FAQs
What does the Isotex fabric technology do?
Isotex is a membrane technology that provides waterproofing and breathability. It prevents external water from penetrating the fabric while allowing internal moisture vapor to escape.
How breathable is this jacket?
The jacket has a breathability rating of 30000g/m²/24hrs, indicating good performance in allowing moisture vapor to pass through.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
The jacket is primarily designed for waterproofing and wind resistance. For very cold conditions, it's recommended to layer a warm insulating piece, such as a fleece or down jacket, underneath.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle, do not bleach, and tumble dry on low heat. Ensure all zippers are closed before washing.
What is the purpose of the wired peak on the hood?
The wired peak helps to keep the hood's shape and directs rain away from your face, ensuring better visibility and protection.
Does the jacket have ventilation features?
While the Isotex fabric is breathable, this specific model does not feature explicit underarm vents. However, the full zip can be opened for increased ventilation.
Is the DWR finish permanent?
No, the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish is not permanent and may wear off over time with use and washing. It can be reapplied to restore its water-beading properties.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer fully waterproof
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Re-apply a suitable DWR treatment after washing and drying the jacket according to care instructions.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to use
Ensure zippers are clean and free of debris. Gently use a soft brush to clean around the zipper teeth. A small amount of wax or silicone lubricant can help improve function.
Fit is too tight or restrictive
Consult the size chart provided by Regatta and compare it with your measurements. The Freesdale jacket is designed to be layered; consider a size up if you frequently wear thick mid-layers.
