FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The Regatta Mens Matt II Waterproof Jacket is designed for waterproof protection and breathability. While it can be layered with insulating clothing for warmth, it is not inherently a heavily insulated winter coat and is best suited for moderate temperatures or as an outer shell in colder conditions.
How do I re-apply the water repellent finish?
You can use a spray-on or wash-in DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment. Follow the specific product instructions carefully. Typically, after washing the jacket (and ideally tumble drying on low), you apply the treatment and then ensure it is properly bonded, often through a low-heat tumble dry or gentle ironing (check garment care label).
What does 'Isotex 10000' mean?
Isotex 10000 refers to Regatta's own-technology waterproof and breathable fabric. The '10000' indicates its performance rating: 10,000mm hydrostatic head (waterproofness) and 10,000g/m²/24hrs (breathability).
Can I machine wash this jacket?
Yes, the jacket can be machine washed at 30°C with a mild detergent. It's important to rinse thoroughly and avoid bleach.
Does the jacket have a specific fit for men?
Yes, this jacket is designed with a male fit. Refer to the size chart for specific measurements, as the product information indicates a XXXXL size is available.
What is the benefit of the taped seams?
Taped seams are strips of waterproof tape applied over the stitched seams of the garment. This prevents water from seeping through the tiny holes created by the needle during sewing, ensuring the jacket remains fully waterproof.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is leaking water
Ensure all zippers are fully closed and check that the DWR finish is still active. If not, re-apply a DWR treatment. The waterproof membrane may be compromised if leaks persist through the fabric.
Jacket feels clammy inside
This can happen if the breathability is overwhelmed by high exertion or if the inner fabric is damp. Ensure inner layers are not overly thick and consider if the conditions exceed the jacket's breathability rating. Check that the jacket is not too tight, allowing for air circulation.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Gently pull the zipper tab. If it's still difficult, apply a small amount of wax (like a candle or beeswax) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
Hood adjustment toggles are loose
Locate the small cord lock mechanism on the hood's drawcords. Press the tab or button on the cord lock to adjust the toggle's position and release to secure it.

Cons
