Regatta Women's Waterproof Bayletta Jacket - Beige - Size: 8

Isotex 15000 is a waterproof and breathable fabric technology used by Regatta. The '15000' refers to its hydrostatic head rating, indicating its ability to withstand 15,000mm of water pressure before leaking, providing excellent protection against rain.

Refer to the Regatta size guide for women's jackets. It's recommended to measure your chest and waist and compare them to the guide. Some customers find this jacket runs slightly large, so consulting the measurements is advised.

The jacket is primarily designed for waterproof protection. It is not insulated. For cold weather, it's recommended to layer a warm fleece or jumper underneath for added insulation.

Follow the care instructions carefully. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Tumble drying on a low heat can help reactivate the DWR finish. If performance diminishes over time, consider applying a specific outdoor fabric re-proofer.

The product description does not specify if the hood is detachable. Typically, adjustable hoods on this type of jacket are fixed but can be drawn in for a snugger fit.

It's ideal for everyday practical use, including city strolls, daily commutes, weekend outings, and light outdoor activities where protection from rain is needed.

Ensure all zippers are fully closed and that the taped seams are intact. Check care label to ensure correct washing procedures were followed, as improper washing can affect water repellency. Consider re-applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish if the jacket is old and heavily worn.

Avoid using fabric softener, as it can clog the pores of the fabric and reduce breathability and water repellency. Ensure you tumble dry on a low heat setting after washing, as this can help reactivate the DWR treatment.

Gently try to move the zipper. If it catches on fabric, carefully pull the fabric away. Ensure the zipper area is clean. A small amount of wax or silicone lubricant can help smooth operation if needed.
