Full details
The Regatta Rehan Jacket is designed for adult males seeking a weatherproof and stylish layer for everyday use. Its key benefit is providing reliable dryness and comfort in various weather conditions, thanks to its Isotex 15,000 waterproof and breathable fabric.

FAQs
What does 'Isotex 15,000' mean?
'Isotex 15,000' refers to the fabric's performance rating. It means the fabric is waterproof to a hydrostatic head of 15,000mm and breathable to 15,000g/m²/24 hours.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The jacket provides good protection against wind and rain but offers minimal insulation on its own. It is best layered over thermal base layers or fleeces for warmth in colder conditions.
Can I machine wash this jacket?
Yes, you can machine wash the jacket at 30°C (86°F) using a mild liquid detergent. Avoid bleach, powder detergents, and fabric softeners.
How do I restore the water repellency?
After cleaning, you can restore the water repellency by applying a DWR treatment spray or wash-in product, following the manufacturer's instructions.
What material is the jacket made from?
The jacket is made from 100% recycled polyester fabric, weighing 88 g/m².
Does the hood detach?
No, the jacket features a 'grown-on' hood, meaning it is fixed to the jacket and does not detach.
What are the benefits of taped seams?
Taped seams are sealed to prevent water from entering the jacket through the stitching holes, ensuring complete waterproofness.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is leaking water through seams.
Ensure all seams were properly taped during manufacturing. If the issue persists and the jacket is within warranty, contact the retailer. Ensure no detergent residue remains after washing, as this can affect waterproofness.
Reduced water repellency.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and then apply a new DWR treatment following the product's guidelines.
Jacket feels clammy or sticky inside.
This may indicate reduced breathability. Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the fabric's pores. Wash using a mild liquid detergent and rinse thoroughly. Avoid fabric softeners which can impair breathability.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a soft brush. Apply a small amount of beeswax or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth to help it glide smoothly.
