FAQs
What is the waterproof rating of this jacket?
The jacket has a waterproof rating of 10000mm, meaning it can withstand significant water pressure before leaking.
How breathable is the fabric?
The fabric offers a breathability rating of 10000g/m²/24hrs, allowing moisture vapor to escape from the inside.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
This jacket is primarily designed for waterproofing and windproofing. For cold weather, it is recommended to layer insulating clothing underneath.
How do I wash the jacket?
Wash inside out using a special liquid detergent for waterproof clothing. Do not use bleach or fabric softener. Rinse twice and tumble dry on low heat or iron on a low setting.
What does 'Isotex 10000' mean?
Isotex 10000 is Regatta's waterproof, breathable, and windproof technology. The '10000' refers to the hydrostatic head rating (waterproofness) and the breathability rating.
Does the hood have an adjustment?
Yes, the grown-on technical hood features a toggle adjuster and a wired peak for customized fit and protection.
What is the purpose of the taped seams?
Taped seams are essential for waterproofing as they seal the stitch lines, preventing water from penetrating through the needle holes.
Troubleshooting
Jacket leaks during heavy rain.
Ensure all zippers are fully closed and the hood/hem toggles are tightened. Check if the DWR finish needs re-application or if seams require reproofing.
Jacket feels clammy or wet inside during activity.
This could indicate the breathability is being overwhelmed. Ensure inner layers are moisture-wicking. Check that ventilation (if any) is open and that the DWR finish is functioning correctly to allow moisture vapor to escape.
Jacket surface remains wet after exposure to rain.
The DWR finish may need to be reactivated by tumble drying on low heat or ironing on a low setting. If ineffective, consider applying a new DWR treatment.
