Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Frankie Waterproof Jacket is designed for adult males seeking reliable protection in mixed weather conditions. Its key benefit is combining waterproof and breathable Isotex 15000 fabric with a stylish, rugged canvas look for everyday outdoor use. A potential caveat is that while it offers complete waterproof protection with taped seams, the breathability rating of 15,000 g/m²/24 hours may be surpassed during intense physical activity.

FAQs
What does Isotex 15000 mean?
Isotex 15000 refers to Regatta's own waterproof and breathable technology. The '15000' indicates a hydrostatic head of 15,000mm (waterproofness) and a breathability rating of 15,000g/m²/24hrs.
Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold?
The jacket provides waterproof and windproof protection, but it is not heavily insulated. It is best suited for layering over warm mid-layers for colder conditions.
How do I clean the jacket to maintain its waterproofness?
Machine wash at 40°C with similar colors using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. After washing, you can tumble dry on a low setting or line dry. Reapplying a DWR treatment periodically will help maintain water repellency.
Can I wear a thick jumper underneath?
Yes, the jacket is designed to be layered. You can comfortably wear a fleece or jumper underneath for added warmth.
What kind of pockets does the jacket have?
It features one zipped chest pocket, two lower zipped pockets, and one internal security pocket.
Does the hood offer good protection?
Yes, the jacket has a grown-on hood with drawcords, allowing you to adjust the fit for effective protection against rain and wind.
What is the main material of the jacket?
The main material is 100% polyester fabric with a cotton canvas look. The lining is 100% polyester taffeta.
Troubleshooting
Jacket not fully waterproof after some use
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need reapplication. Clean the jacket thoroughly and apply a suitable DWR spray or wash-in treatment according to the product's instructions.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and mild soap. Once dry, apply a silicone-based lubricant or a wax crayon to the teeth to improve glide.
Jacket feels clammy inside
This can occur if the breathability limit is reached during high exertion. Ensure all vents are open and consider wearing moisture-wicking base layers. If the issue persists during normal wear, check the jacket's care label to ensure correct washing practices.
