Regatta Waterproof Birchdale II Jacket - Powder Lilac

The '20000' in Isotex 20000 refers to a hydrostatic head rating of 20,000mm, indicating a high level of waterproofing.

The jacket provides excellent wind and water resistance, but its insulation is minimal. For very cold weather, layering with warm mid-layers (like fleece) and base layers is recommended.

Store the jacket in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing it compressed for long periods, as this can affect the performance of the waterproof membrane and DWR finish. A breathable bag is ideal.

Yes, the stretch fabric and breathable design make it suitable for active pursuits like hiking, trekking, and climbing where freedom of movement is essential.

Machine wash at 30°C with a liquid detergent, rinse thoroughly, and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid fabric softener and bleach.

It's recommended to re-proof the jacket every six months or when you notice water is no longer beading on the surface. This helps maintain its waterproof performance.

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket and then apply a suitable re-proofing spray or wash-in treatment according to the product instructions.

This is likely due to internal condensation. Ensure all vents are open and consider wearing fewer or lighter base layers if you are overheating during activity.

Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a little water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax specifically designed for zippers.

Ensure the jacket's taped seams are clean and undamaged. If damage is present, professional repair may be needed. Regular washing and re-proofing can help maintain seam integrity.
