FAQs

What does 'Isolite 15000' mean?

Isolite 15000 refers to Regatta's advanced waterproof and breathable fabric technology. The '15000' typically indicates the hydrostatic head rating, meaning it can withstand 15,000mm of water pressure before leaking, providing excellent protection against rain.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The jacket is designed for waterproof and windproof protection. While it can be layered over warmer clothing, it does not have significant insulation itself and is best suited for mild to cool, wet conditions rather than extreme cold.

How do I clean the jacket?

You can machine wash the jacket on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can reduce the fabric's performance. Tumble dry on a low heat or hang dry.

Can this jacket be worn by both boys and girls?

Yes, the jacket is designed as unisex, making it suitable for children of any gender.

What is the main advantage of this jacket?

The main advantage is its combination of being lightweight, fully waterproof, breathable, and easily packable into its own stuff sack, making it highly convenient for kids and parents on the go.

How often should I re-waterproof the jacket?

It's recommended to re-waterproof the jacket when you notice water is no longer beading on the surface or soaking into the fabric. This frequency depends on how often and in what conditions the jacket is used, but typically every 6-12 months with regular use is a good guideline.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is leaking water.

Check if seams are properly taped. Ensure no damage to the fabric. Consider re-proofing the jacket with a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment.

Jacket feels damp inside.

This might be due to humidity and lack of breathability. Ensure the jacket is properly ventilated during use and consider if the conditions exceed the jacket's breathability rating. Check that the fabric has not been compromised by detergents or softeners.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth to remove dirt. Apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to the zipper track.

Jacket is difficult to pack into its stuff sack.

Ensure the jacket is clean and completely dry before attempting to pack it. Fold or roll it neatly before placing it into the stuff sack.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine washable. Wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can affect the fabric's waterproof properties.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to air dry. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing.
  3. Re-proofing: For optimal performance, periodically re-proof the jacket using a suitable waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment, following the product instructions. This helps maintain the water-repellent finish.
