Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Lyle IV Packaway Jacket in Yellow (Medium) is designed for adult males seeking a reliable, waterproof, and breathable outer layer for outdoor activities. Its key benefit is protection from rain while remaining comfortable and packable for convenience. A potential caveat is that while waterproof, it is intended for general rain protection and not extreme deluge conditions. This jacket features Isolite 15000 fabric and taped seams for effective waterproofing and breathability, along with a packaway pocket that converts the jacket into a compact belt bag.

FAQs
What does 'Isolite 15000' mean?
Isolite 15000 refers to Regatta's own fabric technology, indicating a hydrostatic head rating of 15000mm, which signifies excellent waterproof protection, and good breathability.
How do I clean the jacket?
You can machine wash the jacket on a gentle cycle at 40°C with liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softener and bleach. Do not dry clean.
Can I put this jacket in the dryer?
Yes, you can tumble dry the jacket on a low heat setting. For best results and to prolong the life of the waterproof treatment, air drying is also recommended.
How does the packaway feature work?
The jacket can be folded down and stuffed into a dedicated pocket, which then fastens to become a compact belt bag for easy storage and transport.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The jacket is primarily designed for rain and wind protection. It is lightweight and does not offer significant insulation. For very cold weather, you would need to wear insulating layers underneath.
What is the warranty period for this jacket?
Product warranty information is typically found on the retailer's website or the manufacturer's official documentation. Please refer to those sources for specific warranty details.
How often should I re-proof the jacket?
It is recommended to re-proof the jacket every 6-12 months, or whenever you notice water is no longer beading on the surface and is instead soaking into the fabric. Regular cleaning also helps maintain its performance.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may have worn off. Clean the jacket and re-apply a suitable re-proofer spray or wash-in treatment following product instructions.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or graphite from a pencil to the zipper teeth for smoother operation.
Jacket feels clammy inside
Ensure the jacket is properly ventilated by opening zippers or vents if available. If the issue persists, it might indicate a buildup of residue on the fabric, requiring cleaning. Ensure you are not overheating by adjusting layers underneath.
Packaway pocket is difficult to use
Ensure the jacket is folded neatly and compactly before attempting to stuff it into the pocket. Check for any external items obstructing the pocket.
