The Isotex 20000 fabric has a waterproof rating of 20,000mm and a breathability rating of 20,000g/m²/24 hours, indicating excellent protection against heavy rain and good moisture vapor transfer.
Yes, the jacket is designed for layering. You can wear it over insulated mid-layers and base layers to adapt it for colder temperatures.
Machine wash at 40°C with a mild liquid detergent, rinse twice, and tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Avoid bleach and fabric softener. Re-apply a DWR treatment after washing for optimal performance.
The main front zip and chest pocket zips have a water-repellent finish, designed to resist water penetration. However, in prolonged heavy downpours, some minor ingress might occur, hence the importance of the inner zip protection and sealed seams.
Articulated sleeves are designed with pre-shaped curves and seams to allow for a greater range of motion in the arms and shoulders, making it easier to move freely during activities.
Yes, the jacket features an integrated technical hood with adjustment features, allowing you to customize the fit for optimal protection against wind and rain.
The jacket is made from 100% recycled polyester. It features a partly taffeta polyester lining (sleeves) and partly brushed mesh lining (body). The fabric weight is 165 g/m².
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Re-apply a suitable DWR treatment following the manufacturer's instructions. Ensure seams are intact and consider professional seam sealing if leaks persist.
Ensure the breathability vents (if any) are open. Check that internal pockets are not overstuffed, obstructing airflow. Wash the jacket with a technical wash to remove residues that might be blocking pores. Ensure the inner lining is not wet from sweat.
Gently clean the zips with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or salt residue. Apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or a zipper lubricant) to the zip teeth. Avoid forcing a stuck zip, as this can cause damage.
Inspect seams for damage. If minor, a seam sealant can be applied. For significant damage, the jacket may no longer be reliably waterproof.
Setup: The Regatta Birchdale II Jacket requires no specific setup. It is ready to wear straight out of the packaging. Ensure all zips are fully closed before use to maximize weather protection.
Compatibility: This jacket is designed as outerwear and is compatible with layering systems. Wear it over base layers and mid-layers for added warmth in colder conditions. Its technical features are optimized for outdoor activities.
