FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The Regatta Brianka Jacket is primarily designed for waterproof protection. While it can be layered with warmer clothing underneath for insulation, it does not have built-in thermal lining and may not be sufficient on its own for freezing temperatures.
How do I maintain the waterproofness of the jacket?
To maintain waterproofing, it is recommended to re-apply a suitable waterproofing treatment to the outer fabric periodically, especially if you notice water is no longer beading on the surface. Always follow the specific product's instructions for application.
Can I wear this jacket for hiking?
Yes, the jacket is suitable for light to moderate hiking, especially in wet conditions. Its waterproof and breathable features are beneficial for staying comfortable. However, the longline fit might be less ideal for very strenuous hiking where unrestricted movement is paramount.
What does 'Isotex 15000' mean?
Isotex 15000 refers to Regatta's own waterproof and breathable fabric technology. The '15000' indicates a hydrostatic head rating of 15,000mm, signifying excellent waterproof performance, and a breathability rating (MVTR) of 15,000g/m²/24hrs, meaning it allows a good amount of moisture vapour to escape.
How should I clean the jacket if it gets dirty?
You can machine wash the jacket on a gentle cycle at 40°C with similar colours. Avoid using bleach, fabric softener, or tumble drying on high heat. It's best to air dry it away from direct heat.
What is the difference between this jacket and a parka?
While both offer weather protection, parkas often have more features like thicker insulation, adjustable hoods and waists, and a longer length. The Brianka is a functional, lightweight waterproof jacket with a longline cut, prioritizing rain protection over heavy insulation or extensive adjustability.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is leaking water
Ensure all seams are properly taped. Re-apply a waterproofing treatment to the outer fabric if it is no longer beading water effectively.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Clean the zipper teeth gently with a damp cloth and allow to dry. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper track.
Jacket feels clammy inside
While the jacket is breathable, significant exertion can still lead to moisture build-up. Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers and consider opening the jacket slightly if possible during high activity. Check that the fabric's breathability hasn't been compromised by dirt; clean as per care instructions.
Hood adjustment is limited
The hood is designed as a grown-on feature for simplicity. For a more tailored fit, ensure the jacket is zipped up fully to create a snugger profile around the face.
