Regatta Freesdale Hooded Hiking Waterproof Jacket - Blue - XXL

Isotex 30000 refers to the jacket's waterproof and breathable performance rating. It means the fabric can withstand 30,000mm of water pressure and allows 30,000g/m²/24hrs of water vapor to pass through, indicating excellent protection and comfort.

Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle, using a mild detergent. Do not use fabric softener. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on low or hang dry. Avoid dry cleaning.

Yes, the jacket is designed for harsh weather. For very cold conditions, it's recommended to layer appropriate insulating clothing underneath.

No, the hood is grown-on, meaning it is permanently attached to the jacket.

The wire peak provides structure and helps to keep the hood away from your face, directing rain and wind away and maintaining your field of vision.

After washing, you can reapply a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment, available as a spray or wash-in product, to restore its effectiveness.

Yes, there is one inner zipped security pocket, ideal for keeping valuables safe and dry.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and then apply a specific re-proofer suitable for technical outerwear.

Ensure all seams are intact. If damage is present, professional repair may be needed. For minor issues, a seam sealer might offer a temporary fix.

Gently work the adjusters back and forth. If they remain stiff, apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the mechanism.

This can be due to insufficient ventilation or high internal moisture. Ensure the main zip and pocket zips are not left open when not in use, and consider opening the main zip slightly during high exertion if needed. Washing with a technical cleaner can help restore breathability.
