Regatta Brianka Longline Hooded Waterproof Jacket - Blue

Isotex 15000 refers to Regatta's waterproof and breathable fabric technology. The '15000' rating indicates a hydrostatic head of 15,000mm (waterproofness) and a breathability of 15,000g/m²/24 hours, meaning it can withstand significant water pressure and allows a good amount of moisture vapor to escape.

Yes, the Isotex 15000 fabric with taped seams provides full waterproof protection and is designed to handle rainy conditions effectively for everyday use.

While the jacket is breathable, its primary function is waterproofing. It may become warm in higher temperatures, especially during physical activity. It's best suited for mild to cool, wet weather.

The DWR finish can diminish over time with washing and wear. To maintain it, wash the jacket according to the care instructions and consider using a Nikwax wash-in or spray-on waterproofing product to reapply the DWR treatment when needed.

The jacket features a longline shape, offering extended coverage beyond standard jacket lengths. Specific measurements would depend on the size.

The pockets are zipped, which helps protect contents from light rain and splashes. However, they are not typically considered fully submersible waterproof pockets.

The main jacket fabric is lightweight at 110 gsm. The taffeta lining is 60 gsm.

Ensure all zippers are fully closed. Check if the taped seams are intact. Re-evaluate care instructions to ensure washing and DWR maintenance are being followed correctly. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may eventually saturate the outer fabric, though the inner membrane should still keep you dry.

This can sometimes occur if the inner membrane is blocked by dirt or detergent residue. Ensure the jacket is washed according to care instructions using minimal, mild detergent. Ensure the DWR finish is still active; reapplication may be necessary if water no longer beads on the surface.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax if necessary.
