FAQs
What does 'Isotex 15000' mean?
'Isotex 15000' refers to Regatta's own waterproof and breathable fabric technology. The '15000' rating indicates a hydrostatic head of 15,000mm (waterproofness) and a breathability rating of 15,000 g/m²/24 hours (how much water vapor can pass through).
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 40°C using a specific waterproof fabric detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softener. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry. Do not iron.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
This jacket is designed for waterproofing and wind resistance. For cold weather, layer appropriate insulating items such as a fleece or insulated jacket underneath. The jacket itself provides a good outer shell against the elements.
What kind of maintenance does the DWR finish require?
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish can wear off over time with use and washing. Periodically, after cleaning, you may need to re-apply a DWR treatment to maintain its water-beading properties. Follow the instructions on the DWR product you choose.
Are the pockets large enough for a smartphone?
The jacket features two lower zipped pockets and one chest zipped pocket, along with an internal security pocket. These are designed to securely store essentials, and generally, modern smartphones fit within the lower or chest pockets.
What is the purpose of the taped seams?
Taped seams are essential for complete waterproof protection. They seal the needle holes made during the stitching process, preventing water from seeping through the seams of the garment.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer fully waterproof.
Ensure the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish is intact. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and consider re-applying a DWR treatment specifically designed for waterproof outerwear. Check that all seams are sealed and free from damage.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax (like beeswax) to the zipper teeth to improve its glide.
Jacket feels clammy inside, even when not raining.
This can be due to the breathability limit being reached during high exertion or inadequate ventilation. Ensure the main zipper is partially open for airflow and that the hood and cuffs are adjusted appropriately to allow moisture to escape.
