Regatta Norana Hooded Waterproof Jacket - Red - Size: 10

Isotex 15000 refers to Regatta's proprietary waterproof and breathable fabric technology. The '15000' indicates its performance rating: 15,000mm hydrostatic head for waterproofing and 15,000 g/m²/24 hours for breathability.

The Norana jacket is primarily designed for rain protection. While it can be layered over warmer clothing for insulation, it is not a heavily insulated winter coat on its own. It provides a waterproof and wind-resistant outer shell.

Yes, the jacket can be machine washed at 30°C (85°F). It is crucial to use a liquid detergent and avoid fabric softeners or powder detergents to maintain the fabric's performance.

After washing, tumble dry the jacket on a low heat setting. This process helps to re-activate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish on the outer fabric. For a stronger boost, a dedicated re-waterproofing spray can be applied.

The jacket has a standard fit with an adjustable shockcord waist, allowing you to cinch it in for a more personalized and flattering silhouette. It is designed to be worn over regular clothing.

Yes, it features a grown-on hood with drawcords that can be adjusted for a snugger fit.

The outer fabric is 100% polyester Isotex 15000, and the lining is 100% polyester taffeta.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Wash the jacket according to care instructions, then tumble dry on a low heat setting to reactivate the DWR. If performance is still poor, consider applying a re-waterproofing treatment suitable for technical outdoor gear.

This could indicate reduced breathability. Ensure no fabric softener or powder detergent was used during washing. Check that the jacket's vents (if any) are open. For severe cases, a specialized technical wash and re-proofing might be necessary.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a small brush to remove any dirt or residue. Lubricate the zipper with a silicone-based lubricant or a graphite pencil (rubbing the pencil lead along the teeth).

Ensure the jacket has been washed and dried correctly. If leaks persist through the taped seams, it may indicate a defect. Contact the retailer or manufacturer with proof of purchase.
