FAQs

What does ISOLITE 15000 mean?

ISOLITE 15000 refers to Regatta's own fabric technology. The '15000' indicates the jacket's hydrostatic head rating, meaning it can withstand 15,000mm of water pressure before leaking, signifying good to very good waterproofing. It also denotes breathability properties.

How do I ensure the jacket remains breathable?

Proper care is key. Wash using a mild liquid detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can clog the fabric's pores. Ensure the jacket is clean and dry before storage.

Can this jacket be worn in cold weather?

This jacket is designed primarily for waterproofing and wind resistance. While you can layer insulating clothing underneath, it does not provide significant warmth on its own. It is best suited for mild to cool, wet conditions.

What is the benefit of taped seams?

Taped seams are strips of waterproof tape applied to the inside of the garment's stitching. They prevent water from seeping through the needle holes created during the sewing process, ensuring the jacket is fully waterproof.

Is the recycled polyester as durable as regular polyester?

Yes, recycled polyester generally offers comparable durability and performance to virgin polyester, while reducing the environmental impact associated with raw material production.

What is the best way to store the jacket when not in use?

The jacket is designed to pack into its own stuff sack for compact storage. Alternatively, you can hang it in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing it compressed for very long periods, as this can affect the fabric's performance over time.

Troubleshooting

Jacket not fully waterproof after washing

Ensure you used a liquid detergent and avoided fabric softener or bleach. For enhanced waterproofing, consider applying a reproofing spray suitable for technical outerwear.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to move

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and allow to dry. Apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or a Zipper lubricant) to the teeth.

Jacket feels clammy inside despite not being wet

This can occur if the jacket's breathability is compromised. Ensure the garment is clean and free from residue that might block the pores. Check that the hood and cuffs are not sealed too tightly, restricting airflow.

Packable pocket is difficult to use

Ensure the jacket is folded neatly and compactly before attempting to stuff it into its designated pocket. Sometimes, a little practice helps in achieving the most efficient fold.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof and breathable performance for changeable weather.
  • Lightweight and easily packable for travel and storage.
  • Features practical elements like a hood and elasticated cuffs for added protection.
  • Uses recycled polyester, contributing to sustainability efforts.

Cons

  • While waterproof, extreme downpours might test its limits over extended periods.
  • Sizing may vary, so checking measurements is recommended.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This jacket requires no specific setup; it is ready to wear upon purchase. It is compatible with most standard clothing items for layering underneath. To maintain its waterproof properties and appearance, follow these care instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash using a mild liquid detergent. Do not use powder detergents or bleach.
  2. Temperature: Wash on a cool or warm setting (typically 30°C or 40°C), as indicated on the care label.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. Alternatively, hang to dry away from direct heat sources.
  4. Ironing: If ironing is necessary, use a cool setting. Avoid ironing over prints or trims.
  5. Reproofing: For optimal long-term performance, consider using a waterproof reproofing spray designed for technical outerwear every 1-2 years, especially if frequent use or heavy washing occurs.
