Regatta Corinne IV Waterproof Soft Shell Jacket - Red

ISOLITE 10000 refers to Regatta's waterproof and breathable fabric technology. The '10000' indicates a hydrostatic head rating of 10,000mm, meaning it can withstand 10,000mm of water pressure before leaking. It also signifies good breathability, allowing moisture vapor to escape.

The jacket is primarily designed for protection against rain and wind. While it can be layered over warmer clothing for insulation, it is not heavily insulated itself and is best suited for mild to cool conditions.

The jacket is designed to be packable. To maintain its ability to pack down efficiently, avoid overstuffing it and ensure it is clean. Over time, the fabric may relax slightly, but it should retain its packable characteristics if cared for properly.

Yes, the jacket can be machine washed at 30°C (86°F) using a mild detergent. Ensure you rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry.

Waterproof means the fabric is impenetrable to water under pressure, offering full protection. Water-resistant means the fabric can repel water to some extent but may eventually soak through in prolonged or heavy rain. The Corston IV is waterproof.

The frequency depends on usage and washing. Generally, it's recommended to re-apply when water no longer beads on the surface of the fabric. This could be after several washes or significant wear.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need refreshing. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and apply a suitable waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment, following the product's specific guidelines.

Gently try to move the zipper. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or wax along the zipper teeth to lubricate it. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper slider.

This could be due to insufficient breathability. Ensure the garment is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the membrane pores. Avoid wearing non-breathable layers underneath. If the issue persists, the DWR may need refreshing.
