FAQs
What does Isotex 15000 mean?
Isotex 15000 refers to Regatta's own waterproof and breathable fabric technology. '15000' indicates the hydrostatic head rating in mm, meaning it can withstand a column of water 15,000mm high before it starts to leak, and the breathability rating in g/m²/24h.
Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold weather?
The jacket provides excellent protection against rain and wind, making it suitable for cold, wet conditions when layered appropriately. However, it is not heavily insulated and is best used as a shell layer over insulating garments for extreme cold.
How do I wash the jacket without damaging its waterproof properties?
Wash on a gentle cycle at 40°C with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry. Re-proofing may be necessary over time.
Can the hood be completely removed?
The product description mentions a 'packaway hood,' which typically means it can be folded and stored within the collar, but not usually removed entirely.
What is the key benefit of the stretch fabric?
The stretch fabric allows for greater freedom of movement, making it more comfortable for active pursuits like hiking and climbing, and it enables easier layering.
What are the main uses for this jacket?
This jacket is designed for outdoor activities such as hiking, climbing, and general wet-weather walking, where waterproof and breathable protection is required.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is leaking water
Ensure all seams are properly taped. Re-apply a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment to the outer fabric as per product instructions. Check for wear and tear on the fabric or seams.
Jacket feels clammy or less breathable
Clean the jacket thoroughly with a mild detergent to remove dirt and oils that can clog the fabric's pores. Ensure the inner lining is not wet from sweat.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Gently clean the zipper with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Dry thoroughly and apply a wax-based lubricant or silicone spray specifically designed for zippers.
Hood adjustment is not secure
Check that the toggles and drawcords are functioning correctly. Ensure they are not tangled or damaged. If damaged, consider professional repair.
