The Regatta Oklarna Hooded Hiking Waterproof Jacket is designed for adult females seeking robust protection during demanding outdoor activities. Its key benefit is advanced waterproof and breathable performance in tough weather conditions, with a potential caveat being its specific fit for outdoor pursuits rather than casual everyday wear. This jacket features Isotex 30000 stretch fabric, taped seams, underarm vents, a technical hood, and secure pockets, making it ideal for mountain hikes and challenging terrains.

The Oklarna jacket is designed for serious outdoor activities, particularly hiking and mountaineering, offering high levels of waterproof protection and breathability in challenging weather.
Isotex 30000 provides excellent waterproofing, with a breathability rating of 30,000 g/m²/24 hours, meaning it can withstand significant water pressure and allows moisture vapour to escape.
While the jacket offers breathability, it is primarily designed for protection against rain and wind. The underarm ventilation zips can help manage heat, but it may be too warm for very hot conditions without significant layering.
Re-waterproofing frequency depends on usage and care. Typically, it's recommended every 6-12 months or when you notice the outer fabric is no longer beading water effectively.
It is recommended to use a liquid detergent specifically designed for technical outdoor gear, or a mild liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and powders, as they can damage the fabric's performance.
The jacket features water-repellent zips on the lower pockets, which offer significant protection against light rain and splashes. However, they are not designed for submersion.
'Grown-on' means the hood is permanently attached to the jacket body during manufacturing, providing a seamless and integrated fit. 'Technical' implies it's designed with features like adjusters for optimal weather protection.
Ensure all seams are properly sealed. If the issue persists after washing and re-waterproofing, the fabric's coating may be degraded.
Open the underarm ventilation zips. Ensure the garment is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the membrane. Consider a re-waterproofing treatment if the outer fabric is 'wetting out'.
Clean the zipper teeth gently with a soft brush and mild soap. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper track.
The durable water repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket and then apply a suitable DWR spray or wash-in treatment as per the product instructions.
Setup: This is a ready-to-wear garment. Ensure all zips are fully closed and adjust the hood, cuffs, and hem for optimal fit before heading outdoors.
Compatibility: Designed primarily as outerwear for hiking and outdoor activities. It can be layered over base layers and mid-layers for added warmth.
Care: To maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable properties:
