FAQs
What is Isotex 10000?
Isotex 10000 is a Regatta fabric technology that provides a waterproof and breathable coating. The '10000' indicates a hydrostatic head of 10,000mm (waterproofness) and a moisture vapor permeability of 10,000g/m²/24hrs (breathability).
Is the jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The jacket offers good waterproofing with Isotex 10000 and taped seams, making it suitable for moderate to heavy rain. For extremely prolonged or torrential downpours, additional waterproof gear might be considered.
How do I wash this jacket?
Machine wash warm (40°C) on a gentle cycle with a special liquid detergent for waterproof/breathable clothing. Do not use powder detergent, bleach, or fabric softener. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on low heat.
Can I use fabric softener when washing?
No, fabric softener should never be used as it can clog the pores of the breathable membrane and reduce the jacket's waterproof and breathable performance.
What does 'Thermo-Guard' insulation mean?
Thermo-Guard is a synthetic insulation developed by Regatta. It provides excellent warmth and loft without being heavy, ensuring comfort in cold conditions.
Are the materials environmentally friendly?
Yes, this jacket is made from recycled materials, contributing to sustainability efforts by repurposing waste.
What are the pocket features?
The jacket has two lower patch pockets with flap stud fastening, two handwarmer pockets, and one internal zip pocket for secure storage.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer beading water / feels wet
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket and re-apply a DWR treatment according to the product instructions. Ensure the jacket is fully dry after application.
Reduced breathability or clammy feeling
The fabric's breathable membrane might be blocked by dirt or detergent residue. Wash the jacket using a specific technical wash detergent, rinse thoroughly, and ensure no fabric softener was used. Drying in a tumble dryer on a low heat can also help reactivate the membrane.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth to remove dirt or salt. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax (like a candle or lip balm) to the zipper teeth to help it slide smoothly.
Filling feels clumped after washing
This can happen during washing and drying. Tumble drying on a low heat with a few clean tennis balls can help break up the clumps and restore the jacket's loft and evenness.

Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash warm (40°C) on a gentle cycle. Use a special liquid detergent designed for waterproof/breathable outerwear. Do NOT use powder detergents, bleach, or fabric softeners, as these can damage the fabric's performance.
- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with a couple of clean tennis balls to help re-distribute the filling and restore loft. Alternatively, hang to dry away from direct heat sources.
- Re-proofing: For optimal water repellency, re-apply a DWR treatment after several washes or when water no longer beads on the surface. Follow the product instructions for the DWR spray or wash-in treatment.
