FAQs
What does the 5000mm waterproof rating mean?
A 5000mm rating indicates the jacket can withstand moderate rain and wet conditions. It signifies that a column of water 5000mm high could be supported by the fabric before any water would seep through.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold temperatures?
The jacket features Thermo-Guard insulation and a fleece lining, making it suitable for cold weather. For extreme cold, layering with additional warm clothing underneath is recommended.
Can I wash this jacket in a washing machine?
Yes, it can be machine washed at 30°C with a mild liquid detergent. Avoid using biological detergents or fabric softeners, and rinse thoroughly.
How do I re-apply the water-repellent finish?
After washing and drying, you can use a spray-on or wash-in waterproofing treatment suitable for polyester fabrics. Always follow the instructions on the re-proofing product.
What is the difference between Hydrafort and Isotex 10000 fabrics?
Both are Regatta's waterproof and windproof fabric technologies. Isotex 10000 typically offers higher breathability and a higher hydrostatic head (10000mm) compared to standard Hydrafort, though this specific model lists a 5000mm rating which is still highly effective.
Does the jacket have a detachable hood?
The description indicates a 'Concealed' hood, suggesting it is integrated and can be tucked away, rather than fully detachable.
What is the purpose of the storm flap?
The storm flap is a protective covering over the main zipper, designed to prevent wind and water from penetrating through the zipper mechanism, thus enhancing the jacket's overall weather resistance.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer fully waterproof.
Ensure the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish is intact. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and consider applying a re-proofing treatment specifically designed for waterproof outerwear.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to use.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and a little water. Apply a wax-based lubricant (like beeswax or a zipper lubricant) to the teeth and work the zipper back and forth.
Jacket feels too restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size by checking the size chart. Loosen any adjustable cuffs or hem cords to allow for more movement. Consider wearing thinner layers underneath.
Fleece lining is pilling.
This is a common occurrence with fleece over time. Ensure you are washing and drying on appropriate settings (low heat, mild detergent) and consider using a fabric shaver for minor pilling.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket requires no assembly and is ready to wear out of the package. Its primary function is outerwear, so compatibility is generally with casual or work attire worn underneath. To maintain the jacket's performance and longevity:
Washing: Machine wash at 30°C using a mild liquid detergent. Do not use biological detergents or fabric softeners.
Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly.
Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting, preferably with a couple of tennis balls to help restore the loft of the insulation and the water-repellent finish.
Re-proofing: For optimal water repellency, it is recommended to re-proof the jacket periodically using a spray-on or wash-in waterproofing treatment suitable for polyester and synthetic fabrics. Follow the product's instructions carefully.
