FAQs

What is Isotex 15000?

Isotex 15000 is a membrane technology that provides waterproof and breathable performance. The '15000' typically refers to a hydrostatic head rating, indicating the fabric's ability to withstand water pressure, and a breathability rating (MVTR).

How do I know if I have the right size?

The jacket should fit comfortably over your intended base and mid-layers without being too tight or too loose. Ensure you can raise your arms fully and move freely without restriction. Check the specific size chart provided by Regatta for detailed measurements.

Can I wear this in very cold weather?

This jacket is primarily designed for waterproofing and wind resistance. For very cold weather, you will need to layer insulating mid-layers underneath. The jacket itself provides minimal insulation.

How often should I reapply DWR treatment?

DWR treatment typically lasts for several washes or a period of heavy use. You should reapply it when you notice water is no longer beading up and rolling off the fabric surface, but instead soaking in.

Are the pockets waterproof?

The jacket features multiple pockets for secure storage. While designed to protect contents from light rain, they are not typically submersible and may not be fully waterproof under prolonged heavy downpours.

What is the benefit of the mesh lining?

The mesh lining improves comfort by creating a small air gap between your skin and the waterproof membrane, enhancing breathability and reducing the clammy feeling often associated with waterproof garments.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is not fully waterproof anymore

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment following product instructions. Ensure seams are intact and consider a professional reproofing if significant wear is visible.

Jacket feels damp inside despite no external leaks

This can occur during high-exertion activities due to perspiration. Ensure all vents are open and the inner layers are breathable. If the issue persists, the fabric's breathability may be compromised; clean the jacket according to care instructions.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use

Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a damp cloth. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax (like a candle or lip balm) to the zipper teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.
