Regatta Waterproof Breathable Jacket - Blue - L

Isotex 10000 is a membrane technology that indicates the fabric's performance. '10000mm' refers to its waterproof rating, meaning it can withstand a column of water 10,000 millimeters high. '10000g/m²/24hrs' refers to its breathability, indicating how much water vapor can pass through a square meter of fabric in 24 hours.

Follow the care instructions carefully, especially regarding washing and drying. Avoid using fabric softeners or harsh detergents, as these can damage the waterproof membrane. Consider using a specialized technical wash and re-waterproofing spray periodically.

The double stormflap covers the main zipper, providing an extra layer of protection against wind and rain penetrating through the zipper area.

The hood has adjustment points, typically drawcords, that allow you to tighten it around your face for a secure fit and to keep rain out of your eyes. Tuck it away using its concealed design when not needed.

Ensure all seams are properly taped and that the jacket has been washed according to care instructions. Re-waterproofing treatments may be beneficial if the fabric's performance has diminished over time.

This can occur during high-exertion activities. Ensure the main zipper and any ventilation points are open. The breathable technology works best when there's a temperature differential and air can circulate.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a brush and water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper to improve its movement. Avoid forcing the zipper.
