Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Rehan Jacket is a weatherproof and breathable outerwear option for adult males seeking comfort and protection during everyday activities or light adventures. Its key benefit lies in its Isotex 15,000 stretch fabric, offering reliable waterproofing and breathability. A potential caveat is that while stylish, its primary design is for practical weather protection rather than extreme performance conditions.

FAQs
What does Isotex 15,000 mean?
Isotex 15,000 indicates that the fabric is waterproof to a hydrostatic head of 15,000mm and breathable to 15,000g/m²/24 hours. This rating signifies good performance for general outdoor activities.
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain or prolonged downpours?
The jacket offers good waterproofing with taped seams, making it suitable for moderate rain. For prolonged or extremely heavy downpours, a jacket with a higher hydrostatic head rating might be more appropriate.
Can I wear the jacket in cold weather?
The jacket itself is designed for protection against water and wind. For cold weather, it is recommended to wear insulating layers, such as a fleece or down jacket, underneath.
How do I wash the jacket?
Machine wash at 40°C with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softener. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on a low heat or hang to dry.
Does the hood offer adjustment?
The Rehan jacket features a grown-on hood, which is fixed. It is designed to provide a snug fit but does not have drawcords or adjusters for tightening.
What material is the jacket made from?
The jacket is crafted from 100% recycled polyester fabric with a stretch construction.
Where is the security pocket located?
The internal zipped security pocket is located on the inside of the jacket, typically on the left chest side, for secure storage of personal items.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer fully waterproof.
The durable water-repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and then apply a new DWR treatment suitable for waterproof fabrics.
Jacket feels clammy or less breathable.
Ensure the jacket is clean. Dirt and residue can clog the pores of the breathable membrane. Wash using a technical cleaner designed for waterproof outerwear. Check for any blockages in vents if present.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth to remove any dirt. Lubricate the zipper with a graphite pencil, wax, or a specialized zipper lubricant.
Seams appear to be leaking.
Check if the taped seams are intact. If the tape is peeling, professional repair may be needed, or re-taping can be attempted with specialized seam-sealing tape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Regatta Rehan Jacket requires no setup; it is ready to wear out of the packaging. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal fit and comfort.
Compatibility: This jacket is designed as a standalone outerwear piece. It pairs well with casual or outdoor attire. Consider layering with a fleece or thermal base layer in colder temperatures for added warmth.
Care Instructions: To maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable properties, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash at 40°C using a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners, as these can damage the fabric's performance.
- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly after washing.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry. Avoid direct heat sources.
- Re-waterproofing: For best results, periodically re-apply a water-repellent finish using a commercial waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment, following the product's instructions. This is typically recommended after several washes or when water no longer beads on the surface.
