Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Brianka Waterproof Jacket is designed for adult women seeking reliable protection from rainy weather during everyday activities. Its key benefit is the Isotex 15000 waterproof and breathable fabric, which ensures you stay dry and comfortable, even in prolonged downpours. A potential caveat is that while highly functional, the longline design might be less preferred for highly active pursuits where a shorter jacket is more practical. This jacket features taped seams, a grown-on hood, and a durable water-repellent finish, making it an ideal choice for commutes, walks, and general outdoor wear.

FAQs

What is Isotex 15000?

Isotex 15000 is a waterproof and breathable fabric technology used by Regatta. The '15000' rating indicates its performance in terms of breathability (15,000 g/m²/24 hours) and hydrostatic head (waterproofness).

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash at 40°C with a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softener. Tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?

The jacket itself is primarily for rain protection. For cold weather, it is designed to be layered over warmer clothing such as a fleece or insulated jacket. The lightweight design makes it suitable for layering.

What does 'taped seams' mean?

Taped seams means that the stitches on the inside of the jacket have been covered with a waterproof tape. This prevents water from leaking through the needle holes created during the stitching process, ensuring full waterproof integrity.

How is the fit of the Brianka jacket?

The Brianka jacket has a longline shape, meaning it extends further down the body than a standard jacket, offering more coverage. It is designed for a comfortable, everyday fit, with adjustable cuffs and hood for a personalized feel.

How often should I re-waterproof the jacket?

Re-waterproofing is recommended when you notice water is no longer beading on the surface and is starting to soak into the fabric. This can vary depending on usage and care, but often after 5-10 washes or when performance seems reduced.

Troubleshooting

Jacket no longer feels waterproof / water soaks in

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Wash the jacket according to care instructions without fabric softener, then tumble dry on a low heat or use a fabric re-proofer spray/wash. Ensure to follow the re-proofer's instructions.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to move

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Ensure any residue is rinsed off. Lubricate the zipper with a wax-based product (like a candle or specialized zipper lubricant) or even a small amount of petroleum jelly, then work the zipper back and forth.

Jacket feels clammy inside despite being dry outside

This can indicate reduced breathability. Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the fabric's pores. Wash using a technical fabric cleaner and ensure it's fully dry. If the issue persists, the fabric's breathability may be compromised over time.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Excellent waterproof and breathable performance for comfort in wet conditions.
Full seam taping ensures no water leakage through stitching.
Longline design offers superior coverage and protection.
Adjustable features like the hood and cuffs allow for a personalized fit.
Lightweight and easy to pack for travel or variable weather.

Cons

The longline cut may be restrictive for very vigorous activities.
Material composition is primarily polyester, which might not appeal to all preferences.
Basic design, lacking advanced features like underarm vents found in some technical jackets.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Regatta Brianka jacket requires no setup. It is ready to wear straight out of the packaging. Ensure all zippers are fully closed before engaging in activities.

Compatibility: This jacket is designed for general outdoor wear and is compatible with most common outdoor attire, such as jeans, trousers, and walking boots. It can be layered over a fleece or lighter sweater for added warmth in colder conditions.

Care Instructions:

Washing: Machine wash at 40°C. Use a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softener, as these can degrade the waterproof and breathable properties of the fabric.
Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators.
Re-proofing: For optimal water repellency, consider re-proofing the jacket periodically using a specific fabric re-proofer, following the product's instructions. This is typically recommended after several washes or when water no longer beads effectively on the surface.
