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