Regatta Hamara IV Waterproof Jacket - Blue

Isotex 15000 refers to Regatta's waterproof and breathable technology. The '15000' rating indicates that the fabric can withstand a water column of 15,000 millimeters and has a breathability rating of 15,000 g/m²/24 hours, meaning it's highly effective at keeping water out while allowing internal moisture vapor to escape.

If water no longer beads up on the surface of the fabric and instead soaks in, it's time to re-proof. You may also notice a decrease in breathability. Check the care label and follow the recommended re-proofing procedure.

This jacket is primarily designed for waterproof protection. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer insulating clothing, such as fleece or down jackets, underneath.

The Hamara IV jacket features a grown-on technical wire-peaked hood, meaning it is attached to the jacket and not detachable.

The wire peak should be kept clean by wiping it with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning materials that could damage the fabric or the wire structure.

The product information does not specify the exact dimensions of the inner zipped security pocket, but it is designed to hold small essentials like a phone or wallet.

Ensure all seams are properly taped and not damaged. Re-apply a DWR finish to the outer fabric and consider a re-waterproofing treatment if leakage persists through the fabric.

Clean the zipper teeth with a brush and water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper teeth for smoother operation.

Ensure the jacket is clean and free from dirt and detergent residue, which can block pores. Wash according to care instructions. Check that ventilation features (if any) are open.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish likely needs to be reactivated or reapplied. Follow the care instructions for reactivating the DWR (often involves heat) or apply a new DWR treatment.
