FAQs
What does Isotex 10000 mean?
Isotex 10000 refers to the hydrostatic head rating, indicating the fabric can withstand the pressure of 10,000mm of water before leaking. It also signifies a breathability rating of 10,000g/m²/24 hours.
Can I wash this jacket in a washing machine?
Yes, the jacket can be machine washed at 30°C using a mild liquid detergent. Avoid bleach, fabric softener, and high heat drying.
Is the hood removable?
Yes, the hood is detachable and can be adjusted with a drawstring for a better fit.
How do I maintain the jacket's water repellency?
After washing, or when water no longer beads on the surface, re-apply a DWR treatment according to the product's instructions to restore its water-repellent properties.
What is the benefit of the mesh lining?
The mesh lining enhances breathability and comfort by creating a small air gap between your skin and the waterproof fabric, reducing clamminess.
Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?
This jacket provides excellent protection against wind and rain. For cold weather, it is designed to be layered over warm insulation like fleece or down jackets.
Are there other sizes available?
Yes, the Regatta Oakhowe Waterproof Jacket is available in a range of sizes. Please refer to the product listing for specific size availability.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer fully waterproof.
Re-apply a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment to the outer fabric. Ensure all seams are intact and the fabric is clean before treatment.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and water. Apply a graphite pencil lead or a small amount of wax to the teeth for smoother operation.
Jacket feels clammy inside.
Ensure the jacket is not overly layered underneath for the conditions. Check that the breathability is not compromised by dirt or residue; clean the jacket according to care instructions. Ensure vents (if any) are open.
Hood adjustment drawstring is frayed.
Carefully trim any frayed ends and consider using a lighter to seal synthetic fibers, or replace the drawstring.
