Product Information
Full details
This Regatta Frankie jacket is designed for adult males seeking reliable protection and style during everyday outdoor activities in mixed weather. Its key benefit is the combination of waterproof and breathable Isotex 15000 fabric with a durable canvas look. A potential caveat is that the cotton canvas look fabric might require specific care to maintain its appearance and performance over time.

FAQs
What is Isotex 15000?
Isotex 15000 is a waterproof and breathable fabric technology used by Regatta. The '15000' refers to its hydrostatic head rating, indicating its ability to withstand 15,000 millimeters of water pressure, and its breathability rating of 15,000 g/m²/24 hours.
Is this jacket suitable for very heavy rain?
Yes, the Isotex 15000 fabric and taped seams provide excellent protection against heavy rain, making it suitable for mixed weather conditions.
How do I clean the jacket?
Wash inside out at 30°C with a mild liquid detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on low heat or hang dry.
Can I use this jacket for hiking in cold weather?
The jacket provides waterproof and windproof protection. For cold weather hiking, it is recommended to layer appropriately with insulating base and mid-layers underneath.
What does 'Grown on hood' mean?
'Grown on hood' means the hood is permanently attached to the jacket's neckline, as opposed to a detachable hood.
Does the jacket have an internal pocket?
Yes, the jacket features an internal security pocket for safely storing valuables.
How often should I re-waterproof the jacket?
It is recommended to re-proof the jacket when you notice water is no longer beading on the surface, typically after several washes or prolonged use. Using a suitable waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment will help maintain its performance.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is not completely waterproof anymore
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and re-apply a DWR treatment. Ensure all seams are intact.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to move
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a little water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper teeth to improve smooth operation.
Jacket feels clammy inside
This can occur during high exertion. Ensure the jacket is not too tightly layered underneath. Open the main zipper slightly for increased ventilation. Check that the breathability rating is suitable for your activity level.
Fabric has lost its canvas-like texture
Follow the specific washing and drying instructions carefully, especially regarding temperature and avoiding harsh detergents or high heat drying, which can alter fabric appearance.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Highly waterproof and breathable Isotex 15000 fabric.
- Stylish canvas-look design for everyday wear.
- Taped seams offer robust waterproofing.
- Ample secure storage with multiple zipped pockets.

Cons
- May require specific care due to the cotton canvas look fabric.

Compatibility: This jacket is designed for general outdoor wear and is compatible with a range of base and mid-layers depending on the weather conditions. It is suitable for men in adult sizes.
