Full details
This Regatta Shorebay II men's jacket is designed for adult males seeking a stylish and practical waterproof outer layer. Its key benefit is providing reliable protection from rain and wind while maintaining breathability, thanks to Isotex 10000 recycled polyester fabric. A potential caveat is that while waterproof, it is intended for general rain protection rather than extreme expeditions. Key features include its bomber design, sealed seams, concealed hood, and a focus on using recycled materials.

FAQs
What is Isotex 10000?
Isotex 10000 is a waterproof, breathable, and windproof membrane technology developed by Regatta. The '10000' refers to its hydrostatic head rating, meaning it can withstand the pressure of 10,000mm of water without leaking.
Is the jacket fully waterproof or water-resistant?
The jacket is waterproof, featuring Isotex 10000 fabric, sealed seams, and water-repellent finishes to protect against significant rain.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash at 40°C with a mild liquid detergent, rinse thoroughly, and tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Do not use fabric softener or bleach.
Can I use fabric softener when washing?
No, fabric softener should not be used as it can degrade the waterproof and breathable properties of the fabric.
What does 'breathability rating of 10,000g/m²/24 hours' mean?
This rating indicates that 10,000 grams of water vapor can pass through one square meter of the fabric in a 24-hour period, signifying good breathability.
Does the jacket have adjustable features?
Yes, the jacket features elasticated cuffs and hems, and the concealed hood has adjusters for a secure fit.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
This jacket is designed for waterproof protection. For cold weather, it is recommended to layer it over insulating clothing like fleece or thermal wear.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof (water soaks in)
Ensure the jacket is clean. Reapply a suitable waterproofing treatment as per product instructions. Check that all seams are intact.
Reduced breathability (feeling clammy inside)
Clean the jacket thoroughly with a mild liquid detergent and rinse well. Ensure no detergent residue remains. Check for any blockages in the fabric pores.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth. Apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or a silicone-based lubricant) to the zipper teeth.
Elasticated cuffs or hem have lost their stretch
This is a natural wear and tear issue. While difficult to fully restore, avoid excessive stretching during use and follow care instructions to prolong their life.
