FAQs

What does Isotex 15000 mean?

Isotex 15000 refers to Regatta's waterproof and breathable fabric technology. '15000' indicates a hydrostatic head rating of 15,000mm (waterproofness) and a breathability rating of 15,000g/m²/24 hours.

How do I maintain the waterproof properties?

Regular washing with mild detergent (no fabric softener) and occasional tumble drying on low heat helps maintain the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish. Reapplying a DWR treatment periodically will further enhance water repellency.

Can this jacket be worn in very cold weather?

The jacket itself is designed for waterproofing and wind resistance. For very cold weather, it is best used as an outer shell layered over insulating mid-layers like fleece or down jackets.

Is the hood adjustable?

Yes, the grown-on hood features drawcords that allow you to adjust the fit for better protection against wind and rain.

What is the difference between this jacket and a shell jacket?

This jacket functions as a waterproof and breathable shell. It protects you from the elements but does not provide significant insulation on its own, making it ideal for layering.

Are the pockets waterproof?

The pockets are zipped, which provides a good level of protection against light rain and splashes. However, they are not designed to be submersible or fully waterproof like dry bags.

What is the material of the lining?

The jacket features a 100% polyester mesh lining for breathability, with 100% polyester taffeta lining in the sleeves for smoother entry.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer shedding water effectively.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Wash the jacket according to care instructions and then tumble dry on a low heat setting to reactivate the DWR. If effectiveness is still low, consider applying a new DWR treatment specifically designed for outdoor apparel.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and water. Lubricate the zipper with graphite from a pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Jacket feels clammy inside, even though it's not raining.

This can be due to trapped moisture from perspiration. Ensure the jacket is properly ventilated by opening zippers if possible. The breathability rating is suitable for moderate activity; for very high exertion, more specialized gear might be needed. Check that the inner mesh lining is clean.

Water seems to be leaking through seams.

Verify that all seams are properly taped and intact. If the taping appears damaged, it may indicate a manufacturing defect or wear and tear. Contact customer support if the jacket is under warranty.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof and breathable performance for varied weather conditions.
  • Durable construction with taped seams for long-lasting protection.
  • Multiple secure pockets for carrying essentials.
  • Comfortable lining promotes breathability.
  • Adjustable hood and cuffs for a customized fit.

Cons

  • May be bulkier than highly technical or packable rain jackets.
  • Striped pattern might not suit all aesthetic preferences.
  • Breathability rating is good but may not be sufficient for very high-intensity activities.
  • Material is polyester, which might not be as soft as natural fibers for some users.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This jacket requires no assembly. Simply unpack and wear. Ensure all zippers are fully closed before heading out.

Compatibility: Designed for adult males, available in various sizes (XXL in this specific listing). It is suitable for layering over base and mid-layers for added warmth.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30°C with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can impair the fabric's water-repellent properties.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry. For best results in restoring the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, tumble dry on low after washing.
  4. Re-proofing: For optimal water repellency, re-apply a DWR treatment periodically, following the product's instructions.
