FAQs

What does 'Isotex 15000' mean?

'Isotex 15000' refers to Regatta's own waterproof and breathable technology. The '15000' indicates the hydrostatic head rating in millimeters, meaning it can withstand 15,000mm of water pressure before leaking, and also signifies its breathability rating.

How do I properly clean the jacket to maintain its waterproofing?

Machine wash at 40°C with a technical detergent, rinse thoroughly, and tumble dry on a low setting. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Regular re-proofing may be necessary.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?

Yes, the jacket provides a waterproof and windproof shell. For very cold weather, layering thermal base and mid-layers underneath is recommended to provide insulation.

Is the hood removable?

Yes, the hood is detachable and adjustable, allowing you to remove it or modify its fit as needed.

What kind of pockets does the jacket have?

The jacket features multiple zip pockets, providing secure storage for your personal items.

How do I adjust the fit of the jacket?

The jacket has adjustable cuffs and a shock cord hem, which can be tightened or loosened to customize the fit and seal out the elements.

What activities is this jacket best suited for?

This jacket is ideal for hiking, trekking, climbing, and general outdoor activities where protection from rain and wind is essential.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer shedding water effectively.

The Durable Water-Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and then re-apply a DWR treatment, followed by tumble drying to activate it.

Water is leaking through the seams.

Ensure the jacket's taped seams are intact. If damage is visible, professional repair may be necessary. For minor issues, check care instructions to ensure they were followed to maintain seam integrity.

Jacket feels clammy or less breathable.

The jacket may be dirty or the DWR finish may be compromised. Wash the jacket with a technical cleaner and ensure it is rinsed thoroughly. Avoid fabric softeners. If breathability issues persist, the membrane may be compromised.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.

Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or a wax product to the zipper teeth for smoother operation.

  • Practical storage with multiple zip pockets.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Regatta Oakhowe jacket requires no complex setup. It is ready to wear straight out of the packaging. The detachable hood can be attached or removed using its fastening system, and the adjustable cuffs and hem can be tightened or loosened to achieve the desired fit.

Compatibility: This jacket is designed as a primary outerwear layer. It is compatible with layering systems, allowing you to wear base layers and mid-layers underneath for added warmth. Ensure your chosen layers do not restrict movement within the jacket.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 40°C on a gentle cycle with a technical wash detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can clog the fabric's pores and reduce breathability and water repellency.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting for approximately 20 minutes to reactivate the Durable Water-Repellent (DWR) finish. Alternatively, dry flat away from direct heat sources.
  4. Re-proofing: If the water repellency diminishes, re-proof the jacket using a suitable fabric waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment, following the product's instructions. This typically involves applying the treatment and then tumble drying to activate it.
