FAQs
What does 'Isotex 15000' mean?
Isotex 15000 is Regatta's own waterproof and breathable membrane technology. The '15000' refers to its waterproof rating in millimeters (15000mm) and its breathability rating in grams per square meter per 24 hours (15000g/m²/24hrs).
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
This jacket is primarily designed for waterproofing and windproofing. For very cold conditions, it is best worn as an outer shell over insulating layers like fleece or down.
How do I re-proof the jacket?
After washing and drying, you can apply a DWR re-waterproofing spray or use a wash-in proofer. Follow the specific instructions on the product you choose.
Can I wear this jacket if I'm sensitive to synthetic materials?
The jacket is made from 100% Polyester with a Mesh lining. If you have known sensitivities to these materials, consider consulting a medical professional or testing the fabric.
What are the key differences between this and other Regatta jackets?
The Isotex 15000 rating indicates a higher level of waterproofing and breathability compared to lower-rated Isotex fabrics. Features like articulated sleeves and tailored fit also distinguish it.
How do I adjust the hem and hood?
The hem can be tightened using the shockcord adjuster. The hood features a grown-on design with a toggle adjuster to customize the fit around your face.
Troubleshooting
Water is penetrating the fabric
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Wash the jacket according to care instructions and then apply a suitable re-waterproofing treatment.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to use
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a little mild soap. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zip. Lubricate with a silicone-based lubricant if necessary.
Jacket feels less breathable
The fabric may be clogged with dirt or detergent residue. Wash the jacket with a specialized technical cleaner or a mild detergent, ensuring a thorough rinse.
Hood adjustment is not effective
Ensure the toggle adjuster is clean and free of debris. Check that the drawcords are not tangled or damaged.
