Regatta Shorebay Shell Jacket - Red - XXXXL

Isotex 15000 is a waterproof and breathable fabric technology. The '15000' refers to its hydrostatic head rating, meaning it can withstand a column of water 15,000mm high before leaking, and its breathability rating, indicating how much water vapor can pass through it.

Refer to the Regatta sizing chart for men's jackets. The 'XXXXL' designation indicates a very large size. It is recommended to measure your chest, waist, and hip circumference and compare these with the provided measurements.

The jacket provides excellent protection against wind and rain. For cold weather, it is designed to be layered. You can wear a warm fleece or insulated mid-layer underneath for added warmth.

While the product description doesn't specify, many Regatta jackets feature adjustable hoods (e.g., with drawcords) for a better fit and enhanced protection. Please check the specific product details or images for confirmation.

The Shorebay line may offer variations in material weight, specific features (like pocket configurations or hood adjustability), and color/pattern options. This particular model is a shell jacket made from Isotex 15000 polyester.

The need to re-apply waterproofing depends on usage and care. Typically, after several washes or if you notice water no longer beading on the surface, it's time to re-apply a DWR treatment.

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Consider washing the jacket according to care instructions and then applying a new DWR treatment. Ensure the main fabric is not contaminated with oils or dirt.

This can indicate reduced breathability. Ensure all zippers and vents are open for maximum airflow. Check that the internal lining is clean and free from dirt or residue that could block pores. If persistent, consider a specialized technical wash.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or salt. Lubricate the zipper with a silicone-based lubricant or a graphite pencil rubbed along the teeth.
