FAQs
Is the Regatta Bayletta II jacket suitable for heavy rain?
Yes, with an Isotex 10000 waterproof rating and taped seams, the Bayletta II is designed to offer reliable protection in heavy rain for everyday use and light outdoor activities. The DWR finish further enhances its water-shedding capabilities.
Can I wear this jacket in colder weather?
The Bayletta II is a shell jacket, providing waterproof and windproof protection but no insulation. For colder weather, we recommend layering it over appropriate mid-layers (e.g., a fleece or thermal top) to provide warmth while retaining its protective outer shell functionality.
How do I maintain the waterproof performance of my jacket?
Regular cleaning with a technical cleaner designed for waterproof garments and occasional re-application of a DWR treatment (spray-on or wash-in) will help maintain its waterproof and breathable properties. Avoid conventional detergents and fabric softeners.
Does this jacket have pockets for essentials?
Yes, the Bayletta II features two lower pockets with stylish snap fastenings for accessible storage and an internal security pocket, ideal for keeping valuables like a phone or wallet safe and dry.
What does 'Isotex 10000' mean?
'Isotex 10000' refers to Regatta's waterproof and breathable fabric technology. The '10000' indicates a hydrostatic head of 10,000mm, meaning it can withstand 10,000mm of water before it begins to leak, ensuring excellent waterproof protection. It also signifies a good level of breathability.
Troubleshooting
Water no longer beads on the jacket surface; fabric appears to be 'wetting out'.
This indicates the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish is no longer effective. Wash the jacket with a technical cleaning product for waterproof garments and then either tumble dry on a low setting (if permitted by the care label) to reactivate the DWR, or apply a spray-on or wash-in DWR re-proofer product following its instructions.
Jacket feels damp or clammy inside, even though it's raining outside.
First, ensure all zippers are fully closed. This could be due to condensation if the jacket's breathability is overwhelmed by high activity levels or if the DWR is failing, causing the outer fabric to saturate and reduce breathability. Address DWR failure as described above. Also, consider the layers you are wearing; excessive non-breathable layers underneath can trap moisture.
The jacket feels stiff or less pliable after washing.
Ensure you are using a technical cleaner specifically designed for waterproof clothing and avoiding fabric softeners or harsh detergents. Rinse the jacket thoroughly after washing to remove all detergent residue. Air drying completely on a hanger should help restore its natural drape.

Compatibility

Care Instructions
Proper care will maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable performance:
- Washing: Always check the care label inside the jacket for specific instructions. Generally, machine wash cold (around 30°C) on a gentle cycle. Use a technical wash designed for waterproof garments, as standard detergents can degrade the DWR finish and waterproof membrane.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry unless specifically stated on the care label, and if so, use a low heat setting. Air dry the jacket on a hanger away from direct heat. Tumble drying on low heat can sometimes reactivate the DWR finish.
- Avoid: Do not use fabric softeners, bleach, or strong detergents, as these can clog the fabric pores and strip the DWR coating.
- Re-proofing: Over time, the DWR finish may wear off. If water no longer beads on the surface, you can re-apply a DWR treatment (spray-on or wash-in) specifically designed for waterproof outerwear.
