FAQs
Is the Regatta Bayletta II jacket fully waterproof?
Yes, it features Isotex 10000 fabric with taped seams and a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, providing reliable waterproof protection against rain.
Is this jacket suitable for cold weather?
The Bayletta II is a waterproof and breathable shell, not primarily insulated for warmth. For cold weather, it's recommended to wear it with insulating layers underneath, such as a fleece or thermal top.
How do I clean my Bayletta II jacket?
Always check the care label first. Generally, machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle using a technical cleaner for waterproof garments. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Line dry or tumble dry on low heat.
Does it have pockets for my belongings?
Yes, the jacket includes two lower pockets with branded snap fastenings for essentials and an internal security pocket for valuables like your phone or keys.
Can I adjust the hood and cuffs?
Absolutely. The hood comes with adjustable drawcords for a customizable fit, and the cuffs feature hook & loop fastening for easy adjustment to seal out weather.
What is Isotex 10000?
Isotex 10000 refers to Regatta's waterproof and breathable fabric technology, indicating a hydrostatic head of 10,000mm and a breathability rating of 10,000g/m²/24hrs, meaning it effectively keeps rain out while allowing internal moisture to escape.
Is this jacket made with sustainable materials?
Yes, the Regatta Bayletta II jacket is made with recycled content, contributing to a more environmentally conscious production.
Troubleshooting
Water is soaking into the fabric instead of beading off.
This indicates the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish needs to be reactivated or reapplied. Wash the jacket according to care instructions and then tumble dry on a low heat setting to reactivate the DWR. If this doesn't work, apply a new DWR treatment product.
The jacket feels clammy or less breathable.
Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can block the breathable membrane. Wash the jacket with a technical cleaner designed for waterproof garments. Also, check that you are not overdressing underneath, as excessive perspiration can overwhelm the jacket's breathability.
The hood doesn't stay in place or offers insufficient protection.
Adjust the drawcords on the hood to customize the fit around your face and head. Make sure they are cinched snugly but comfortably to prevent wind and rain intrusion. If the drawcords are loose or stretched, they may need adjusting or replacing.
Cuffs feel too loose, letting in drafts or water.
Utilize the hook & loop fastening on the cuffs. Ensure they are securely tightened around your wrist or gloves to create a seal against the elements. If the hook & loop is worn, it may not hold as effectively.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
The Regatta Bayletta II jacket requires minimal 'setup'. Simply put it on! Adjust the drawcords on the hood to achieve a snug fit that protects against wind and rain. Use the hook & loop fastenings on the cuffs to secure them around your wrists, preventing drafts and water entry. The adjustable drawcord at the hem can be tightened to seal out cold air.
Compatibility
This jacket is designed as an outer shell, making it highly compatible with various layering systems. For colder weather, wear it over a fleece or insulated mid-layer. In milder conditions, a simple t-shirt or light long-sleeved top will suffice. Its versatile design pairs well with both casual and more active wear.
Care
Proper care is crucial to maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable performance. Always refer to the care label for specific instructions, but general guidelines for waterproof polyester include:
- Washing: Machine wash cool (typically 30°C or 40°C) on a gentle cycle with a technical wash designed for waterproof fabrics. Avoid using biological detergents, fabric softeners, or bleach, as these can impair the fabric's performance and DWR finish.
- Drying: Line dry or tumble dry on a low heat setting. Avoid high heat, which can damage the waterproof membrane. Ensure the garment is completely dry before storing.
- DWR Reapplication: Over time, the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may wear off, causing the fabric to 'wet out'. You can restore this by cleaning the jacket and then applying a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment specifically designed for waterproof outerwear.
