FAQs
What does 'ISOLITE 15000' mean?
ISOLITE 15000 refers to Regatta's fabric technology, indicating a hydrostatic head rating of 15,000mm, which signifies its high level of waterproofness. It also implies good breathability.
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The jacket is designed to be waterproof and is excellent for showers and moderate rain. For prolonged exposure to heavy downpours, additional waterproof gear might be necessary.
How do I clean the jacket?
You can machine wash the jacket on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Ensure it's completely dry before storing.
Can I pack it into its own pocket?
Yes, the jacket is designed to fold neatly into its own dedicated pocket, making it very compact and easy to carry.
What type of fit does this jacket have?
It features a lightweight and packable design, generally offering a relaxed but not oversized fit suitable for layering over lighter clothing.
What materials is the jacket made from?
The blue variant is primarily made from Nylon, known for its durability and water-resistant properties. Other variants may use Polyester.
Does the hood come off?
No, the hood is 'grown-on,' meaning it is permanently attached to the jacket.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer fully waterproof
Re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment to the outer fabric. Ensure the jacket is clean before reapplication. Avoid using fabric softeners during washing.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a mild soap. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper track.
Jacket feels damp inside despite being waterproof
This can be due to internal condensation. Ensure you are wearing breathable layers underneath and open the jacket or adjust ventilation if possible. Check that the fabric's breathability has not been compromised by dirt or residue.
Pack-away pocket is difficult to zip
Ensure the jacket is folded neatly and evenly before attempting to pack it into the pocket. Check for any obstructions in the zipper track.
