Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Lyle IV Packaway Jacket is designed for adult males seeking reliable protection from the elements during outdoor activities. Its key benefit lies in its waterproof, breathable, and packable design, ensuring comfort and convenience on the trail. A minor caveat is that while breathable, prolonged high-intensity activity in warm conditions might still lead to some perspiration build-up.

FAQs
What does 'Isolite 15000' mean?
Isolite 15000 refers to Regatta's own waterproof and breathable fabric technology. The '15000' typically indicates the hydrostatic head rating, meaning it can withstand a column of 15,000mm of water before leaking, signifying good waterproofness.
How do I wash the jacket?
Machine wash at 30°C using a mild liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on low or air dry.
Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?
Yes, it can be worn in cold weather. However, it is primarily a waterproof shell. For significant warmth, you will need to layer insulating clothing, such as a fleece jacket, underneath.
Is the hood adjustable?
The product description does not specify hood adjustability, but many Regatta rain jackets feature adjustable hoods for a secure fit. Please refer to product imagery or specific details if available.
How does the packaway pocket work?
The jacket is designed to be folded down and stuffed into one of its own pockets, which then functions as a compact pouch. This makes it easy to carry when not in use.
What is the warranty period for this jacket?
Information regarding the specific warranty period is not provided in the product details. Please check the retailer's website or contact Regatta customer service for warranty information.
Is the material noisy when moving?
Nylon fabrics can sometimes produce a slight rustling sound, but the Isolite 15000 fabric is generally designed to minimize noise during movement for a more comfortable outdoor experience.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof
The durable water repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket thoroughly and apply a suitable waterproofing treatment, such as a wash-in or spray-on product.
Jacket feels clammy inside
This can occur during high-intensity activity in warm conditions. Ensure all vents are open and consider wearing moisture-wicking base layers. The jacket's breathability helps, but extreme conditions may still lead to some internal moisture.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Ensure the zipper is free from debris. Gently move the zipper up and down. If it remains stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.
Jacket doesn't pack into its pocket easily
Ensure the jacket is completely dry and folded as flatly as possible before attempting to stuff it into the designated pocket. The packaway pocket is designed for convenience, not a perfectly neat fold.

Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash at 30°C with a mild liquid detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can damage the waterproof and breathable properties of the fabric.
- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly after washing to remove all detergent residue.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry naturally. Do not dry clean.
- Re-proofing: For continued water repellency, periodically re-proof the jacket using a suitable wash-in or spray-on waterproofing treatment, following the product's instructions. Ensure the garment is clean before re-proofing.
