Men's Regatta Mens Lyle IV Waterproof Hooded Jacket - Brown - M

The jacket has a waterproof rating of 5000mm and taped seams, making it suitable for moderate to heavy rain. For extreme or prolonged heavy rain, a jacket with a higher waterproof rating might be considered.

Typically, you turn the jacket inside out and fold it into one of its pockets, which often doubles as the storage pouch. Refer to the care label for specific folding instructions.

This jacket is primarily a waterproof shell. For cold weather, layer it over insulating clothing like fleece or down jackets to provide warmth.

While both offer waterproofing and breathability, Gore-Tex is a specific brand known for high-performance membranes. Regatta's Isolite fabric offers good performance for general outdoor activities at a different price point.

Re-proofing is recommended when you notice water is no longer beading effectively on the surface, typically after several washes or significant wear.

This refers to the jacket's breathability. It indicates that 5000 grams of water vapor can pass through one square meter of the fabric in a 24-hour period, signifying good moisture management.

The DWR finish may have worn off. Reapply a suitable DWR treatment following the product's care instructions.

Ensure all taped seams are intact. If damaged, professional repair may be necessary. Ensure the jacket was washed and cared for correctly.

Clean the jacket thoroughly with a technical fabric wash to remove any residue that might be blocking the pores. Ensure the garment is not overly layered for the conditions.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and water. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper track.
