FAQs

What is Isotex 30000?

Isotex 30000 is a Regatta-specific waterproof and breathable fabric technology. The '30000' indicates a high level of waterproofness (30,000mm hydrostatic head) and breathability (30,000g/m²/24hrs), making it suitable for extreme weather conditions.

How do I clean the jacket?

Wash the jacket inside out with all zippers closed, using a mild detergent suitable for waterproof fabrics. Tumble dry on a low heat to help maintain the water-repellent finish. Do not use bleach, fabric softener, or iron the jacket.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The jacket itself is waterproof and windproof, providing protection from the elements. For very cold weather, it is designed to be layered over insulating base layers and mid-layers. The effectiveness in cold weather depends on the layering system used.

Can the hood be detached?

No, the hood is grown-on, meaning it is permanently attached to the jacket. It features adjusters to customize the fit.

What does 'Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish' mean?

A DWR finish is a coating applied to the outer fabric that causes water to bead up and roll off, preventing the fabric from becoming saturated. This helps maintain breathability and comfort. This finish can wear off over time and may need to be reapplied.

Are the pocket zips completely waterproof?

The pocket zips are water-repellent, meaning they offer good protection against light to moderate rain. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain or submersion, it is recommended to use a waterproof dry bag for sensitive items stored in the pockets.

What is the breathability rating of the fabric?

The fabric has a breathability rating of 30,000 g/m²/24 hours, which is considered very high and allows moisture vapor (sweat) to escape efficiently, keeping you comfortable during physical activity.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer fully waterproof or breathable.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Re-treat the jacket using a specific DWR spray or wash-in product designed for technical outdoor gear. Ensure the jacket is clean and dry before application and follow the product instructions. Tumble drying on a low heat can also help reactivate the DWR.

Zips are stiff or difficult to operate.

Ensure the zips are clean and free of dirt or debris. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or beeswax to the teeth of the zip. Gently work the zip up and down to distribute the lubricant. Avoid using oily or waxy substances not specifically designed for zippers, as they can stain the fabric.

Underarm vents are not opening properly.

Check the zips for any fabric snags or obstructions. Ensure the zipper pull tab is firmly grasped and try to move it slowly and deliberately. If the zipper is stuck, do not force it; try using a pencil lead (graphite) or a wax-based lubricant on the teeth.

Fit feels too restrictive in certain areas.

Adjust the hood, cuffs, and hem shockcord to achieve a more comfortable fit. If the jacket still feels restrictive, consider if you are wearing too many bulky layers underneath. The jacket is designed with a technical fit for performance, so ensure you have selected the correct size based on measurement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof and breathability ratings for superior comfort in wet conditions.
  • Durable construction with taped seams and water-repellent zips ensures long-lasting protection.
  • Technical features like adjustable hood, vents, and hem provide excellent adaptability for various activities.
  • Stretch fabric offers freedom of movement, crucial for hiking and climbing.
  • Designed specifically for demanding outdoor adventures.

Cons

  • May have a technical fit that requires careful consideration of sizing.
  • Primarily designed for outdoor performance, which might make it less suited for casual everyday wear for some.
  • The grey color might not suit everyone's aesthetic preferences.
  • Stretch ripstop fabric, while durable, could be perceived as less soft than other materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Regatta Oklarna jacket requires no assembly. It is ready to wear upon purchase. Ensure all zips are closed before washing and adjust the hood, cuffs, and hem to your preferred fit before heading out.

Compatibility: This jacket is designed for adult females and is suitable for a wide range of outdoor activities including hiking, trekking, mountaineering, and general outdoor exploration. It can be layered over base layers and mid-layers for added warmth.

Care Instructions:

  1. Close all zippers before washing.
  2. Wash inside out with a special detergent for waterproof and breathable fabrics.
  3. Tumble dry on a low heat setting. This helps to reactivate the durable water repellent (DWR) finish.
  4. Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean. Do not use fabric softener.
