Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Oakhowe Waterproof Jacket is designed for men seeking reliable protection against wet and windy conditions during outdoor activities. Its key benefit lies in its robust waterproofing and breathability, ensuring comfort during strenuous hikes or everyday wear. A potential consideration is that while highly water-resistant, extreme prolonged deluges might test its limits over time. This jacket offers Isotex 15000 protection, taped seams, a detachable hood, and is constructed from 100% recycled polyester.

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The jacket provides waterproof and windproof protection, but it is not heavily insulated. For very cold weather, layering with warm base and mid-layers is recommended.

How do I clean the jacket to maintain its waterproofness?

Machine wash at 30°C with a mild liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. After washing and drying, you can apply a suitable re-waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment to restore the durable water repellent (DWR) finish.

Can the hood be completely removed?

Yes, the hood is detachable and can be removed from the jacket if desired.

What does 'Isotex 15000' mean?

Isotex 15000 is Regatta's own fabric technology that indicates a hydrostatic head of 15,000mm (waterproofness) and a breathability rating of 10,000g/m²/24 hours.

Are the materials environmentally friendly?

Yes, the jacket is made from 100% recycled polyester, making it a more sustainable choice.

How should I adjust the cuffs?

The cuffs feature adjustable tabs, typically with hook-and-loop fasteners, allowing you to tighten them around your wrists to keep out wind and rain.

What is the benefit of the mesh lining?

The mesh lining helps to improve air circulation inside the jacket, making it feel less sticky and more comfortable against the skin, especially during physical activity.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is leaking water

Ensure all seams are taped correctly. Check for any damage to the fabric or seams. Consider a reproofing treatment if the water repellency has diminished.

Jacket feels clammy or not breathable

Ensure you are not overheating. The breathability rating is suitable for moderate activity; for very high exertion in humid conditions, a more specialized garment might be needed. Check that vents (if any) are open and that the garment is not layered too heavily underneath.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use

Clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and try lubricating it with a graphite pencil or a silicone-based lubricant.

Hood adjustment is not holding

Ensure the drawcord is properly threaded through the toggles and that the toggles are securely fastened.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproofing and breathability for comfort.
  • Durable construction with taped seams for longevity.
  • Made from sustainable, recycled materials.
  • Versatile with a detachable and adjustable hood.
  • Practical storage with multiple zipped pockets.

Cons

  • May not be suitable for extreme, prolonged downpours.
  • The mesh lining might feel less premium than a solid lining to some users.
  • Breathability rating, while good, might be surpassed by high-exertion activities in very humid conditions.
