FAQs
What is the main benefit of the Isotex 30000 fabric?
Isotex 30000 provides a high level of waterproofing (30,000mm) and breathability (30,000 g/m²/24hrs), keeping you dry from both external rain and internal perspiration.
How should I clean the jacket?
Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with a non-biological detergent. Rinse thoroughly and air dry. Avoid bleach, tumble drying, and ironing.
Can I wear this jacket in mild weather?
Yes, you can wear it in mild weather by utilizing the underarm ventilation zips and mesh lining for breathability. However, it is primarily designed for protection against rain and wind.
What does the VisionAlign Hood do?
The VisionAlign Hood is engineered to sync with your head movements, providing an unrestricted field of vision while you are active, which is crucial for safety and performance outdoors.
How do I maintain the jacket's water repellency?
After several washes, you can restore the water-repellent finish by using a spray-on or wash-in proofer suitable for technical outdoor fabrics. Follow the instructions on the re-proofing product.
Is the jacket suitable for extreme cold?
The jacket provides wind and rain protection. For extreme cold, it is recommended to layer appropriate thermal clothing underneath. The mesh lining offers some insulation, but it is not a heavily insulated jacket on its own.
What sizes and colors are available?
This specific product is in 'Burnt Orange' and size Medium. The Regatta Oklarna jacket is also available in other sizes (S-XXXL) and colors like Red.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer fully waterproof
Ensure the jacket is clean and free from dirt. Reapply a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment according to product instructions. Check that all seams are intact.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to move
Clean the zippers with a damp cloth and mild soap. Gently work the zipper up and down. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax specifically designed for zippers if necessary.
Jacket feels clammy inside
Open the underarm ventilation zips to increase airflow. Ensure the main zipper is partially open if needed. For very high exertion, consider wearing moisture-wicking base layers.
Seams appear to be leaking
This may indicate damage to the seam tape. Contact Regatta customer support for inspection or repair options.
