Regatta Bayletta Hooded Waterproof Jacket - Floral - Multicolor

The jacket features Isotex 15000 fabric and taped seams, which are designed to provide full rain protection and are suitable for moderate to heavy rain. However, for prolonged exposure in extreme downpours, layering or more specialized gear might be considered.

The hood has drawcords that can be tightened to adjust its fit around the face. The waistband features an inner drawcord that can be pulled to cinch the jacket for a more fitted silhouette.

This jacket is primarily designed for waterproofing and breathability. For cold weather, it is recommended to layer it over warm insulating clothing such as fleece or thermal tops to provide adequate warmth.

Isotex 15000 refers to a specific waterproof and breathable performance standard. The '15000' indicates the hydrostatic head rating, meaning it can withstand a column of water 15,000 millimeters high before leaking, and also refers to its breathability rating.

The frequency depends on usage and care. Generally, re-applying a DWR treatment is recommended when you notice water no longer beads on the fabric surface, typically after several washes or significant wear.

The jacket features a polyester taffeta lining in the sleeves for easy layering and a soft jersey lining in the body for added comfort.

Yes, you can machine wash the jacket using a cold, gentle cycle with a small amount of liquid detergent. It is important to wash it inside out and avoid using bleach or fabric softener.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Re-apply a DWR treatment following product instructions, or consider tumble drying on a low heat setting with old towels to reactivate the existing finish.

Ensure all taped seams are intact. If seams appear damaged, the waterproof integrity may be compromised. Refer to care instructions for maintaining seam integrity.

Check the internal lining for dirt or residue, which can impede breathability. Wash the jacket according to care instructions. Ensure no fabric softener was used, as it can clog the membrane.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth to remove any dirt. Apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or a specific zipper lubricant) to the teeth.
