Regatta Orlea Hooded Waterproof Jacket - Floral - M

Isotex 15000 refers to Regatta's proprietary waterproof and breathable fabric technology. The '15000' indicates a hydrostatic head rating of 15,000mm (waterproofness) and a breathability rating of 15,000g/m²/24hrs.

The jacket provides waterproof and windproof protection. For very cold weather, layering with insulating garments like fleece or down is recommended.

While the jacket is breathable, it is designed for moderate activities like walking or commuting. For very strenuous activities, consider a jacket with higher breathability ratings.

The hood is 'grown-on' and features drawcords, allowing you to tighten it around your face for better protection against wind and rain.

The two lower patch pockets have flaps and branded snap fastenings, providing secure closure and protection from the elements.

The frequency depends on usage and care. If you notice water is no longer beading and rolling off the fabric, it's time to re-apply.

The 'Hooded' versions explicitly include an integrated hood with drawcords for head protection, while non-'Hooded' versions would typically lack this feature.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and re-apply a suitable DWR treatment.

Ensure all seams are intact. If damage is present, professional repair may be needed. For minor issues, re-sealing with a seam sealer might help.

Clean the zipper track with a damp cloth and gently try to move it. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to the teeth of the zipper.

This could be due to reduced breathability. Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the membrane. Check that you are not overheating due to insufficient ventilation or excessive layering.
