FAQs
What does ISOLITE 15000 mean?
ISOLITE 15000 refers to Regatta's waterproof and breathable fabric technology. The '15000' indicates a hydrostatic head rating of 15,000mm (waterproofness) and a breathability rating of 15,000g/m²/24hr (how much water vapor can pass through).
How do I clean the jacket?
You can machine wash the jacket at 40°C. Use a mild detergent and ensure all fasteners are closed before washing. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on a low heat setting.
Can this jacket be worn in cold weather?
This jacket is designed primarily for waterproof and windproof protection. It is lightweight and does not provide significant insulation. For colder weather, it can be layered over warm clothing like fleece or thermal base layers.
Is the hood adjustable?
Yes, the jacket features a grown-on hood with drawcords, allowing you to adjust the fit and coverage around your face.
How does the pack-it feature work?
The jacket has a dedicated pocket (usually the lower front pocket) into which the entire jacket can be folded and zipped, creating a compact pouch for easy storage and transport.
What is a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish?
A DWR finish is a coating applied to the outer fabric that causes water to bead up and roll off, preventing the fabric from becoming saturated. This helps maintain the jacket's breathability and lightweight feel.
Are the seams taped for waterproofing?
Yes, the jacket features taped seams, which means the stitching lines are sealed with waterproof tape to prevent water from penetrating through the needle holes.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof.
Ensure the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish is intact. If it has worn off, consider a re-waterproofing treatment specifically designed for technical outerwear. Clean the jacket according to care instructions before treating.
Jacket feels clammy inside.
This can occur during high exertion. Ensure the jacket is properly zipped and the hood is adjusted. The breathability rating allows vapor to escape, but extreme activity can sometimes exceed its capacity.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and allow to dry. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax specifically designed for zippers if needed.
Jacket doesn't pack neatly into its pocket.
Ensure the jacket is completely dry before attempting to pack it. Lay it flat and fold it as compactly as possible before stuffing it into the designated pocket.
