Full details

Its key benefit is providing waterproof, windproof, and breathable coverage thanks to Isotex 10000 technology. A potential caveat is its textured fabric, which may not appeal to those preferring a smoother finish.

FAQs
What is Isotex 10000?
Isotex 10000 is Regatta's own waterproof and breathable fabric technology. The '10000' indicates a hydrostatic head rating of 10000mm (waterproofness) and a breathability rating of 10000g/m²/24hrs.
How do I maintain the waterproof properties?
After washing, it is recommended to re-apply a waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment to the fabric to maintain its Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish.
Can this jacket be worn in cold weather?
Yes, the jacket is windproof and waterproof, offering protection from the elements. For cold weather, it is designed to be layered over warmer clothing like fleeces or jumpers.
What does 'Grown On Hood' mean?
'Grown On Hood' means the hood is permanently attached to the jacket, rather than being detachable.
How should I clean the jacket?
Machine wash at 40°C on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low and iron on a low setting if necessary.
Is the fabric noisy when moving?
The fabric has a textured finish. While generally designed for comfort, some users may find a slight rustling sound during movement, typical of many waterproof jackets.
What is the 'Wired Peak' on the hood?
The 'Wired Peak' is a flexible wire incorporated into the edge of the hood's brim, allowing you to shape it to keep rain further away from your face.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels damp inside
Ensure the fabric's DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish is active. If not, wash and re-apply a waterproofing treatment. Also, check that all zippers and fasteners are fully closed during wear to prevent water ingress.
Hood is not staying in place
Adjust the toggle adjuster on the hood to create a tighter, more secure fit. Ensure the wired peak is positioned correctly.
Zippers are stiff
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and allow to dry. You can then apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to help it slide smoothly.
Water is seeping through seams
Verify that all seams are properly taped. If taping appears damaged, professional repair may be necessary. Ensure the garment is correctly cared for according to instructions.
