Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Waterproof Matt II Shell Jacket in Yellow (XXXXL) is designed for adult males seeking reliable protection during outdoor activities like hiking and climbing, even in wet conditions. Its key benefit is the Isotex 15000 stretch fabric combined with taped seams for excellent waterproofing and breathability, allowing for movement. A potential caveat is that while highly functional, its primary focus is performance over style, which may not suit all aesthetic preferences.

FAQs
What does Isotex 15000 mean?
Isotex 15000 refers to the jacket's waterproof and breathable rating. It indicates that the fabric can withstand a hydrostatic head of 15,000mm of water and allows for a breathability rating of 15,000g/m²/24hrs, meaning it is highly waterproof and offers good breathability.
Can this jacket be worn in very cold weather?
This jacket is designed as a waterproof and breathable shell. For very cold weather, layering with insulating mid-layers (like fleece or down jackets) is recommended to provide warmth.
How do I store the packaway hood?
The hood is typically stored within a dedicated zippered compartment, often located around the collar of the jacket. Zip it away when not in use to keep it protected and tidy.
Is this jacket suitable for running?
Yes, the stretch fabric and breathability make it suitable for activities like running, especially in wet conditions. However, for high-intensity, prolonged running, specialized running jackets may offer enhanced ventilation features.
How often should I re-proof the jacket?
Re-proofing is recommended when you notice water is no longer beading on the surface and is starting to soak into the fabric. This can vary depending on usage frequency and environmental exposure, but typically every 6-12 months is a good guideline.
What is the material of the jacket?
The jacket is made from Polyester, utilizing Regatta's Isotex 15000 stretch fabric technology.
What sizes are available for this jacket?
This specific product listing is for size XXXXL. Other sizes, including XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL, and XXXL, are available in the same model and color.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer fully waterproof.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket thoroughly and apply a suitable re-proofing spray or wash-in treatment. Ensure all seams are intact.
Jacket feels clammy or less breathable.
Check if the inner lining is dirty or if there is a blockage in the fabric's pores. Wash the jacket according to care instructions with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Ensure underlayers are also breathable.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and water. Apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or a specialized zipper lubricant) to the teeth.
Hood adjustment cord is loose.
Locate the cord lock or toggle and adjust it to tighten the hood. If the cord itself is frayed, it may need to be replaced.
