Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Orlea Hooded Waterproof Jacket is designed for adult women seeking reliable protection from the elements during everyday activities and changeable weather. Its key benefit is the Isotex 15000 waterproof and breathable fabric, offering excellent defense against rain while keeping you comfortable. A potential caveat is that the floral pattern may not suit all aesthetic preferences. This jacket features a grown-on hood, two lower patch pockets, adjustable cuffs, and an internal security pocket, all constructed from durable polyester with taped seams for complete waterproofing.

FAQs
What does Isotex 15000 mean?
Isotex 15000 refers to the fabric's rating, indicating it is waterproof to a hydrostatic head of 15,000mm and breathable to 15,000 g/m²/24 hours. This signifies good protection against moderate to heavy rain and good breathability.
Can this jacket be worn in cold weather?
The jacket is primarily designed for waterproof protection. While it can be layered over warm clothing, it does not have built-in insulation, so for very cold weather, additional insulating layers would be necessary.
How do I care for the jacket to ensure its longevity?
Machine wash at 30°C with liquid detergent, rinse thoroughly, and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Reapply DWR treatment as needed.
What is the purpose of the internal security pocket?
The internal security pocket is designed to safely store small, valuable items such as keys, cards, or a mobile phone, keeping them protected from the elements and secure.
Is the hood adjustable?
Yes, the grown-on hood features drawcords, allowing you to adjust its fit for better protection against wind and rain.
What materials is the jacket made from?
The jacket is made from 100% polyester fabric with a 100% polyester taffeta lining.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer fully waterproof
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Wash the jacket according to care instructions and consider reactivating the DWR by tumble drying on a low heat, or reapply a DWR treatment following product instructions.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Ensure the fabric around the zipper is clear of obstructions. You can try lubricating the zipper teeth gently with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant.
Jacket feels clammy or less breathable
Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can impede breathability. Check that the vents (if any) are open and that you are not wearing excessively non-breathable layers underneath. Follow care instructions for washing.
