Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Lyle IV Waterproof Packaway Jacket is designed for adult males seeking reliable protection from the elements during outdoor activities like hiking, walking, and attending festivals. Its primary benefit is its waterproof and breathable Isotex 5000 fabric, combined with taped seams, ensuring you stay dry and comfortable. A key consideration is its packable nature, making it an excellent choice for unexpected rain, though it's important to note that while lightweight, it is a functional outer layer rather than an insulated piece for extreme cold.

FAQs
What does Isotex 5000 mean?
Isotex 5000 refers to Regatta's technical fabric that provides a waterproof and breathable rating. '5000' indicates it can withstand 5000mm of water pressure before leaking and allows a certain amount of water vapor to pass through, measured in g/m²/24hrs.
How do I pack the jacket into its bag?
Typically, there is a specific pocket or an internal pouch. Fold the jacket neatly, starting from the bottom or sleeves, and stuff it into the designated pouch or pocket until it forms a compact bundle.
Is this jacket warm enough for winter?
The Lyle IV is a waterproof shell jacket, designed primarily for rain protection. It is lightweight and does not contain significant insulation. For cold winter weather, you would need to layer warm clothing underneath, such as a fleece or insulated jacket.
Can I wash this jacket in a washing machine?
Yes, the jacket can be machine washed at 40°C with a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as they can damage the fabric's waterproof and breathable properties.
What is the warranty period for this jacket?
Warranty information can vary by retailer and region. Please check the product packaging or the retailer's website for specific warranty details applicable to your purchase.
Is the hood adjustable?
The jacket features a pull-on hood designed for protection. While not always explicitly stated as adjustable with drawcords, its design typically allows for a snug fit around the head.
What kind of outdoor activities is this jacket best suited for?
It is ideal for hiking, walking, camping, attending festivals, and general outdoor pursuits where protection from rain and wind is needed. Its packaway nature makes it great for day trips and travel.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer repelling water effectively.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment may have worn off. Wash the jacket according to care instructions and then tumble dry on a low heat setting to reactivate the existing DWR. If performance is still poor, consider reapplying a DWR treatment.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to use.
Clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or a wax (like beeswax or a candle) to the zipper teeth to ensure smooth operation.
Jacket feels clammy inside after wearing.
Ensure the jacket is properly zipped up and the hood is adjusted to minimize drafts. If heavy sweating occurred, the internal moisture may be exceeding the fabric's breathability capacity. Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt can impede breathability.
Jacket arrived with a small tear or seam issue.
Contact the retailer or manufacturer immediately to inquire about a return or exchange, as this may be a manufacturing defect.
