Regatta Bayletta II Waterproof Jacket - Blue - 20

Isotex 10000 refers to Regatta's waterproof and breathable fabric technology. '10000' indicates its hydrostatic head rating of 10,000mm, meaning it can withstand 10,000mm of water before it starts to leak, providing excellent waterproof protection. It also signifies a good level of breathability, allowing internal moisture to escape.

Yes, the jacket features 'taped seams' which means that a waterproof tape has been applied over all the stitching lines on the inside of the jacket. This prevents water from seeping through the tiny holes created by the sewing needle, ensuring complete waterproofing.

Always check the care label inside your jacket first. Generally, it's recommended to machine wash on a gentle cycle in cold water using a technical wash for waterproof fabrics. Avoid fabric softeners and harsh detergents. Air dry your jacket, or tumble dry on a very low heat if the label permits, to protect the waterproof membrane and DWR finish.

With its Isotex 10000 fabric and taped seams, the Bayletta II is designed for complete waterproofing, making it suitable for significant and heavy rain. While styled for everyday wear, its technical specifications ensure robust protection against wet weather.

The taffeta lining serves multiple purposes: it provides a smooth and soft feel against your skin, enhances comfort, and allows for easy layering over other clothing without snagging, contributing to overall wearability.

If water no longer beads up on the fabric surface, you can restore its Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish. First, wash the jacket thoroughly as per care instructions. Then, apply a suitable spray-on or wash-in DWR re-proofing product specifically designed for waterproof breathable fabrics, following the product's instructions.

This indicates the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish might have worn off. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and then apply a suitable DWR re-proofing treatment designed for waterproof breathable fabrics.

This often means the breathability is compromised, or you are overheating. Ensure the jacket is clean (dirt/oils can block pores). If layering, try removing a layer or adjusting the cuffs for better ventilation. Make sure you are not wearing cotton next to your skin, which can absorb moisture and make you feel damp.

For Velcro cuffs, clean any lint or debris from the hooks and loops to restore grip. For drawstrings or toggles on the hood, check for any damage or obstructions and ensure they are threaded correctly.

Clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and apply a zipper lubricant or a small amount of silicone spray. Ensure the fabric lining isn't getting caught in the zipper.
