Regatta Hamara IV Hooded Waterproof Jacket - Beige

Isotex 15000 is Regatta's advanced waterproof and breathable fabric technology. The '15000' indicates a waterproof rating of 15,000mm and a breathability rating of 15,000 g/m²/24 hours, meaning it can withstand significant water pressure and allows a good amount of moisture vapor to escape.

Wash the jacket inside out with a liquid detergent, closing all zippers. Avoid bleach and fabric softener. Tumble dry on low or line dry. It's recommended to re-apply a DWR finish after washing to maintain performance.

The jacket provides waterproof and windproof protection. For very cold weather, layering with insulating items like a fleece or down jacket underneath is recommended.

The wire in the hood's peak helps to give it structure and shape, ensuring it stays up and keeps rain away from your face without obstructing your vision. It also allows for easier adjustment.

The description mentions multiple zip pockets for storage. While the zippers offer a degree of protection, the pockets themselves are not described as fully waterproof, so it's best to store sensitive electronics in a waterproof pouch within the pockets.

The hem can be adjusted using the shock cord. Pull the cord to tighten the hem around your waist, creating a closer fit and preventing wind from entering.

The jacket features a printed mesh lining for comfort and breathability, and a 100% polyester taffeta lining in some areas.

Ensure the DWR finish is intact. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and reapply a DWR treatment using a suitable spray or wash-in product.

Verify that all seams are properly taped. If damage is visible, professional repair may be needed. Ensure the jacket has been washed and cared for correctly.

This could be due to the breathability limit being reached during very high exertion, or trapped moisture. Ensure all vents are open if applicable, and try to manage activity levels. Check that the inner lining is clean and free of debris that could impede airflow.

Clean the zipper teeth gently with a damp cloth and mild soap, then dry thoroughly. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax stick to the zipper teeth.
