Isotex 15000 indicates that the fabric is waterproof to a hydrostatic head of 15,000mm and has a breathability rating of 15,000g/m²/24 hours. This means it can withstand significant water pressure and allows a good amount of moisture vapor to escape.
The jacket features 120 g/m² Thermoguard insulation, which is designed to provide significant warmth for cold weather activities without excessive bulk.
While it offers protection, the insulation makes it best suited for cooler or cold weather. In mild or warm conditions, it might be too warm, and you might prefer a lighter, non-insulated jacket.
The frequency depends on usage and care. It's recommended to reapply a DWR treatment after washing, especially if you notice water is no longer beading on the surface. Typically, this might be every few washes or as needed based on performance.
Yes, the Regatta Balaton jacket is available in various colors and sizes. Please check the product listings for the full range.
The stiff peak on the technical hood helps to direct rain and snow away from your face, improving visibility and keeping you drier in adverse weather conditions.
Always use a liquid detergent specifically for waterproof technical wear and wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and powder detergents. Rinse twice and tumble dry on a low setting to reactivate the DWR finish.
Ensure the DWR treatment is reapplied. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and reactivate the DWR by tumble drying on a low heat setting. Check that all seams are intact.
Gently try to move the zipper. Apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or a candle) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
This could be due to poor breathability if the jacket is very dirty or if the DWR is not functioning. Clean the jacket thoroughly and reapply DWR. Ensure you are wearing breathable base layers underneath.
Check that the internal wire is not bent or damaged. Ensure the cord locks are functioning correctly. Clean any debris from the hood adjustment cords.
