FAQs
What does 'Isotex 15000' mean?
'Isotex 15000' refers to Regatta's own waterproof and breathable technology. The '15000' indicates a hydrostatic head rating of 15,000mm, meaning it can withstand water pressure equivalent to 15,000 millimeters before leaking, and a breathability rating of 15,000g/m²/24hrs, indicating good vapor permeability.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The jacket provides excellent protection against rain and wind. For very cold weather, it is designed to be layered over warmer clothing such as fleece or insulated mid-layers to provide adequate warmth.
How do I find the right size?
Please refer to the specific sizing chart provided by Regatta for women's jackets. It is recommended to measure your chest, waist, and hip and compare these measurements to the chart. The adjustable waist can offer some flexibility.
Can I wear this jacket for hiking or outdoor activities?
Yes, the jacket's waterproof and breathable features make it suitable for various outdoor activities like walking and light hiking in wet conditions. However, for strenuous activities in extreme weather, specialized gear might be more appropriate.
How often should I re-proof the jacket?
Re-proofing is recommended when you notice water is no longer beading on the surface of the fabric or is starting to soak in. This typically depends on the frequency and conditions of use, but every 6-12 months is a general guideline.
What is the lining made of?
The jacket features a soft jersey lining, which adds comfort against the skin and makes it pleasant to wear even over short-sleeved tops.
Troubleshooting
Water is seeping through the seams.
Ensure the jacket has been washed and dried correctly. Consider re-proofing the jacket with a suitable product designed for waterproof outerwear.
The jacket feels less breathable than before.
Check that the garment is clean; dirt and residue can clog the pores of the fabric. Follow the washing instructions carefully and consider a gentle wash cycle. Ensure no fabric softener was used.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper with a damp cloth and a mild soap. Once dry, apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or a silicone-based lubricant) to the zipper teeth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Care Instructions:
To maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable properties, follow these guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash inside out at 30°C using a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can damage the fabric's performance.
- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent residue.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Re-proofing: For optimal water repellency, it is recommended to re-proof the jacket periodically using a suitable spray or wash-in proofer, following the product's instructions.
