Regatta Cath Kidston Long Shell Jacket - Cream - Floral - Size: 10

This is a shell jacket designed primarily for waterproof and breathable protection. While it can be layered over warmer clothing for cooler weather, it does not offer significant insulation on its own and may not be warm enough for very cold winter conditions.

You can use a spray-on or wash-in DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment. Follow the specific instructions on the product you choose, usually involving washing the garment and then applying the treatment and drying it (often in a tumble dryer on low heat).

It is recommended to use a specific technical wash or a small amount of liquid detergent. Regular detergents and fabric softeners can leave residues that may clog the fabric's pores and reduce its waterproof and breathable performance.

ISOTEX 15000 refers to the jacket's waterproof and breathability rating. It means the fabric can withstand a water pressure of 15,000mm and has a breathability rating of 15,000g/m²/24h, indicating good performance in wet conditions.

The hood typically has drawcords around the edge that can be tightened or loosened to adjust the fit. The waist usually features an internal drawcord system that can be adjusted to cinch the jacket in for a more personalized fit.

The jacket is made from 62% Polyester and 38% Recycled Polyester, offering durable and more sustainable wear.

Ensure all seams are taped correctly. If the issue persists, the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may need reapplication or the fabric itself may be compromised. Use a technical wash and re-waterproofer according to product instructions.

This could indicate reduced breathability. Wash the jacket with a technical cleaner to remove any residues that might be blocking the pores. Ensure you are not overheating underneath the jacket; consider wearing lighter layers.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and water. Apply a wax-based lubricant or a small amount of petroleum jelly to the zipper teeth.
