Isotex 30000 refers to Regatta's proprietary waterproof and breathable fabric technology. The '30000' rating indicates a very high level of waterproofing and breathability, meaning it can withstand 30,000mm of water pressure and allows 30,000g/m²/24 hours of water vapor to pass through.
This jacket is primarily designed for waterproof and windproof protection. For very cold weather, you will need to layer appropriate insulating garments underneath, such as fleece or down jackets.
Yes, you can machine wash the jacket on a gentle cycle at 40°C with a mild liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach, and rinse twice.
You should re-apply the DWR finish when water no longer beads on the fabric surface, typically after several washes or extensive use in wet conditions.
Taped seams create a waterproof barrier over the stitching lines, preventing water from leaking through the needle holes, which is crucial for maintaining the jacket's overall waterproof integrity.
Yes, the hood is a grown-on technical design with adjusters, allowing you to customize the fit around your face for optimal protection against wind and rain.
Ensure all vents are open and that the garment is not too heavily layered underneath for the conditions. Check the breathability rating and consider the activity level. Wash the jacket with a technical cleaner to remove any residue that might be blocking pores.
The DWR finish may have worn off. Wash the jacket according to care instructions and then apply a DWR re-proofing spray or wash. Ensure all seams are intact; if not, professional repair may be needed.
Clean the zipper teeth gently with a soft brush and mild soap and water. Lubricate with a silicone-based lubricant or wax. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Ensure the drawcords are threaded correctly and the toggles are functioning. Check for any obstructions in the drawcord channels.
Setup: The Regatta Freesdale jacket requires no specific setup; it is ready to wear. Ensure all zippers are closed before use. Adjust the hood, cuffs, and hem as needed for optimal fit and protection.
Compatibility: This jacket is designed as an outer layer for adult males and can be worn over base layers and mid-layers for added insulation. It is suitable for a wide range of outdoor activities.
Care: To maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable properties:
