FAQs
What does 'Isotex 10000' mean?
Isotex 10000 refers to Regatta's own waterproof and breathable membrane technology. The '10000' indicates its performance rating, typically meaning it can withstand 10,000mm of water pressure and allows 8,000g/m²/24hr of water vapor to pass through, signifying good waterproofness and breathability.
Can this jacket be worn in cold weather?
The jacket itself is primarily for waterproof and windproof protection. For cold weather, it is recommended to layer warm insulation underneath, such as a fleece or insulated jacket, to increase warmth.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart for the most accurate measurements. Consider if you plan to wear thick layers underneath; if so, you might consider sizing up. The adjustable cuffs and hem also help in fine-tuning the fit.
Is the jacket suitable for heavy rain?
Yes, the Isotex 10000 fabric and taped seams are designed to provide effective protection in heavy rain.
What is the benefit of the mesh lining?
The mesh lining improves air circulation within the jacket, enhancing breathability and preventing a clammy feeling during physical activity by wicking moisture away from the skin.
How often should I reapply the water repellent finish?
The need to reapply the finish depends on usage and care. If water no longer beads up on the surface, it's a good time to consider reapplying the DWR treatment, usually after several washes or significant wear.
Does this jacket contain recycled materials?
Yes, the product description states it is made with recycled content, contributing to sustainability.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is not fully waterproof anymore
The durable water repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Try reactivating it by ironing on a cool setting or re-applying a DWR treatment according to product instructions.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to use
Clean the zipper teeth with water and a brush. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or a graphite pencil to the teeth to improve glide.
Mesh lining feels uncomfortable
Ensure the garment is clean and free from detergent residue. Check for any loose threads that might be causing irritation. Proper washing according to care instructions should resolve this.
Hood is difficult to pack away
Ensure the hood is completely dry and flat before attempting to fold and store it in its designated compartment. Refer to the garment's care label for specific folding guidance.
