Full details

Its key benefit is the Isotex 10000 technology offering excellent waterproof, windproof, and breathable performance.

FAQs

What is Isotex 10000?

Isotex 10000 is Regatta's own waterproof, breathable, and windproof technology. The '10000' indicates a hydrostatic head rating of 10,000mm (waterproofness) and a breathability rating of 10,000g/m²/24hrs.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash at 30°C with liquid detergent, rinse thoroughly, and tumble dry on a low heat to reactivate the DWR finish. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.

Will this jacket keep me completely dry in a storm?

The Isotex 10000 technology with taped seams provides excellent protection against moderate to heavy rain. However, extreme, prolonged downpours may eventually test its limits.

Can I wear this jacket in warmer weather?

While breathable, this jacket is designed for protection against wet and windy conditions. In warm weather, it might feel too warm unless worn for protection against rain. Consider layering appropriately.

What does the wired peak on the hood do?

The wired peak on the hood adds structure and helps to keep the hood shaped, directing rain away from your face and improving visibility in wet conditions.

How often should I re-waterproof the jacket?

Re-waterproofing is recommended when you notice water no longer beads on the surface and begins to soak into the fabric. This is often after several washes or significant wear. Reactivating the DWR via tumble drying is a good first step.

What is the difference between this jacket and a softshell?

This is a fully waterproof and windproof hardshell jacket. A softshell typically offers water resistance and wind resistance but is not fully waterproof and may be more breathable and flexible.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is leaking water.

Ensure all seams are properly taped. Check if the DWR finish needs reactivating (tumble dry on low heat) or if re-waterproofing is required. Also, verify that zippers are fully closed.

Reduced breathability or feeling clammy inside.

Ensure the jacket is clean; dirt and residue can block pores. Wash according to care instructions using liquid detergent and reactivate the DWR. Consider if the temperature requires a less waterproof/more breathable garment.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.

Clean the zipper teeth gently with a damp cloth. Apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to the zipper track.

Hood adjustment toggle is loose.

Check the integrity of the cord and the toggle mechanism. If damaged, the toggle may need replacement.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This jacket requires no specific setup. It is ready to wear straight out of the packaging. Ensure all zippers are fully closed before wearing to maximize protection.

Compatibility:

This jacket is designed for adult women and is suitable for a wide range of outdoor activities. It can be layered over various types of clothing, from t-shirts to fleeces, depending on the temperature.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable properties, follow these care instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30°C using a liquid detergent. Do not use powder detergents, bleach, or fabric softeners, as these can damage the fabric's technical properties.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly after washing.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry away from direct heat sources. Once dry, tumble dry for 10-20 minutes to reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish.
  4. Re-proofing: For enhanced water repellency, apply a technical re-waterproofing spray or wash-in product according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically after several washes or when water no longer beads effectively on the surface.
