FAQs
What does 'Isotex 15000' mean?
Isotex 15000 is a Regatta branded waterproof and breathable fabric technology. The '15000' refers to its hydrostatic head rating, indicating it can withstand 15,000mm of water pressure, and its breathability rating (MVTR - Moisture Vapor Transmission Rate).
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart, typically available on their website or product pages. Measure your chest and compare it to the chart for the best fit. This jacket is designed for men.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The jacket provides waterproof and windproof protection, but it is not heavily insulated. For very cold conditions, it's best worn as an outer layer over insulating garments like fleece or down.
Can I machine wash the jacket?
Yes, you can machine wash the jacket at 40°C with similar colors. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Refer to the care label for specific instructions.
What kind of pockets does it have?
The jacket typically features secure pockets, designed to keep your belongings safe and dry while you are outdoors.
How often should I reapply the water-repellent finish?
The frequency depends on usage and care. It's recommended to reapply a DWR treatment when you notice water is no longer beading on the surface, typically after several washes or extensive use.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer beading water effectively.
The water-repellent finish may need to be reapplied. Follow the care instructions to wash the jacket and then apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment suitable for outdoor gear.
Jacket feels damp on the inside after prolonged wear.
Ensure the jacket is zipped up completely and that any hood adjustments are made to seal out wind and rain. For very high exertion activities, consider wearing moisture-wicking base layers to help manage internal moisture.
Seams appear to be leaking.
Check if the jacket has fully taped seams. If issues persist, contact customer support as seam tape can sometimes degrade over time.
