Regatta Orlea Hooded Waterproof Jacket - Green

Isotex 15000 refers to Regatta's waterproof and breathable fabric technology. The '15000' indicates a hydrostatic head rating of 15,000mm (waterproofness) and a breathability rating of 15,000 g/m²/24 hours (allowing water vapor to escape).

The jacket is designed for protection against rain and wind. While it can be layered for warmth, it is not heavily insulated and is best suited for mild to cool conditions. For very cold weather, consider adding a warm mid-layer like a fleece.

Yes, you can machine wash the jacket at 30°C on a gentle cycle with a small amount of liquid detergent. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, ironing, and dry cleaning.

After washing and drying, you can apply a suitable DWR re-proofer spray or wash-in treatment. Follow the specific instructions provided with the re-waterproofing product.

The jacket features a mix of linings. The main body might have a plain taffeta lining for smooth wear, while the hood area could feature a printed lining for added visual detail and style.

The hood is grown-on and features drawcords. You can pull these cords to tighten the hood around your face for better protection against wind and rain.

The pockets have flaps to help protect the contents from direct rain, but they are not considered fully waterproof. It is best to store sensitive electronics or valuables in the internal security pocket.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Reapply a suitable DWR treatment according to the product's instructions after cleaning the jacket.

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the slider. If still stiff, apply a small amount of silicone lubricant or graphite from a pencil to the zipper teeth.

Check if the taped seams are intact. If there is visible damage to the tape, contact customer support. Minor leaks might be temporarily addressed with seam sealer, but professional assessment is recommended for long-term durability.

Ensure the jacket is not too tightly fitted, which can impede breathability. Check that any inner layers are also breathable. Wash the jacket according to care instructions, as residues can affect performance.
