Full details

Its key benefit is offering exceptional waterproof, windproof, and breathable performance thanks to Isotex 15000 technology, while remaining lightweight and comfortable. A minor consideration is its specific sizing, which corresponds to a 32-inch chest for a UK size 8. The jacket is crafted from durable, water-repellent recycled polyester with ripstop and stretch features, a DWR finish, and comes equipped with a technical hood, adjustable cuffs, and multiple secure zip pockets.

FAQs

What does Isotex 15000 mean?

Isotex 15000 is Regatta's technology that provides waterproof, windproof, and breathable performance. The '15000' typically refers to its hydrostatic head rating, indicating its ability to withstand water pressure, and its breathability rating (e.g., 10000g/m²/24hrs).

How do I know if the size 8 UK is correct for me?

A UK size 8 in this jacket corresponds to a 32-inch chest measurement. It's recommended to measure your chest circumference and compare it to this measurement for an accurate fit.

Can this jacket be worn in cold weather?

This jacket is primarily designed for waterproofing and windproofing. For cold weather, it's recommended to layer a warm insulating garment underneath, such as a fleece or thermal top, as the jacket itself provides minimal insulation.

How often should I re-apply the DWR finish?

The frequency depends on usage and care. Generally, re-apply the DWR finish when water no longer beads up and rolls off the fabric surface, typically after several washes or significant wear.

Are the seams taped?

Yes, the jacket features taped seams, which are crucial for ensuring the jacket is fully waterproof by sealing the needle holes made during construction.

What type of activities is this jacket suitable for?

This jacket is ideal for a range of outdoor activities such as hiking, trekking, walking, camping, and everyday wear in wet or windy conditions.

Can I machine wash this jacket?

Yes, you can machine wash this jacket following the specific care instructions on the garment's label, typically inside out with a mild detergent and without fabric softener.

Troubleshooting

Jacket no longer feels water-repellent

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Re-apply a suitable DWR treatment after washing, following the product instructions.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to close

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap, then dry and try again. Lubricating with a graphite pencil can also help.

Reduced breathability

Ensure the underarm vents are open and check that the garment's membrane is not blocked by dirt or residue. Wash the jacket according to care instructions to restore breathability.
