The jacket has a breathability rating of 30,000 g/m²/24 hours, indicating excellent moisture vapor transfer.

While the jacket provides excellent protection from wind and rain, it is primarily a shell layer. For very cold weather, you will need to layer insulating mid-layers underneath.

Machine wash at 40°C with a mild liquid detergent, rinse thoroughly, and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid powder detergents and bleach.

Isotex 30000 is Regatta's high-performance fabric technology, providing 30,000mm hydrostatic head for waterproofing and excellent breathability.

No, fabric softeners are not recommended as they can impair the DWR finish and breathability of the fabric.

Re-apply the DWR treatment when water no longer beads on the surface, typically after several washes or significant use.

Yes, the jacket features a grown-on technical hood with a wire peak that helps maintain its shape and provides better protection from the elements.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket and then re-apply a suitable DWR treatment following the product's instructions.

Ensure all seams are intact. If the jacket is old or has been subjected to extreme abrasion, seam sealing may need to be reapplied by a professional, or the jacket may need replacement.

Clean the zipper teeth gently with a soft brush. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax (like beeswax) to the zipper teeth to help it glide smoothly.

Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the fabric's pores. Check that vents (if any) are open. Perform a thorough wash and re-proof if necessary.
