Regatta Oakhowe Jacket - Red - S

Isotex 15000 indicates that the fabric has a hydrostatic head rating of 15,000mm, meaning it can withstand water pressure equivalent to a column of 15,000mm before leaking. It also signifies a breathability rating of 15,000g/m²/24hrs, meaning 15,000 grams of water vapor can pass through a square meter of fabric in 24 hours.

The jacket itself provides waterproof and windproof protection, but it is not heavily insulated. For very cold weather, layering with thermal base layers and insulating mid-layers is recommended to achieve adequate warmth.

Regular washing with a technical wash and tumble drying on a low heat setting helps to reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish. Reapply a DWR treatment periodically if water no longer beads on the surface.

Yes, the durable polyester material is designed to withstand the abrasion from backpack straps. Ensure the backpack fits comfortably over the jacket without restricting movement.

Please refer to the retailer or Regatta's official website for specific warranty information, as this can vary by region and purchase date.

Yes, the hood is detachable, allowing you to wear the jacket without it when desired.

Ensure you are using a technical wash product and follow the 'rinse twice' instruction to restore the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish. Consider re-applying a DWR treatment if performance does not improve.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and allow to dry. Apply a small amount of wax (like a graphite pencil lead or specialized zipper wax) to the teeth to improve glide.

This can occur in very humid conditions or during intense activity. Ensure all vents are open and try layering with moisture-wicking base layers. The breathability of the fabric is limited by the external humidity and internal moisture production.

Check that the hood fasteners are fully engaged and that the drawcord on the hood itself is tightened properly.
