Regatta Hamara IV Hooded Waterproof Jacket - Green

Isotex 15000 refers to the fabric's technical rating, indicating it provides 15,000mm of hydrostatic head (waterproofness) and 15,000 g/m²/24 hours of breathability.

The jacket itself offers waterproof and windproof protection. For very cold weather, it is designed to be layered over insulating clothing such as fleece or down layers for added warmth.

The wire is integrated into the hood fabric and does not require separate cleaning. Follow the standard care instructions for the jacket.

Yes, the Isotex 15000 fabric with taped seams provides complete waterproof protection suitable for heavy rain during typical outdoor activities.

The primary difference is the integrated hood with a wire peak and adjusters, offering enhanced protection for the head and face against wind and rain. This version also includes an inner zipped security pocket.

Re-proofing is recommended when you notice water no longer beads effectively on the fabric surface, typically after numerous washes or significant wear. Refer to the re-proofer product instructions for frequency.

The pockets are secured with zippers, which offer good protection against light rain and splashes. They are designed to keep essentials dry during typical outdoor use, but prolonged immersion is not recommended.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and then apply a suitable re-proofer spray or wash-in treatment.

Ensure the zipper area is clean and free from debris. Gently lubricate the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Check that the garment is not excessively dirty, as dirt can impede breathability. Ensure any ventilation points (if applicable) are open. Make sure you are not overheating due to excessive layering.

Gently work the adjusters back and forth. If they are stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant designed for outdoor gear can be applied to the cord channel.
