Product Information

Full details

This Regatta Okara Waterproof Jacket is designed for adult females seeking reliable protection against the elements during outdoor activities. Its key benefit is providing waterproof, windproof, and breathable performance using Isotex 15000 technology, ensuring comfort in varied weather conditions. A potential caveat is that while lightweight, it may not offer significant insulation for extreme cold.

FAQs

What does Isotex 15000 mean?

Isotex 15000 is a performance standard indicating the fabric's breathability (15000g/m²/24hrs) and waterproof rating (15000mm hydrostatic head), meaning it's highly breathable and waterproof.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The jacket provides excellent protection against wind and rain but is lightweight. For very cold conditions, layering with warm clothing underneath is recommended.

How do I adjust the hood?

The hood is designed as a grown-on style with an adjustable drawcord to cinch it closer to your head for a snugger fit.

Can I put this jacket in the washing machine?

Yes, the jacket can be machine washed on a gentle cycle at 30°C with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and tumble drying.

What is the DWR finish?

DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. It's a coating applied to the outer fabric that makes water bead up and roll off, preventing the fabric from becoming saturated.

How often should I re-apply DWR?

Re-apply DWR treatment when you notice water no longer beads up on the fabric surface, typically after several washes or significant wear.

What are the underarm zips for?

The underarm zips, often with mesh panels, are for ventilation. They allow you to release heat and moisture during strenuous activity, helping to regulate your body temperature.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer fully waterproof

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Re-apply a suitable DWR treatment after washing, following the product's instructions.

Jacket feels clammy or stuffy

Open the underarm ventilation zips to increase airflow and regulate body temperature. Ensure you are not overheating due to excessive layering.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and allow to dry. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper for smoother operation.
