Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Okara Waterproof Jacket is designed for adult women seeking reliable protection from the elements during outdoor activities. Its key benefit is exceptional waterproof and windproof performance thanks to Isotex 15000 technology. A potential caveat is that while highly functional, the design is focused on utility rather than high fashion.

FAQs

What does Isotex 15000 mean?

Isotex 15000 indicates the fabric's performance level, meaning it is waterproof to 15,000mm and breathable to 15,000g/m²/24hrs. The jacket specifically has a waterproof rating of 10,000g/m²/24hrs.

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket provides good waterproof protection (10,000g/m²/24hrs) and is suitable for moderate to heavy rain. For extremely prolonged or torrential downpours, a jacket with a higher waterproof rating might be considered.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash at 30°C with a mild detergent on a low spin. Rinse thoroughly. Do not bleach, tumble dry, or iron. Line dry away from direct heat.

Can I wear layers underneath?

Yes, the jacket is designed to accommodate layers. The sizing chart should be consulted for a comfortable fit with base and mid-layers. The use of stretch fabric also aids in layering.

What is the benefit of the underarm zips?

The underarm zips are ventilation zips that allow you to release excess heat and moisture during strenuous activity, helping to keep you comfortable and dry from the inside.

Is the hood removable?

No, the hood is a 'grown-on' hood, meaning it is permanently attached to the jacket. It is adjustable for a better fit.

What material is the jacket made from?

The jacket is made from recycled polyester with a ripstop and stretch fabric construction.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer waterproof

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Wash the jacket according to care instructions and consider applying a fabric re-waterproofer spray or wash-in treatment.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a small amount of soap. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Lubricate with graphite from a pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant if needed.

Reduced breathability or feeling clammy inside

Ensure underarm zips are open for ventilation. The jacket may require washing to remove any residues that could be blocking the membrane's pores. Ensure the inside is not saturated with sweat.

Hood adjustment is not holding

Check that the toggles and cords are clean and free of debris. Ensure they are fully tightened. If the elastic mechanism is damaged, contact customer support.
