Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Brianka Jacket is designed for adult women seeking reliable protection from everyday rain. Its key benefit is keeping you dry and comfortable with waterproof, breathable Isotex 15000 fabric and taped seams. A potential caveat is that it's specifically geared towards rain protection and may offer limited insulation in very cold weather. This longline jacket features a grown-on hood, adjustable cuffs, and two zipped pockets, making it practical for commutes and outdoor activities.

FAQs

What is Isotex 15000?

Isotex 15000 is a waterproof and breathable fabric technology. The '15000' rating indicates that the fabric can withstand a water column of 15,000 millimeters before water penetrates, and it has a breathability rating of 15,000g/m²/24 hours, meaning 15,000 grams of moisture vapor can pass through a square meter of fabric in 24 hours.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The Brianka jacket is designed primarily for waterproof protection. While you can layer it over warmer clothing like a fleece, it does not have significant built-in insulation and is not intended as a heavy winter coat for extreme cold.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash at 30°C with a mild liquid detergent. Avoid biological detergents and fabric softeners. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean.

Can I use fabric softener on this jacket?

No, fabric softeners should not be used as they can clog the pores of the waterproof and breathable membrane, reducing its performance.

How often should I re-proof the jacket?

The frequency of re-proofing depends on usage and how often the jacket is washed. Typically, it's recommended to re-proof when you notice water is no longer beading on the surface or the fabric starts to feel damp during use, usually after several washes or a season of regular wear.

What does 'grown-on hood' mean?

'Grown-on hood' means the hood is permanently attached to the jacket during manufacturing, rather than being a detachable or zip-off hood.

What are the dimensions of the zipped pockets?

Specific pocket dimensions are not provided, but they are designed to be practical for carrying everyday essentials like a smartphone, wallet, or keys.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer waterproof or water is soaking into the fabric.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and then re-apply a suitable DWR treatment. Ensure all seams are still intact.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and water. If still stiff, apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or a zipper lubricant) to the teeth.

Jacket feels clammy or less breathable.

Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the fabric's pores. Wash using a technical cleaner and follow care instructions for re-proofing if necessary. Check that interior vents or openings are not obstructed.

Hood is not staying in place.

Adjust the drawcords located on the hood to achieve a snugger fit. Ensure the drawcords are properly tied or secured after adjustment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

The Regatta Brianka Jacket requires no complex setup. It is ready to wear straight out of the package. Ensure the hood drawcords are adjusted to your preference for optimal fit and protection.

Compatibility:

This jacket is designed as a women's outer layer and is compatible with various everyday clothing items. It can be worn over t-shirts, sweaters, or light fleeces for added warmth, though its primary function is water protection. It is not designed to be layered over bulky insulated garments without compromising movement.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine wash at 30°C using a mild liquid detergent. Do not use biological detergents or fabric softeners, as these can impair the fabric's waterproof and breathable properties.
  • Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly after washing.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry. Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean.
  • Re-proofing: For continued performance, re-proof the jacket periodically using a waterproofing agent suitable for technical outdoor fabrics. Follow the product instructions for the re-proofing agent.
