FAQs
What does 'Isotex 15000' mean?
Isotex 15000 refers to Regatta's proprietary waterproof and breathable fabric technology. '15000' indicates the hydrostatic head rating in millimeters, meaning the fabric can withstand a column of water 15,000mm high before leaking, signifying good to excellent waterproofing. It also denotes a breathability rating, allowing moisture vapor to escape.
Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?
Yes, the jacket is designed to be waterproof and windproof, providing a good outer shell. For cold weather, you can layer insulating clothing such as fleece or down jackets underneath to enhance warmth.
How do I re-waterproof the jacket?
You can use a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray or a wash-in product specifically designed for outdoor apparel. Always follow the product's instructions and clean the jacket according to care guidelines before application.
Is the hood adjustable?
The jacket features a detachable hood. While the specific adjustment points may vary, typically hoods on this type of jacket include drawcords or adjusters to achieve a snug fit around the face.
What kind of outdoor activities is this jacket best suited for?
This jacket is ideal for hiking, trekking, climbing, and general outdoor adventures where protection from rain and wind is necessary. Its durable and waterproof features make it reliable in challenging weather conditions.
How should I clean the jacket if it gets muddy?
For mud, allow it to dry first, then brush off as much as possible. Wash the jacket according to the care instructions (usually a 40°C gentle cycle with pure soap) to remove remaining dirt and restore fabric performance.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is leaking water
Ensure all seams are properly taped and intact. If the fabric treatment has worn off, consider re-waterproofing using a suitable spray or wash-in product. Check that all zippers and closures are fully sealed.
Jacket feels clammy or not breathable
Ensure the inner lining is clean and free from debris. Check that the jacket's vents (if any) are open. If worn with non-breathable layers underneath, this can affect overall breathability. Wash according to care instructions to restore fabric performance.
Zipper is difficult to use
Gently try to move the zipper. If it feels stuck on fabric, carefully pull the fabric away from the zipper teeth. If debris is present, clean the zipper with a small brush. Lubricate with a wax-based product if necessary.
Hood is not securely attached
Ensure the zipper for the detachable hood is fully engaged and correctly aligned. Check for any obstructions on the zipper track.
