FAQs
What does Isotex 10000 mean?
Isotex 10000 indicates that the fabric is waterproof to a hydrostatic head of 10000mm and breathable to 10000g/m²/24hrs, offering good protection against rain and moderate breathability.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
This jacket provides waterproof and windproof protection, which is essential in cold weather. However, it is a shell layer and does not include insulation. For cold conditions, layering with warm mid-layers like fleece is recommended.
How do I maintain the waterproof finish?
After washing according to the care instructions, you can reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish using a spray or wash-in product designed for waterproof apparel. Follow the product instructions for application.
Can I wear this jacket for sports like running?
The jacket offers good breathability for moderate activities. For high-intensity activities like running, you might experience some internal moisture build-up. Consider opening the main zip for ventilation or choosing a jacket with a higher breathability rating if this is your primary use.
How many pockets does the jacket have?
The jacket features one internal pocket and two side zip pockets.
What is the difference between this and other Regatta jackets?
This specific model, the Hamara IV, uses Isotex 10000 technology and features a specific design with a grown-on hood and adjustable hem. Other Regatta jackets may have different fabric technologies, features, or fits.
Is the hood detachable?
No, the hood is 'grown-on', meaning it is permanently attached to the jacket.
Troubleshooting
Jacket appears to be leaking after some use.
Ensure all seams are properly taped and check if the DWR finish needs reapplication. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and consider a DWR spray or wash-in treatment.
Hood is not providing adequate coverage.
Adjust the toggle on the hood and ensure the wired peak is positioned correctly to shield your face. Check that the hood is fully zipped up.
Internal moisture build-up during activity.
While the jacket is breathable, intense activity can exceed its rating. Try wearing lighter base layers and opening the main zip slightly for ventilation.
