Regatta Daledon Jacket - Green - XXL

Isotex 15000 is a Regatta branded waterproof and breathable fabric technology. The '15000' indicates a hydrostatic head rating of 15,000mm, meaning it can withstand water pressure up to that level, and a breathability rating of 15,000g/m²/24hrs, indicating how much water vapor can pass through the fabric.

Regular washing with a specific technical wash and reapplying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment after washing are key to maintaining the jacket's waterproof capabilities. Avoid fabric softeners and detergents that can clog the fabric's pores.

The Daledon jacket is primarily a waterproof shell. While it offers wind protection, it does not have significant insulation. For cold weather, layering appropriate thermal clothing underneath is recommended.

Waterproofing means the fabric is designed to prevent water from penetrating, often with sealed seams and higher hydrostatic head ratings, like the Isotex 15000. Water resistance means the fabric can repel light water for a limited time but will eventually soak through.

Yes, the jacket features an internal security pocket, a zipped chest pocket, and two lower welt pockets that have a dual zipped entrance system for added security of your belongings.

Machine wash at 30°C with a liquid detergent, rinse twice, and tumble dry on a low heat setting. Do not use bleach or fabric softener.

'Grown-on hood' means the hood is permanently attached to the main body of the jacket, rather than being detachable or a separate component.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment according to the product instructions after washing and drying the jacket.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a mild soap. Ensure no debris is caught. Apply a wax-based lubricant (like a candle or specialized zipper lubricant) to the teeth.

Ensure all vents and adjusters (hood, cuffs) are set correctly to allow for airflow. Check that the inner layers of clothing are not trapping moisture. The jacket is breathable, but extreme exertion can still lead to some internal moisture.

Verify that the taped seams are intact and not peeling. If damage is present, professional repair may be needed. Ensure the jacket has been washed and cared for according to instructions, as residue can affect performance.
