Regatta Bayletta Hooded Waterproof Jacket - Blue

Isotex 15000 is a type of fabric technology that offers a high level of waterproofness and breathability. The '15000' refers to its rating, meaning it can withstand 15,000mm of water pressure and allows 15,000g of water vapor to pass through per square meter in 24 hours.

The jacket is guaranteed waterproof through its Isotex 15000 fabric and taped seams. The taped seams are crucial as they seal the stitching lines, preventing water from entering through these common weak points.

The jacket itself offers basic insulation via its lining. For colder temperatures, it is designed to be layered over warmer clothing like fleeces or sweaters to provide adequate warmth.

It is recommended to use a mild liquid detergent. Avoid using powder detergents or bleach, as these can damage the fabric's waterproof and breathable properties.

Re-proofing is recommended when you notice water is no longer beading on the surface and the fabric begins to 'wet out'. This frequency depends on how often and in what conditions the jacket is used, but typically every few washes or annually is a good guideline.

No, the hood is a 'grown-on' hood, meaning it is permanently attached to the jacket. It features drawcords for adjustment.

The durable water repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket thoroughly and re-apply a suitable DWR treatment according to product instructions. Ensure the taped seams are intact.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or residue. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or a graphite pencil (rubbing the lead along the teeth) to help it glide smoothly.

The fabric's breathability may be reduced due to dirt or residue buildup. Wash the jacket according to care instructions using a performance wash to remove contaminants. Ensure any internal moisture-wicking layers are clean.
