FAQs
Is the hood detachable on the Regatta Bayletta II jacket?
No, the Regatta Bayletta II features a 'grown-on' hood, meaning it is integrated into the jacket design and cannot be detached.
How do I ensure the jacket remains waterproof over time?
To maintain its waterproof properties, always wash the jacket with a specialist technical cleaner for waterproof garments, avoid fabric softeners, and periodically reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment when water no longer beads off the fabric.
What does Isotex 10000/15000 mean?
Isotex 10000/15000 refers to the jacket's waterproof and breathability ratings. '10000' or '15000' indicates the hydrostatic head (how much water pressure the fabric can withstand before leaking) in millimeters, with higher numbers meaning greater waterproofing. It also denotes a good level of breathability.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
The Bayletta II is designed for waterproof and breathable protection, but it is not insulated. For very cold weather, we recommend layering it over appropriate thermal base layers and mid-layers to provide the necessary warmth.
Are there internal pockets for valuables?
Yes, the jacket includes an internal security pocket, perfect for safely storing valuables like your phone or wallet.
Is the sizing true to fit?
Regatta generally aims for true-to-size fits. However, for the most accurate fit, we recommend consulting the specific size chart provided for the Regatta Bayletta II jacket, taking your measurements into account.
Troubleshooting
Jacket appears to be losing its waterproofing or 'wetting out'.
The DWR finish may need reactivation or reapplication. First, wash the jacket following care instructions, then tumble dry on low heat to reactivate the DWR. If this doesn't work, consider applying a specialist DWR re-proofing product.
The jacket feels clammy or less breathable inside.
This could be due to dirt or residue clogging the fabric's pores. Ensure you are washing the jacket correctly with technical wash, avoiding fabric softeners. Also, verify that all ventilation options (like the adjustable hem/cuffs) are utilized if you are active.
Zipper gets stuck or is difficult to move.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free it. If the zipper is stiff, a small amount of zipper lubricant or even a graphite pencil can help to smooth its movement. Avoid forcing it.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup

Compatibility
This jacket is designed for versatility. Its classic styling and practical features make it compatible with a wide range of outfits, from casual jeans and sweaters to light hiking attire. It can be easily layered over fleece jackets or base layers for added warmth in cooler conditions without restricting movement.
Care
Proper care is essential to maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable performance. Always refer to the specific care label inside your jacket for detailed instructions. General guidelines for waterproof, breathable garments include:
- Washing: Machine wash cold (around 30°C) on a gentle cycle. Use a technical wash designed for waterproof outdoor gear, avoiding conventional detergents, fabric softeners, and bleach, as these can clog the fabric's pores and compromise the DWR finish.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting, or hang to air dry. Tumble drying on low heat can often help reactivate the DWR finish. Avoid high heat.
- DWR Reapplication: Over time, the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may wear off, causing the fabric to 'wet out' (absorb water instead of repelling it). If water no longer beads on the surface, you can reapply a DWR treatment (spray-on or wash-in, available from outdoor retailers) to restore water repellency.
- Storage: Store the jacket in a clean, dry place. Avoid compressing it for long periods, which can potentially damage the fabric's waterproof membrane.
