FAQs
What does ISOTEX 15000 mean?
ISOTEX 15000 indicates the fabric's performance rating, meaning it can withstand a hydrostatic head of 15,000mm of water and offers good breathability, typically around 15,000g/m²/24hr.
How do I clean the Regatta Orla Kiely Jacket?
The jacket is machine washable. Use a gentle cycle at 30°C with a mild detergent, and avoid fabric softener or bleach. Tumble dry on low or air dry.
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
Yes, the ISOTEX 15000 rating and taped seams provide effective protection against moderate to heavy rain, keeping you dry.
Can I wear this jacket in warmer weather?
While it is breathable, it is still a waterproof jacket. It's best suited for mild to cool weather where rain or wind is a factor. You can layer it over lighter clothing for cooler days.
How do I know if I need to re-proof the jacket?
If water no longer beads up on the surface and instead soaks into the fabric, it's time to re-apply a DWR treatment.
What is the fit like?
The jacket has a mid-length cut, designed for a comfortable fit over regular clothing. Refer to the brand's sizing chart for specific measurements.
Are there other patterns available?
Yes, this jacket is part of a collection that often features various Orla Kiely patterns and colorways. Please check the product listings for available variants.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer beading water effectively.
The jacket's Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket and apply a specific DWR re-proofing spray or wash-in treatment according to the product's instructions.
Water seems to be leaking through seams.
Ensure the taped seams are intact. If they appear to be peeling or damaged, contact customer support as this may indicate a manufacturing defect or wear and tear.
Jacket feels clammy inside despite being waterproof.
This could be due to reduced breathability. Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can block the micropores. Check the care label and wash if necessary using a technical wash, and ensure it is fully dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

- Washing: Machine washable. Always follow the care label instructions. Typically, wash at 30 degrees Celsius.
