FAQs
What does 'Isotex 15000' mean?
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.
How do I know if I need to re-proof my jacket?
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.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
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.
Is the hood detachable?
The Hamara IV jacket features a grown-on technical wire-peaked hood, meaning it is attached to the jacket and not detachable.
How should I clean the wire peak on the hood?
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.
What are the dimensions of the inner zipped security pocket?
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.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is leaking water.
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.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Clean the zipper teeth with a brush and water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper teeth for smoother operation.
Reduced breathability or feeling clammy inside.
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.
Jacket no longer repels water effectively (water soaks into fabric).
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.
