FAQs
What does the Isotex technology do?
Isotex is Regatta's own waterproof, breathable and windproof fabric technology. It ensures you stay dry and comfortable in challenging weather conditions.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
This jacket is designed for waterproofing and windproofing. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer it over insulating mid-layers such as fleece or down jackets.
Can I machine wash the jacket?
Yes, you can machine wash the jacket at 40°C using a non-biological detergent. Avoid using bleach, fabric softeners, and do not iron or dry clean.
How do I reapply the water repellent finish?
You can use a spray-on or wash-in re-proofer product specifically designed for waterproof outdoor gear. Follow the instructions provided with the re-proofer for best results, often involving a warm tumble dry to activate the treatment.
What is the breathability rating of the fabric?
The fabric has a breathability rating of 30000g/m²/24hrs, indicating good performance in allowing moisture vapor to escape.
Does the hood offer adjustable fit?
Yes, the grown-on hood features a toggle adjuster and a wired peak, allowing you to customize the fit around your face and improve visibility.
How many pockets does the jacket have?
The jacket has three zipped pockets: one chest pocket and two side pockets, providing secure storage for your essentials.
Troubleshooting
Water is seeping through seams.
Ensure the garment has been washed and reproofed according to care instructions. Over time, the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish can wear off. Reapplication of a DWR treatment should restore water repellency.
Jacket feels clammy or less breathable.
Check that the garment is clean. Dirt and residue can clog the membrane pores, reducing breathability. Wash according to care instructions. Ensure you are not overheating; consider removing layers if necessary.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a little water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax specifically designed for zippers to help them glide smoothly.
