Full details
The Regatta Shorebay Jacket is designed for adult males seeking reliable protection from wet weather during outdoor activities or daily commutes. Its key benefit is excellent waterproofing and breathability thanks to Isotex 15000 fabric, keeping you dry and comfortable. A potential caveat is that while designed for general outdoor use, it may not be sufficient for extreme mountaineering conditions.

FAQs
What is Isotex 15000?
Isotex 15000 is Regatta's own technical fabric that is waterproof, breathable, and windproof. The '15000' refers to its hydrostatic head rating, indicating its ability to withstand water pressure and its breathability measurement.
Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?
Yes, the jacket is designed to be waterproof and windproof, providing a good outer layer. For colder temperatures, it is recommended to wear insulating layers underneath, such as a fleece or thermal top.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash at 30°C with a liquid detergent, do not use fabric softener, and tumble dry on a low heat setting. Always follow the specific care label instructions.
What does 'Durable Water Repellent finish' mean?
This is a coating applied to the outer surface of the fabric that causes water to bead up and roll off, preventing the fabric from becoming saturated and maintaining breathability.
How often should I re-proof the jacket?
Re-proofing is recommended after several washes or when you notice water is no longer beading effectively on the surface. Using a wash-in or spray-on proofer after washing and drying will restore this feature.
What is the benefit of the mesh lining?
The mesh lining enhances breathability and comfort by allowing air to circulate between the jacket and your skin, helping to wick away moisture.
Does the hood adjust?
Yes, the grown-on hood features drawcords, allowing you to adjust its fit for better protection against wind and rain.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer fully waterproof.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Re-apply a DWR treatment following product instructions after washing and drying the jacket.
Jacket feels damp inside during heavy rain.
Ensure all seams are properly taped. Check for any damage to the fabric or tape. Consider if the activity level is generating excessive moisture for the jacket's breathability rating.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.
Clean the zippers with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Dry thoroughly and then lubricate with a graphite pencil or specialized zipper lubricant.
Jacket has an odor after use.
Wash the jacket according to the care instructions. Ensure it is thoroughly dried, as moisture can lead to odors.
