FAQs

What does 'Isotex Stretch 20000' mean?

Isotex Stretch 20000 is Regatta's technology that provides waterproof and breathable protection, rated at 20,000mm for water resistance and 20,000 g/m²/24 hours for breathability. The 'Stretch' indicates the fabric has added elasticity for better movement.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The jacket itself is primarily designed for waterproofing and breathability. For very cold weather, layering with insulating garments like fleece or down is recommended underneath.

Can I wear this jacket in high winds?

Yes, the jacket offers good protection against wind due to its sealed seams and adjustable features, making it suitable for windy conditions.

How often should I re-waterproof the jacket?

Re-waterproofing is recommended when you notice water is no longer beading and rolling off the fabric surface, typically after several washes or extensive use in wet conditions.

What is the difference between the 'water-repellent' zip and a 'waterproof' zip?

Water-repellent zippers are designed to resist water penetration, but they may not offer the same level of protection as fully waterproof zippers found on higher-spec garments. They are suitable for keeping moderate moisture out.

Is the hood adjustable?

Yes, the integrated technical hood features adjustment features to ensure a secure and customized fit.

What materials are used in the jacket's construction?

The jacket is made from 100% recycled polyester fabric (165 g/m²) with a partly taffeta and partly brushed mesh lining. The sleeve lining is 100% recycled polyester (60 g/m²).

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer repelling water effectively.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket thoroughly and apply a re-waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment designed for outdoor apparel.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to close.

Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a little water. Apply a graphite pencil to the teeth or use a specialized zipper lubricant.

Jacket feels less breathable than before.

The fabric may be clogged with dirt or detergent residue. Wash the jacket using a technical cleaner or a small amount of liquid detergent, and rinse thoroughly. Avoid fabric softeners.

Seams appear to be leaking.

Ensure all zippers and closures are fully fastened. If leakage persists, the seam taping may be damaged, which may require professional repair or replacement of the jacket.

Pros and Cons

  • Durable construction with high-quality Isotex fabric.
  • Designed for mobility with articulated sleeves.
  • Multiple secure, water-repellent pockets for storage.
  • Made from 100% recycled polyester for environmental consciousness.
  • Adjustable features for a customizable and secure fit.

Cons

  • May be over-engineered for casual, light-duty use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This jacket requires no setup; it is ready to wear out of the packaging.

Compatibility: Designed for adult males, suitable for pairing with other outdoor gear such as hiking boots, backpacks, and base layers. The XXL sizing is intended to accommodate layering for warmth.

Care Instructions: To maintain the jacket's performance:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30°C with a mild detergent. Do not bleach.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low setting or hang dry. Do not use heat to dry.
  3. Ironing: Do not iron. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can impair the fabric's breathability and water-repellent properties.
  4. Re-waterproofing: Periodically, especially after several washes, apply a re-waterproofing treatment suitable for technical outdoor fabrics to restore the durable water-repellent (DWR) finish.
