FAQs
What does 'Isotex 10000' mean?
Isotex 10000 is Regatta's waterproof and breathable technology. It means the fabric offers 10,000mm hydrostatic head (waterproofness) and 10,000g/m²/24hrs (breathability).
How do I find the right size?
Refer to the size guide provided. Measure your chest circumference and compare it to the specified inches for each size. Note that this jacket may fit larger than expected, so checking measurements is key.
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
Yes, with its Isotex 10000 rating and taped seams, it is designed to provide good protection in moderate to heavy rainfall for extended periods.
Can I wear this in cold weather?
The jacket itself is lightweight and offers minimal insulation. It is best worn as an outer shell over insulating layers (like fleece or a warm jumper) for cold weather conditions.
How often should I reapply the DWR finish?
This depends on usage frequency and care. A general guideline is to reapply every 6-12 months or when you notice water no longer beads effectively on the fabric surface.
Is the hood detachable?
No, the hood is not detachable, but it is 'packaway', meaning it can be folded and stored within the collar when not in use.
Troubleshooting
Water is seeping through the fabric
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Consider washing the jacket and then applying a new DWR spray or wash-in treatment according to product instructions. Ensure seams are intact.
Jacket feels clammy or too warm
This indicates reduced breathability. Ensure the mesh lining is free of debris and that the jacket is not layered too heavily underneath. Check that the zipper is fully closed to maintain the waterproof barrier.
Hood is not staying in place
Tighten the toggle adjuster on the packaway hood to secure it better around the face.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to use
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a little mild soap and water. Allow to dry completely before testing again. A small amount of silicone-based lubricant can also help.
