FAQs
Is the Regatta Bayletta II jacket fully waterproof?
Yes, it features Isotex 10000/15000 fabric with taped seams and a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, providing reliable and complete waterproof protection against rain.
Can I wear this jacket in cold winter weather?
The jacket is primarily designed for waterproofing and breathability, not insulation. For cold winter weather, it is recommended to layer appropriately with insulating garments underneath.
How do I clean my Bayletta II jacket?
Close all fastenings, then machine wash cold on a gentle cycle using a technical cleaner for waterproof fabrics. Avoid standard detergents and fabric softeners. Line dry or tumble dry on low if allowed by the care label.
Does this jacket have pockets for my belongings?
Yes, it features two lower pockets with snap fastenings for general items and an internal security pocket, ideal for keeping valuables safe and dry.
What does 'Isotex 10000/15000' mean?
'Isotex 10000/15000' refers to the fabric's waterproof and breathable ratings. It means the fabric can withstand 10,000 to 15,000mm of water pressure over a 24-hour period before water penetrates, and it allows 10,000 to 15,000 grams of water vapor to pass through per square meter in 24 hours, indicating its breathability.
Is the hood removable?
No, the hood is 'grown-on,' meaning it is an integrated part of the jacket's design and cannot be detached. However, it is adjustable with drawcords.
What is 'Durable Water Repellent (DWR)'?
DWR is a treatment applied to the fabric's outer surface that causes water to bead up and roll off, preventing the fabric from becoming saturated. It's crucial for maintaining the jacket's waterproof and breathable performance.
Troubleshooting
Water is soaking into the fabric instead of beading off.
This indicates that the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish needs to be restored. Wash the jacket using a technical cleaner and then apply a DWR re-proofing treatment (either a wash-in product or a spray-on treatment) specifically designed for waterproof breathable fabrics. Tumble drying on a low heat (if care label allows) can sometimes reactivate the existing DWR.
Jacket feels damp or clammy inside.
Ensure all layers beneath the jacket are breathable to allow moisture to escape. If the external DWR is failing, the outer fabric can 'wet out,' reducing breathability. Restore the DWR as described above. Also, ensure all zippers and fastenings are properly closed to prevent water ingress.
Zipper is sticking or difficult to move.
Clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and warm water to remove any dirt or debris. Once dry, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (e.g., silicone-based lubricant or specialized zipper wax) designed for outdoor gear to the teeth and slider.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
Your Regatta Bayletta II jacket requires minimal setup. Simply unpack it and adjust the various features to achieve your desired fit:
- Hood Adjustment: Use the drawcords on the grown-on hood to tighten or loosen it around your head for optimal coverage and visibility.
- Cuff Adjustment: Utilize the hook & loop fastenings on the cuffs to secure them snugly around your wrists, preventing water and wind entry.
- Hem Adjustment: Pull the drawcord at the hem to cinch the bottom of the jacket, customizing the fit and blocking drafts.
Compatibility
This jacket is designed for adult women. Its regular fit allows for comfortable layering underneath, making it compatible with various base and mid-layers depending on the temperature. It pairs well with casual clothing for urban environments or activewear for light outdoor activities.
Care Instructions
Proper care will prolong the life and maintain the performance of your waterproof jacket:
- Check Label: Always refer to the care label inside the jacket for specific washing instructions.
- Preparation: Before washing, close all zippers, snap fastenings, and hook & loop tabs.
- Washing: Machine wash cold (typically 30°C or 86°F) on a gentle cycle. Use a technical cleaner specifically designed for waterproof breathable fabrics (e.g., Nikwax Tech Wash or Grangers Performance Wash). Avoid standard detergents, fabric softeners, and bleach, as these can damage the waterproof membrane and DWR finish.
- Rinsing: Ensure the jacket is thoroughly rinsed to remove all detergent residues.
- Drying: Line dry or tumble dry on a low heat setting if recommended by the care label. High heat can damage the fabric and waterproof coating. Do not iron.
- Re-proofing DWR: Over time, the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may wear off, causing water to soak into the outer fabric instead of beading up. To restore DWR, wash the jacket with a DWR-restoring product (wash-in or spray-on, following product instructions) or tumble dry on low heat after washing to reactivate the existing DWR if the care label allows.
