FAQs
What does Isotex stretch material mean?
Isotex is Regatta's own waterproof, breathable, and windproof fabric technology. 'Stretch' indicates that the fabric has added elastane or similar fibers to provide flexibility and ease of movement.
How do I know if I need to re-waterproof the jacket?
If water no longer beads up and roll off the fabric surface, but instead soaks in, it's time to reapply a DWR finish.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
The jacket is primarily designed for waterproof protection. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer warm insulating clothing underneath.
Is the 'snug fit' suitable for layering?
Yes, the snug fit is designed to work well with base and mid-layers. It avoids excess bulk while providing a secure fit. Consider sizing up if you prefer a much looser fit over thick layers.
What is the breathability rating of 15000g/m²/24hrs?
This rating indicates that 15,000 grams of water vapor can pass through one square meter of the fabric in a 24-hour period. A higher number generally means better breathability.
How should I clean the jacket if it gets muddy?
Remove excess dirt, then machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with a liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softener. Air dry or tumble dry on low heat.
Is this jacket suitable for hiking?
Yes, its waterproof, breathable, and stretch features make it well-suited for hiking and other outdoor activities in variable weather conditions.
Troubleshooting
Jacket not fully waterproof after some use.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need reapplication. Clean the jacket and follow instructions for a DWR spray or wash-in treatment.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a small brush. Apply a graphite pencil rub or a wax-based lubricant to the teeth.
Breathability seems reduced.
Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the membrane pores. Wash according to care instructions. Check for any blockages in vents if present.
