Regatta Matt II Jacket - Grey - L

Isotex 15000 is a waterproof and breathable fabric technology used by Regatta. The '15000' rating indicates its performance in terms of hydrostatic head (waterproofness) and breathability, providing good protection against rain and allowing perspiration vapor to escape.

The hood typically has drawcords or toggles around the face opening to adjust the fit. To pack it away, locate the storage zipper (usually around the collar) and fold the hood neatly into the compartment before zipping it closed.

The jacket provides a waterproof and windproof outer layer. For very cold weather, you will need to layer insulating items like fleeces or down jackets underneath to maintain warmth.

Yes, the jacket is machine washable on a gentle cycle, but it is crucial to use a technical wash product and avoid fabric softeners or powder detergents to preserve the fabric's performance.

The frequency depends on usage and care. A general guideline is to re-apply when water no longer beads up and rolls off the fabric surface. Regular washing and tumble drying can help reactivate the existing DWR.

It signifies that a portion of the materials used to construct the jacket, such as polyester, has been sourced from recycled materials, contributing to a more sustainable product lifecycle.

This jacket is a hardshell, designed for robust waterproof and windproof protection. A softshell jacket is typically more breathable, water-resistant (not fully waterproof), and offers more stretch and comfort for less extreme conditions.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket and reactivate the DWR by tumble drying on a low heat for 20 minutes. If this doesn't work, consider applying a new DWR treatment.

This can indicate reduced breathability. Ensure all ventilation points are open, and check that the internal mesh lining is not obstructed. If the jacket is dirty, clean it according to care instructions, as dirt can impede breathability.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Dry thoroughly and then apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax (like paraffin wax or a specialized zipper lubricant) to the teeth. Avoid using oil-based lubricants.

Ensure the garment has been washed and dried correctly to reactivate any existing DWR. If leaks persist, the seam taping may be damaged, which is difficult to repair at home and may require professional assessment or replacement.
