FAQs

What does '30000g/m²/24hrs' refer to?

This measurement indicates the jacket's breathability rating. It means that 30,000 grams of water vapor can pass through one square meter of the fabric in a 24-hour period, signifying excellent breathability.

What is Isotex fabric?

Isotex is Regatta's own-brand waterproof and breathable fabric technology, designed to keep you dry and comfortable outdoors.

How do I find the correct size?

Refer to the size chart provided, which details chest measurements for each size (e.g., M: 40 inches). Measure your chest circumference and compare it to the chart.

Can this jacket be worn in very cold weather?

The jacket provides waterproofing and wind resistance, but it has limited insulation. It is best layered over thermal clothing for cold conditions.

Is the jacket made from recycled materials?

Yes, the jacket is made from 70% Polyester and 30% Recycled Polyester, contributing to a more sustainable product.

How often should I reapply waterproofing treatment?

This depends on the frequency of use and exposure to the elements. Typically, reapplication is recommended when you notice water no longer beads up and rolls off the fabric surface.

What does 'Colour Block' design mean?

Colour block refers to a design that uses distinct blocks of solid colors, often in contrasting shades, to create a bold visual pattern.

Troubleshooting

Water is leaking through seams.

Ensure all seams are properly taped. If leakage persists, consider reapplying a DWR treatment or seam sealer. Check the care label for specific instructions on re-waterproofing.

Jacket is not breathable; feeling clammy inside.

Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the fabric pores. Check that the vents (if any) are open and that you are not wearing excessive layers underneath. Refer to the care instructions for proper cleaning.

Zips are stiff or difficult to use.

Gently clean the zip with a damp cloth and allow it to dry. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or graphite (from a pencil) to the zip teeth. Avoid forcing the zip.

Hood adjustment is not effective.

Ensure the toggle adjuster on the hood is functioning correctly. If the cord is frayed or the toggle is damaged, it may need replacement.
