The Regatta Oklarna Waterproof Jacket is a high-performance outer layer designed for adult men who require reliable protection during outdoor activities in harsh weather. Utilizing Isotex 30000 fabric technology, it offers an exceptional balance of waterproofing and breathability, though it is specifically engineered for active performance and may feel more technical than standard casual rain gear.

FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
Yes, the Isotex 30000 technology is specifically engineered for high-performance waterproofing in challenging weather conditions.
Can I put this jacket in the dryer?
Yes, a low-heat tumble dry cycle is recommended as it helps maintain and reactivate the durable water repellent (DWR) finish.
Does the hood detach?
No, the jacket features a grown-on hood, which helps minimize weight and improves waterproofing by removing unnecessary seams.
How do I choose the right size?
The jacket follows standard sizing. If you plan to wear thick layers underneath, you may want to consider your layering requirements before choosing a size.
What is the difference between ripstop and stretch fabric?
Ripstop fabric is designed to be highly resistant to tearing, while the stretch component allows for improved mobility during active pursuits.
Troubleshooting
Water is soaking into the fabric instead of beading off
The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the jacket with a technical cleaner and tumble dry on low to reactivate, or apply a DWR spray treatment.
Feeling damp inside the jacket
Check your layering system. Ensure you are not overheating, as the jacket is breathable but functions best when your base layers effectively wick sweat away from your body.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your jacket continues to perform at its best, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Adjust the cuff fasteners and hood toggles before heading out to achieve the desired seal against the wind.
- Layering: Wear a moisture-wicking base layer and a thermal mid-layer underneath for maximum comfort in cold temperatures.
- Cleaning: Wash in cold water using a technical gear cleaner. Avoid using standard biological detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR coating.
- Reactivation: Periodically tumble dry on a low heat setting to help reactivate the water-repellent finish, or use a technical re-proofer spray if water no longer beads on the outer surface.
