FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The jacket provides excellent windproof and waterproof protection, but it is designed as an outer shell. For very cold conditions, layering with insulating mid-layers is recommended.

How do I determine my size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided, which lists measurements for various UK sizes. It's recommended to measure your chest and waist and compare with the provided garment measurements. Given the tailored fit, consider sizing up if you prefer a looser fit or plan to wear thick layers underneath.

Can I wash this jacket in a washing machine?

Yes, you can machine wash the jacket at 30°C using a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners.

How often should I re-apply the DWR treatment?

Re-application frequency depends on usage and environmental conditions. A good indicator is when water no longer beads on the surface. Typically, this might be after 5-10 washes or when performance noticeably decreases.

What does 'Isotex 15000' mean?

'Isotex 15000' refers to Regatta's waterproof and breathable fabric technology. The '15000' indicates a waterproof rating of 15,000mm (meaning it can withstand a column of water 15,000mm high) and a breathability rating of 15,000g/m²/24hrs (meaning 15,000 grams of water vapor can pass through a square meter of fabric in 24 hours).

Are the seams taped?

Yes, all seams are fully taped to ensure complete waterproofing, preventing water from penetrating through the stitching.

What is the 'grown-on hood' feature?

A 'grown-on hood' means the hood is an integral part of the jacket's construction, permanently attached rather than being removable. This design often provides a more secure and streamlined fit.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is leaking or no longer repelling water.

The DWR finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket and apply a suitable DWR re-proofing treatment according to the product's instructions.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Clean the zipper teeth with a brush and apply a wax-based lubricant or silicone spray specifically designed for zippers.

Breathability seems reduced.

Ensure the jacket is clean and that the inner lining is free from dirt or debris that could block pores. Follow the washing instructions carefully.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
