FAQs
What is Isotex 15000?
Isotex 15000 is a waterproof, breathable and windproof technology that keeps you dry and comfortable outdoors. The '15000' indicates it can withstand a 15000mm hydrostatic head of water and has a breathability rating of 15000g/m²/24hrs.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The jacket provides excellent protection against wind and rain but is not heavily insulated. For very cold conditions, it is recommended to layer it over insulating mid-layers like fleece or down.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the specific size guide provided for the Regatta Birchdale II jacket. Measure your chest, waist, and hip circumference and compare it to the chart. The tailored fit means precise measurement is important.
Can I wash this jacket in a washing machine?
Yes, you can machine wash the jacket at 40°C with similar colours. Avoid using bleach and tumble dry on a low heat setting.
What does 'Durable Water Repellent Finish' mean?
This is a coating applied to the outer fabric that causes water to bead up and roll off, preventing the fabric from becoming saturated and maintaining its breathability and comfort.
Are there other colours available?
This guide focuses on the Parchment colourway. Please check the product listings for other available colour options and sizes.
Is the hood adjustable?
Yes, the jacket features a grown-on technical hood with a toggle adjuster, allowing you to customize the fit and seal out wind and rain.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof
Re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish and ensure all care instructions have been followed. Check that seams are taped and intact.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a mild soap. Allow to dry completely and try a graphite pencil rubbed along the teeth for lubrication.
Fit is too tight or too loose
Consult the size guide and measure carefully before purchasing. Adjust the shockcord hem and hood toggles for a more customized fit.
Breathability seems reduced
Ensure the garment is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the membrane pores. Follow the washing instructions carefully.
