FAQs
What is Isotex 15000?
Isotex 15000 refers to Regatta's advanced fabric technology that offers a high level of waterproofing (15,000mm hydrostatic head) and breathability (15,000g/m²/24hr) to keep you protected and comfortable in challenging weather.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash at 40°C with a mild detergent. Do not bleach or use fabric softener. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on low or hang dry. Re-apply DWR treatment as needed.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
The Hamara IV is a waterproof shell. For cold weather, you will need to layer insulating garments such as fleece or down jackets underneath it to provide warmth.
Is the hood adjustable?
Yes, the grown-on technical hood features adjusters to allow for a secure and customized fit, and it includes a wire peak for better visibility.
What is the benefit of the mesh lining?
The printed mesh lining enhances breathability and provides a comfortable feel against the skin, reducing clamminess.
How should I store the jacket when not in use?
Store the jacket in a cool, dry place. Avoid long-term storage in tightly compressed states, which can affect the fabric's performance. Ensure it is clean and dry before storing.
Does the jacket have internal pockets?
Yes, the jacket features an inner zipped security pocket for safely storing valuables like keys or a phone.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer fully waterproof.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Wash the jacket according to care instructions and then apply a new DWR treatment, following the product's specific guidelines.
Water seems to be seeping through seams.
Ensure all seams were properly taped during manufacturing. If a seam appears damaged or unsealed, contact customer support as this may indicate a defect.
Jacket feels clammy inside.
While the jacket is breathable, intense activity can still lead to moisture buildup. Ensure all vents are open (if applicable) and consider wearing moisture-wicking base layers. Check that the jacket is not too tight, allowing for air circulation.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to use.
Clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and gently dry. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or graphite from a pencil to the zipper teeth to improve sliding action.
