FAQs
What does 'ISOLITE 15000' mean?
ISOLITE 15000 refers to Regatta's fabric technology, indicating it is waterproof with a hydrostatic head rating of 15,000mm and breathable with a rating of 15,000g/m²/24hrs. This ensures good protection from rain while allowing perspiration vapor to escape.
How do I care for my waterproof jacket?
Machine wash at 30°C with a mild detergent, do not bleach, tumble dry, or iron. Close all fasteners before washing and wash separately. Reapply water repellency as needed.
Is this jacket suitable for cold weather?
The jacket is primarily designed for rain protection. While you can layer it over warmer clothing, it offers minimal insulation on its own and is best suited for mild to cool, wet conditions.
How does the pack-away feature work?
The jacket is designed to be folded or stuffed into one of its lower pockets, transforming into a compact pouch for easy storage and transport.
Can I wash this jacket with other items?
It is recommended to wash the jacket separately to avoid damage to the fabric or its waterproof treatment, and to prevent lint transfer.
What is the breathability rating of the fabric?
The breathability rating is 15,000 g/m²/24 hours, meaning it can allow a significant amount of water vapor to pass through the fabric, helping to keep you dry from the inside during activity.
How durable is the water-repellent finish?
The durable water-repellent (DWR) finish provides initial protection against water beading on the surface. This finish can wear off over time with use and washing; it can be renewed by reapplying a suitable DWR treatment.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer fully waterproof.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Re-apply a suitable DWR treatment according to the product's instructions. Ensure seams are still intact.
Jacket feels clammy or less breathable.
Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the pores of the fabric. Wash following care instructions. Check that the internal mesh lining is not preventing air circulation.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and mild soap and water. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Apply a wax-based lubricant if necessary.
Jacket does not pack easily into its pocket.
Ensure the jacket is completely dry before attempting to pack it. Fold or roll the jacket neatly before starting to stuff it into the designated pocket.
