Regatta Waterproof Matt II Jacket - Brown - XS

Isotex 15000 refers to the jacket's hydrostatic head rating, indicating it can withstand 15,000mm of water pressure. It also signifies good breathability, allowing moisture vapor to escape.

The Matt II jacket is a shell jacket designed for waterproof and windproof protection. It does not have built-in insulation but is designed to be layered over warmer clothing.

While the jacket protects against wind and rain, it does not provide significant insulation. For very cold weather, layering with thermal base layers and insulating mid-layers is recommended.

Regular washing with a suitable detergent and periodic re-application of a DWR treatment are key to maintaining the jacket's waterproof and breathable performance.

Taped seams are sealed with waterproof tape to prevent water from penetrating through the stitch holes, providing an extra layer of protection against rain.

The jacket includes a packaway hood designed for convenience. Specific adjustment features may vary, but generally, it provides coverage and can be stowed when not in use.

Ensure all seams are properly taped and that the DWR finish on the outer fabric is still active. If the DWR has worn off, re-apply a waterproofing treatment. Check for any damage to the fabric or seams.

This can indicate reduced breathability. Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the membrane pores. Wash according to care instructions and consider re-proofing if necessary.

Clean the zipper teeth with a brush and water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper teeth to ensure smooth operation.
