FAQs
What does 'Isotex 15000' mean?
Isotex 15000 indicates that the fabric provides a hydrostatic head of 15,000mm (waterproof rating) and has a breathability rating of 15,000g/m²/24hrs (allowing 15,000g of moisture vapor to pass through per square meter in 24 hours).
How should I clean the jacket to maintain its waterproofness?
Machine wash at 30°C with similar colors using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. After washing and air drying, a re-proofing treatment can be applied to restore water repellency.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The jacket is designed for waterproofness and breathability. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer insulating clothing underneath, such as a fleece or insulated jacket, as the jacket itself provides minimal insulation.
Can I tumble dry the jacket?
No, the jacket should not be tumble dried. It should be air dried away from direct heat sources. Tumble drying can damage the waterproof and breathable membranes.
What activities is this jacket best suited for?
It is ideal for hiking, climbing, walking, and other outdoor activities where protection from rain and wind is needed, while maintaining comfort through breathability and freedom of movement.
How do I store the packaway hood?
The hood is typically designed to be folded and zipped away into a dedicated compartment, usually located around the collar of the jacket.
Does the jacket have adjustable cuffs?
While not explicitly stated for this specific variant, Regatta jackets often feature adjustable cuffs (e.g., with Velcro) to create a secure seal against wind and rain. Please check the product's specific details for confirmation.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer fully waterproof.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating may have worn off. Clean the jacket thoroughly and apply a suitable re-proofing spray or wash-in treatment according to the product's instructions.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and warm water. Apply a wax-based lubricant (like a candle or specialized zipper lubricant) to the teeth.
Jacket feels clammy inside despite being waterproof.
Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can impede breathability. Check that vents (if any) are open. For very high exertion, consider layering with moisture-wicking base layers.
Hood is not staying in place.
Adjust the drawcords around the hood opening and at the back (if present) to achieve a snugger fit. Ensure the hood is fully extended from its packaway compartment.
