Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Oklarna Jacket in Black (Size L) is designed for adult males seeking durable, waterproof, and breathable outerwear for outdoor activities. Its key benefit is robust protection against rain and wind while allowing heat to escape, making it ideal for trekking, travel, or weekend adventures. A potential caveat to consider is that while highly breathable, prolonged strenuous activity might still lead to some perspiration build-up for very sensitive individuals.

FAQs

What is the waterproof rating of the Isotex 30000 fabric?

The Isotex 30000 fabric has a waterproof rating of 30,000 mm, meaning it can withstand significant water pressure before leaking.

How breathable is this jacket?

The jacket has a breathability rating of 30,000 g/m²/24 hours, which is considered excellent for allowing moisture vapor to escape.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?

The jacket itself provides windproof and waterproof protection. For very cold weather, layering with a warm insulating mid-layer like a fleece or down jacket is recommended.

How often should I re-proof the jacket?

Re-proofing is generally recommended every few washes or when you notice water is no longer beading on the surface, depending on usage and washing frequency.

What is the purpose of the VisionAlign Hood?

The VisionAlign Hood is designed to move with your head, ensuring you maintain a clear and unobstructed field of vision while wearing it, which is crucial for activities like hiking or climbing.

Are the pockets truly waterproof?

The pockets feature water-repellent zips, which offer good protection against light rain and splashes. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, it's advisable to use a waterproof inner bag for sensitive items.

What material is the jacket made from?

The main fabric is a 61% polyester / 39% polyester stretch Ripstop fabric, weighing 110 gsm. The lining is 100% polyester taffeta (sleeves) and 100% polyester mesh (body).

Troubleshooting

Jacket is leaking or no longer waterproof.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket thoroughly and re-apply a DWR treatment following product instructions. Ensure taped seams are intact.

Jacket feels clammy or overly warm.

Ensure underarm ventilation zips are open. Consider wearing lighter base layers or removing layers if weather permits. The jacket's breathability is high, but high exertion can still generate heat.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to use.

Clean the zips with a damp cloth and allow to dry. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or a wax stick specifically for zippers. Avoid using harsh chemicals.

Jacket has lost its shape after washing.

Ensure you followed the washing and drying instructions precisely. Avoid overloading the washing machine. Re-shape the garment while damp and tumble dry on a low heat setting as recommended.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly waterproof and breathable for all-weather comfort.
  • Durable Ripstop fabric resists tears and abrasions.
  • Thoughtful design features like VisionAlign hood and underarm vents enhance usability.
  • Secure, water-repellent pockets keep essentials dry.
  • Suitable for a range of demanding outdoor activities.

Cons

  • May be too warm for mild conditions if not utilizing ventilation.
  • Specific care is required to maintain DWR and waterproof properties.
  • Stretch Ripstop might be less durable than heavier traditional ripstop in extreme abrasion scenarios.
  • Water-repellent zips require care to ensure full functionality over time.
  • Lighter mesh lining in the body might feel less insulated for very cold weather without layering.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The jacket requires no assembly. Ensure all zips are closed before washing.

Compatibility: This is a standalone jacket designed for outdoor wear. It can be layered over base layers and mid-layers for added warmth.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 40°C using a mild liquid detergent. Do NOT use powder detergent, bleach, or fabric softener.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse twice to remove all detergent residue.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with a couple of old towels. This helps to reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish.
  4. Re-proofing: For enhanced water repellency, apply a re-proofing spray or wash-in product specifically designed for waterproof and breathable fabrics after several washes, following the product's instructions.
