Regatta Frankie Waterproof Jacket - Orange - L

Isotex 15000 refers to the jacket's waterproof and breathable rating. '15000' indicates that the fabric can withstand 15,000mm of water pressure in a hydrostatic head test and has a breathability rating of 15,000g/m²/24 hours.

The jacket is primarily designed for waterproof and windproof protection. While it can be layered with warmer clothing, it does not have significant insulation on its own and is best suited for mild to cool wet weather.

The hood has drawcords that can be tightened or loosened to adjust the fit around your face for optimal protection from wind and rain.

The jacket itself is waterproof and has taped seams. The lower pockets are zipped for protection, but it's advisable not to store sensitive electronics in them during heavy downpours for extended periods, though they offer good protection for everyday items.

After washing, it's recommended to use a fabric re-waterproofer and tumble dry on a low setting to help reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish.

The drawcord hem adjustment allows you to cinch the bottom of the jacket to prevent wind and rain from entering from below, helping to keep you warmer and drier.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need replenishing. Clean the jacket and then apply a fabric re-waterproofer according to product instructions.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and mild soap. Apply a graphite pencil lead or wax to the teeth to help them glide smoothly.

Ensure the jacket is clean. Dirt and residue can clog the pores of the breathable membrane. Follow the care instructions for washing.

Check if the seams are properly taped. If taping appears damaged or detached, professional repair might be necessary.
