.
Troubleshooting
Water begins soaking into the outer fabric
The DWR coating has likely worn off; clean the jacket and apply a DWR replenishment spray.
Feeling damp inside the jacket despite no rain entry
Moisture may be due to sweat; ensure you are layering appropriately with moisture-wicking base layers to help the breathability system function.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to close
Use a soft brush to remove dirt from the zipper teeth and ensure the fabric is not caught in the slide.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Regatta Oklarna, keep the following tips in mind:
- Storage: Always hang the jacket to dry completely after use in wet conditions to prevent mold or moisture buildup inside the lining.
- Cleaning: Use specialized technical outerwear detergents rather than standard laundry soaps to avoid clogging the breathable pores of the fabric.
- Re-treating: If you notice water no longer beads on the surface of the fabric, apply a DWR spray treatment to restore the water-repellent performance.
- Zipper Care: Keep the full zip fastening clean of dirt and debris to ensure smooth operation.
