Full details
This guide is for adults seeking a reliable, waterproof, and windproof jacket for outdoor activities. The key benefit is advanced weather protection with Thermo-Guard insulation. A potential caveat is that while waterproof, heavy prolonged downpours may eventually test its limits. The Regatta Waterproof Jacket Balaton is constructed from 100% Polyester with a Thermo-Guard insulation and taffeta lining, featuring Isotex 15000 fabric technology for excellent breathability and waterproofing. It includes practical features like multiple zip pockets, adjustable cuffs and hem, and a technical hood, making it suitable for diverse weather conditions.

FAQs
What is the waterproof rating of this jacket?
The jacket features Isotex 15000 fabric, meaning it has a waterproof rating of 15,000mm and a breathability rating of 15,000g/m²/24hrs.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold winter conditions?
The jacket includes Thermo-Guard insulation which provides warmth, but for extreme cold, layering with additional warm clothing underneath is recommended.
How do I find the right size?
Please refer to the size guide provided, which lists chest measurements for each available size from S to 5XL. For example, size M is listed as 40 inches.
Can I wash this jacket in a washing machine?
Yes, you can machine wash the jacket at 30°C using a mild process and similar colours. Avoid bleach, ironing, and dry cleaning.
What does the DWR finish do?
DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. This finish helps water bead up and roll off the surface of the fabric, preventing it from soaking in and maintaining the jacket's breathability.
Are there many pockets for storage?
Yes, the jacket is equipped with practical storage options, including two lower zip pockets, two chest zip pockets, and one internal zip pocket.
Is this jacket made from sustainable materials?
Yes, this jacket is made from recycled materials, contributing to a more sustainable approach to outdoor apparel.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer shedding water effectively
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket and reapply a DWR treatment according to the product instructions.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a mild soap solution. Dry thoroughly and apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax stick to the teeth.
Jacket feels clammy or sweaty inside
Ensure the jacket is not too tight, as this can restrict airflow. Check that all vents and closures are adjusted appropriately for maximum breathability. Also, consider the layers worn underneath; moisture-wicking base layers are recommended.
Seams appear to be leaking water
The Isotex 15000 rating applies to the fabric. Seam sealing is crucial for full waterproofness. Inspect seam tapes for damage and consider professional seam sealing if leaks persist.
