FAQs
What does 'Isotex 8000' mean?
Isotex 8000 refers to Regatta's waterproof, windproof, and breathable fabric technology. The '8000' indicates a hydrostatic head rating of 8,000mm, meaning it can withstand water pressure equivalent to 8,000mm before it penetrates the fabric. It also signifies good breathability.
Is the body warmer suitable for very cold weather?
The body warmer provides good insulation with its faux down filling, making it suitable for cool to moderately cold weather. For extreme cold, it is best used as part of a layering system over warmer base layers and potentially under a heavier outer shell.
How do I know which size to order?
Refer to the Regatta sizing chart for women's apparel. It's recommended to check your chest and waist measurements. Given it's reversible, consider trying it on if possible, or pay close attention to reviews regarding fit.
Can I wear this in heavy rain?
The Isotex 8000 rating offers good protection in moderate rain. For prolonged exposure to heavy downpours, consider a garment with a higher waterproof rating or a fully waterproof outer jacket.
What are the benefits of the 'feather-free' filling?
Feather-free or faux down filling provides warmth and loft similar to natural down but is hypoallergenic, easier to care for, and aligns with cruelty-free and sustainable practices as it is typically made from recycled polyester.
How do I care for the reversible feature?
Follow the general care instructions provided. Ensure both sides are treated equally during washing and drying to maintain their respective appearances and performance.
What does '20D' refer to in the description?
20D refers to the denier count of the fabric, which is a measure of its thickness and density. A lower denier, like 20D, generally indicates a lighter and potentially finer fabric, contributing to the garment's lightweight feel.
Troubleshooting
Water is seeping through the fabric.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Reapply a suitable DWR treatment to the exterior of the garment according to the product instructions.
Body warmer feels less warm than usual.
The faux down filling may have become compressed or clumped. Try tumble drying on a low heat setting with a few clean tennis balls to help redistribute the filling and restore loft.
Zipper is difficult to operate.
Ensure there are no fabric or threads caught in the zipper. Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a mild soap solution, then try operating it again. Lubricate with a graphite pencil or silicone spray if needed.
Garment smells after use.
Wash the garment according to the care instructions. Ensure it is fully dry before storing to prevent odor buildup.
