FAQs
What does 'Isotex 10000' mean?
Isotex 10000 refers to Regatta's own waterproof, breathable, and windproof membrane technology. The '10000' indicates a hydrostatic head rating of 10,000mm and a breathability rating of 10,000g/m²/24 hours.
Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold weather?
The jacket provides waterproof and windproof protection, but it is lightweight. For very cold conditions, it is best used as an outer shell layered over insulating garments like fleece or down.
How do I know if I need to re-waterproof the jacket?
If water no longer beads up on the surface of the fabric and instead soaks in, it's time to consider re-waterproofing. This is often needed after multiple washes or significant wear.
Can I machine dry the jacket?
Yes, you can tumble dry the jacket on a low heat setting. However, air drying is often recommended to prolong the life of the fabric and its waterproof treatments.
What is the 'peach skin effect' mentioned in the description?
The 'peach skin effect' refers to a soft, slightly textured finish on the fabric that gives it a feel similar to the skin of a peach. It contributes to the jacket's aesthetic appeal and comfortable hand-feel.
Are the recycled materials used in this jacket certified?
The product information states it's made from recycled polyester, indicating an effort towards sustainability. Specific certification details would typically be found on the product's hang tags or the manufacturer's website.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels damp inside during heavy rain.
Ensure all seams are properly sealed and the outer fabric's water repellency is intact. Consider re-applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment if water is not beading effectively.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a mild soap. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Lubricate with a silicone-based lubricant or graphite from a pencil if necessary.
Jacket lining feels sticky or degraded.
This can sometimes occur with age and improper storage. Avoid storing in damp conditions. Gentle hand washing according to care instructions may help, but significant degradation may be irreversible.
