FAQs
What does 'Isotex 15000' mean?
Isotex 15000 refers to Regatta's own waterproof and breathable fabric technology. The '15000' indicates its hydrostatic head rating, meaning it can withstand 15,000mm of water pressure before leaking, signifying good waterproofing.
How do I wash the jacket?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild, eco-friendly detergent. Avoid fabric softener, bleach, and ironing. It is recommended to re-proof the jacket after washing to maintain its waterproof finish.
Can I wear this in very cold weather?
The jacket is designed for waterproofing and wind resistance. For very cold conditions, layering with warm mid-layers like fleece or down is recommended.
Is the hood detachable?
This information varies by specific model iteration. Please check the product's detailed specifications or imagery. Many Regatta Hamara jackets feature adjustable, but often non-detachable, hoods.
What is the best way to re-waterproof the jacket?
After washing, use a spray-on or wash-in DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment specifically designed for outdoor gear. Follow the product instructions carefully.
How do I check if the jacket is still waterproof?
If water beads up and rolls off the surface, the DWR is working. If water soaks into the fabric, leaving dark patches, the DWR needs refreshing.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels damp inside.
Ensure proper ventilation by adjusting cuffs and hem. If persistent, the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may need reapplication. Check internal fabric for damage.
Water is seeping through seams.
The taped seams may be compromised. Inspect for damage and consider professional seam sealing if minor. Ensure the garment has been cared for according to instructions.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth to remove dirt or salt. Apply a wax-based lubricant or a specialized zipper lubricant.
Jacket loses its water-repellent properties.
The DWR treatment needs refreshing. Follow the care instructions to wash the jacket and then apply a suitable waterproof repellent spray or wash-in treatment.
