FAQs

What is Isotex 30000?

Isotex 30000 is a type of fabric technology that provides a high level of waterproofing (30,000mm hydrostatic head), breathability (30,000g/m²/24hrs), and durability, suitable for demanding outdoor conditions.

How do I adjust the VisionAlign Hood?

The hood features adjusters (drawcords) usually located at the back and sides. Tighten or loosen these to customize the fit and ensure an unobstructed view while maintaining protection.

Can I wear this jacket in warm weather?

While the jacket is breathable, it is primarily designed for protection against rain and wind. In very warm weather, you might find it too warm unless you utilize the underarm ventilation zips extensively. It's best suited for cool to mild temperatures where rain or wind protection is needed.

How often should I re-proof the jacket?

Re-proofing is recommended when you notice water is no longer beading on the surface and is starting to soak into the fabric. This typically happens after several washes or significant wear.

What type of detergent should I use for washing?

Always use a liquid detergent designed for technical outdoor wear. Avoid using powders, fabric softeners, or bleach, as these can damage the fabric's performance membranes.

What does 'taped seams' mean for waterproofing?

Taped seams means that waterproof tape is applied over the stitching on the inside of the jacket. This seals any tiny holes created by the needle during sewing, ensuring the seams do not allow water to penetrate.

Troubleshooting

Jacket no longer feels waterproof.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket thoroughly and apply a technical re-proofer according to the product instructions.

Water seems to be leaking through the seams.

Ensure the jacket has been washed and re-proofed correctly. For persistent issues, contact customer support as seams may require professional attention.

Zips are stiff or difficult to move.

Clean the zips gently with a damp cloth to remove dirt or salt. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax specifically designed for zippers.

Jacket feels less breathable than before.

The fabric's pores may be blocked by dirt or detergent residue. Wash the jacket again using a specific technical wash and rinse thoroughly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproofing (Isotex 30000) for severe weather.
  • High breathability rating to manage internal moisture.
  • Durable ripstop fabric for longevity.
  • Thoughtful design features like VisionAlign hood and ventilation zips.
  • Secure, water-repellent pockets offer practical storage.

Cons

  • May be overly technical or warm for mild weather conditions.
  • Ripstop fabric, while durable, can be stiffer than softer materials.
  • The advanced hood might require adjustment for optimal fit and view.
  • Water-repellent zips require care to maintain performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Regatta Oklarna jacket requires no assembly. Upon receiving the jacket, ensure all zips are closed and adjust the cuffs and hem using the integrated adjusters for a snug fit. The hood can be adjusted using the drawcords for optimal vision and coverage.

Compatibility: This jacket is designed as outerwear and is compatible with various base and mid-layers. Its generous cut in size XL allows for layering over fleeces or thicker sweaters.

Care: To maintain the waterproof and breathable properties of the Isotex fabric:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 40°C using a liquid detergent. Do not use fabric softener or bleach.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse twice to remove all detergent residue.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. Remove promptly.
  4. Re-proofing: For continued water repellency, apply a specific technical fabric re-proofer after washing, following the product's instructions. Ensure zippers are clean before re-proofing.
