Regatta Bayletta II Waterproof Jacket - Blue - 14

Isotex 10000 is Regatta's proprietary waterproof and breathable fabric technology. '10000' refers to its performance ratings: a hydrostatic head of 10,000mm, meaning it can withstand 10,000mm of water pressure before leaking, making it reliably waterproof. It also has a breathability rating of 10,000g/m2/24hrs, indicating good moisture vapor transmission, helping you stay comfortable and dry from the inside out.

Yes, with an Isotex 10000 rating and taped seams, the Bayletta II jacket is designed to provide effective protection in moderate to heavy rain. However, for extremely prolonged exposure in torrential conditions, specialized expedition gear might be more appropriate. For everyday heavy downpours, it performs very well.

While it is breathable, the jacket's polyester material and taffeta lining are best suited for cooler temperatures, such as spring, autumn, or mild winter days. In warmer, humid conditions, you might find it too warm. Its breathability helps manage moisture, but it's not designed for hot weather.

The product description mentions 'two pockets with stylish snap fastenings,' referring to external pockets. Internal pockets are not explicitly stated, so assume there are none unless confirmed by checking the garment directly.

Regular and proper cleaning is crucial. Use technical wash products specifically designed for waterproof breathable fabrics. Over time, the DWR finish may wear off; applying a DWR re-proofer spray after washing can restore its water-repellency. Avoid washing too frequently, but keep it clean from dirt and oils.

Yes, the Regatta Bayletta II Waterproof Jacket is available in a range of colors and women's sizes. You can check the product listings for other options such as Purple, Cream, Brown, Green, Turquoise, and Grey, across various UK dress sizes.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish might be worn off or the jacket may need cleaning. First, try washing the jacket with a technical cleaner as per care instructions. If water still soaks in, consider applying a DWR re-proofer spray.

While breathable, layering correctly is key. Ensure you're wearing appropriate base and mid-layers that wick moisture. Also, check if the jacket is clean, as dirt can block breathability. For warmer conditions, consider opening the main zipper slightly for ventilation.

Adjust the Velcro fastenings on the cuffs for a snug or relaxed fit. The hood features drawcords or adjusters; pull these to customize the fit around your head, ensuring it stays in place and offers optimal coverage.
