Regatta Hamara IV Hooded Waterproof Jacket - Blue - Size: 10

Isotex 10000 indicates that the fabric has a waterproof rating of 10,000mm and a breathability rating of 10,000 g/m²/24 hours. This means it can withstand 10,000mm of water pressure and allows 10,000g of water vapor to pass through per square meter in 24 hours.

The hood features adjusters, typically shock cords or toggles, located at the back and/or front. Tighten or loosen these to achieve a secure fit around your head and optimize visibility.

This jacket is designed primarily for waterproofing and wind resistance. For very cold weather, layering with insulating garments underneath is recommended.

The product description mentions Isotex 10000, but also refers to Isotex 15000. Isotex 15000 signifies a higher level of waterproofness (15,000mm) and breathability (15,000 g/m²/24 hours) compared to Isotex 10000.

Re-apply DWR treatment when water no longer beads up on the fabric surface. This can vary depending on usage and environmental conditions, but typically occurs after several washes or periods of heavy use.

The jacket features a mesh lining for breathability and a lightweight taffeta lining. It is not designed for insulation but provides a comfortable inner surface.

The wire peak helps to keep the hood's shape and directs water away from your face, improving visibility in wet conditions without obstructing your view.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Re-apply a DWR treatment according to product instructions. Ensure the jacket is clean before treatment.

Check if seams are properly taped. For persistent issues, contact customer support as seam taping may require professional repair.

Ensure the jacket is clean and free from dirt and residue that can clog pores. Wash according to care instructions. Avoid fabric softeners.

Gently try to move the zipper. Apply a small amount of wax or graphite (from a pencil tip) to the zipper teeth. Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper.
