Regatta Orlea Hooded Waterproof Jacket - Blue - Floral

The Isotex 15000 fabric offers both high waterproofing and breathability, ensuring you stay dry from external rain and internal perspiration.

While the jacket provides good protection from wind and rain, it is primarily designed for moderate conditions. For very cold weather, layering with insulating garments underneath is recommended.

Wash at 30°C with liquid detergent, rinse thoroughly, and tumble dry on low heat. Reapply a DWR finish periodically according to product instructions.

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

It has two lower patch pockets with flaps and snap fastening, plus an internal security pocket for valuables.

The product description mentions a 'plain & printed linings to hood' and the overall pattern is described as 'Floral', suggesting a printed design on the fabric.

This is a treatment applied to the outer fabric that causes water to bead up and roll off, helping to keep the fabric dry and maintain its breathability. This finish needs to be maintained over time.

This is often due to a degraded Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish. Wash the jacket according to care instructions and then re-apply a DWR treatment. Ensure taped seams are intact.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and allow to dry. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant to the teeth.

Adjust the drawcords on the hood to tighten it around your face. Ensure the hood is fully extended and secured if it has additional adjustment points.

This indicates a breathability issue. Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the membrane. Wash the jacket according to instructions and ensure it's fully dry. Consider if external conditions (very high humidity) are exceeding the fabric's breathability capacity.
