Product Information
Full details
This Regatta Oakhowe Waterproof Jacket is designed for adult males seeking reliable protection from the elements during outdoor activities. Its key benefit is its Isotex 10000 fabric, offering excellent waterproof and breathable performance. A potential consideration is that its primary material is polyester, which may not offer the same insulation as other natural fibers in extreme cold.

FAQs
What is Isotex 10000?
Isotex 10000 is Regatta's own waterproof and breathable fabric technology. The '10000' signifies a hydrostatic head rating of 10,000mm, meaning it can withstand 10,000mm of water pressure, and a breathability rating of 10,000g/m²/24hrs, indicating how much water vapor can pass through the fabric.
Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?
Yes, but it is designed as a waterproof shell. For cold weather, it is recommended to layer a warm insulating garment, such as a fleece or down jacket, underneath to provide adequate warmth.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C with a mild liquid detergent, rinse thoroughly, and line dry away from direct heat. Do not bleach, tumble dry, or iron.
Is the hood detachable?
Yes, the jacket features a detachable hood with an adjustable drawstring.
What does 'made from recycled materials' mean for this jacket?
It means the polyester fabric used in the jacket's construction has been made from recycled sources, such as post-consumer plastic bottles, reducing the need for virgin resources.
How can I restore the water repellency if it's not working well?
You can restore the water repellency by using a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray or a wash-in treatment specifically designed for waterproof outerwear. Follow the instructions on the product you choose.
What are the pocket configurations?
The jacket has two lower zipped pockets for hand warmth or storage, and one internal zipped security pocket, ideal for keeping valuables safe.
Troubleshooting
Water is leaking through the seams.
Ensure the jacket has been washed and treated according to care instructions. If leakage persists, the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may need reapplication or the seams may require professional sealing.
Jacket feels clammy inside.
This can occur during high exertion. Ensure all vents (like cuffs and hem) are adjusted correctly to allow for airflow. Consider wearing moisture-wicking base layers. If the issue persists, the jacket may need cleaning to restore breathability.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or graphite (from a pencil) to the zipper teeth and run the slider up and down several times.
