Full details
This Regatta Sterlings Insulated Waterproof Jacket is designed for adult males seeking reliable protection from the elements during outdoor activities. Its key benefit is superior waterproofing and windproofing thanks to Isotex 15000 technology and taped seams, keeping you dry and comfortable. A potential caveat is that while highly functional, the jacket's aesthetic is purely practical, prioritizing performance over high fashion. Key features include a breathable, DWR-finished outer, insulated and fleece lining, a technical hood, adjustable cuffs, and multiple secure pockets.

FAQs
What does Isotex 15000 mean?
Isotex 15000 is a membrane technology that provides a hydrostatic head of 15000mm, meaning it can withstand a column of water 15000mm high before leaking. It also indicates breathability, allowing water vapor to escape.
How should I clean the jacket to maintain its waterproof properties?
Wash the jacket inside out with a mild detergent at 40°C, close all fastenings, and do not use fabric softener or bleach. Tumble dry on a low setting or line dry. Reapply a DWR treatment periodically to maintain water repellency.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold winter conditions?
The jacket features Thermo-Guard insulation and fleece lining for warmth. For very cold conditions, it is recommended to layer additional thermal clothing underneath. It is best suited for cool to cold weather.
What materials is the jacket made from?
The outer shell and lining are made from 100% Polyester. The filling is also polyester-based, designed for insulation. Importantly, it is made from recycled materials.
Can I wear this jacket in heavy rain?
Yes, the Isotex 15000 fabric with taped seams and a DWR finish provides excellent protection against heavy rain.
What is the fit like for the XXL size?
The XXL size corresponds to a chest measurement of 48 inches. It is designed for an adult male fit, intended to accommodate layering underneath.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The lower pockets have flap closures for protection, and the internal pocket has a zip closure. While designed to keep contents dry, extreme exposure to water may still penetrate, especially the outer pockets.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is leaking water
Ensure all seams are properly taped and that the DWR finish is intact. Reapply a DWR treatment if necessary. Check that zippers are fully closed and the storm flap is engaged.
Jacket feels cold or not warm enough
The Thermo-Guard insulation is designed for moderate to cold conditions. For extreme cold, consider layering with additional thermal garments underneath. Ensure the jacket is zipped up fully and cuffs are tightened.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. You can apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or a pencil lead) to the zipper teeth to help it glide more smoothly. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
Jacket smells after use
Follow the recommended washing instructions carefully. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
