Full details
The Regatta Waterproof Matt II Jacket is designed for adult males seeking reliable protection during outdoor activities like hiking and climbing.

FAQs
What does 'Isotex 15000' mean?
'Isotex 15000' refers to the hydrostatic head rating, indicating the fabric can withstand 15,000mm of water pressure before leaking. It also signifies good breathability.
How do I ensure the jacket remains waterproof?
Regularly clean the jacket according to care instructions and reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment when water no longer beads on the surface.
Can this jacket be worn in very cold weather?
The jacket is primarily a waterproof shell. For very cold weather, layering base and mid-layers underneath is recommended for insulation.
Is the hood adjustable?
Yes, the packaway hood is typically adjustable to provide a secure fit against wind and rain.
What is the benefit of taped seams?
Taped seams ensure that the stitching holes, which can be weak points for water entry, are sealed, making the jacket fully waterproof.
How should I store the jacket when not in use?
Store the jacket clean and dry in a cool, well-ventilated place. Avoid storing it in plastic bags for extended periods, as this can degrade the waterproof membrane.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels damp inside during heavy exertion.
This can be due to internal condensation. Ensure the jacket is not too tightly fitted and that zippers and cuffs are properly sealed to manage airflow. If washing, ensure no detergent residue remains.
Water is penetrating the fabric.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Reapply a suitable waterproofing treatment to the outer fabric.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.
Clean the zipper teeth gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax specifically designed for zippers.
