Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Brianka Jacket is designed for adult women seeking reliable protection from rainy weather during everyday wear. Its key benefit is the combination of waterproof and breathable Isotex 15000 fabric with a longline cut for extended coverage. A potential caveat is that while designed for everyday wear, its technical features might be more suited for moderate rather than extreme conditions.

FAQs

What does 'Isotex 15000' mean?

Isotex 15000 refers to Regatta's own waterproof and breathable fabric technology. '15000' indicates a hydrostatic head rating of 15,000mm (waterproofness) and a breathability rating of 15,000g/m²/24 hours (how much water vapor can pass through).

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The jacket provides waterproof and windproof protection, which helps in cold weather. However, it is not insulated. For very cold conditions, layering with warm mid-layers is recommended.

How often should I re-apply the DWR finish?

The frequency of reapplication depends on usage and care. Typically, it's recommended every few washes or when you notice water is no longer beading up on the fabric surface.

Can I wear this jacket for high-intensity activities like hiking in heavy rain?

While the jacket is breathable, it's primarily designed for everyday wear and moderate outdoor activities. For high-intensity activities in heavy rain, a jacket with a higher breathability rating and more technical features might be more suitable.

What is the difference between this jacket and a shell jacket?

The Brianka jacket is a waterproof and breathable outer layer. A shell jacket is a similar concept, often referring to a protective outer layer designed to be worn over other garments. This jacket fits within that category, emphasizing everyday protection.

Does the jacket have a packable design?

The product information does not specify a packable design. It is a standard longline jacket.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is leaking water.

Ensure all seams are intact and zippers are fully closed. The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need reapplication. Consult the 'Care Instructions' for re-waterproofing advice.

Reduced breathability or feeling clammy inside.

Check that the inner lining is clean. Lint or dirt can obstruct breathability. Wash the jacket according to the care instructions using a specialized technical wash.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Clean the zipper teeth gently with a damp cloth and a mild soap. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or a graphite pencil to the teeth for smoother operation.

Hood drawcord is not tightening effectively.

Check the cord lock mechanism for debris. Ensure the cord is threaded correctly through the eyelets and the lock. If the cord is frayed, it may need replacing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof and breathable performance for everyday rain.
  • The longline cut provides superior coverage.
  • Comfortable fit with features that allow for movement.
  • Practical storage with zipped pockets.
  • Durable water repellent finish adds an extra layer of protection.

Cons

  • May not be sufficient for extreme weather conditions.
  • Breathability rating, while good, might be surpassed by highly specialized technical gear.
  • Primarily designed for women, limiting options for other demographics.
  • Material composition is primarily polyester, which may not appeal to all users.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: The jacket requires no specific setup. It is ready to wear straight out of the packaging. Ensure all zippers are fully closed before use to maximize water resistance.

Compatibility: This jacket is designed for adult women. It pairs well with casual wear, activewear, and is suitable for various outdoor activities like walking, commuting, and general day-to-day use in wet weather.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle.
  2. Bleaching: Do not bleach.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry.
  4. Ironing: Do not iron.
  5. Washing Agents: Do not use fabric softeners or harsh detergents, as these can impair the fabric's waterproof and breathable properties. It is recommended to use a specific technical wash for outdoor gear. Re-waterproofing treatments may be applied periodically following product instructions to maintain performance.
