FAQs
What does 'Isotex 15000' mean?
Isotex 15000 refers to the fabric's performance rating. It signifies that the fabric provides 15,000mm of hydrostatic head (waterproofness) and allows 15,000g/m²/24h of water vapor to pass through (breathability).
Is this jacket insulated?
No, the Regatta Matt II is a shell jacket. It is designed to protect you from the elements and is not insulated. You will need to wear layers underneath for warmth.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash at 40°C with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on low or hang dry. Do not iron.
Can I wear this jacket in very windy conditions?
Yes, the adjustable hem and cuffs, along with the windproof nature of the fabric, help to block out wind effectively when properly secured.
What is the purpose of the mesh lining?
The mesh lining enhances breathability and comfort by allowing air circulation between your skin and the waterproof outer layer, helping to manage moisture.
How do I store the hood?
The hood is designed to be packed away into the collar. Locate the zipper on the collar, unzip it, and fold the hood inside before re-zipping.
What sizes and colors are available?
This specific product listing is for the Yellow XL size. However, the Regatta Matt II jacket is available in various sizes and other colors such as Brown.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof (water soaks in)
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket thoroughly and reapply a suitable DWR treatment according to the product's instructions. Ensure the jacket is clean before reapplication.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to move
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth to remove dirt or debris. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or a wax crayon to the zipper teeth for smoother operation.
Mesh lining feels uncomfortable
Ensure you are wearing an appropriate base layer underneath. The mesh lining is designed for breathability; a smooth base layer can enhance comfort.
Jacket feels too cold for intended use
This is a shell jacket designed for weather protection, not insulation. Add warmer mid-layers (e.g., fleece, insulated jacket) underneath to increase warmth.
Pros and Cons

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Regatta Matt II Jacket requires no assembly. It is ready to wear straight out of the packaging. Ensure all zippers are fully closed before use.
Compatibility: This jacket is designed as an outer shell. It is compatible with various mid-layers, such as fleece jackets, insulated vests, or thermal tops, to provide warmth in colder temperatures. It is suitable for adult males.
Care Instructions: To maintain the performance and longevity of your jacket:
- Washing: Machine wash at 40°C with a similar colored detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners, as these can damage the waterproof coating.
- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly after washing.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry. Avoid direct heat sources.
- Re-waterproofing: For best results, re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment periodically, especially if water is no longer beading on the surface. Follow the product instructions for the DWR treatment.
