Regatta Hamara IV Hooded Waterproof Jacket - Blue - Size: 12

Isotex 15000 refers to the fabric's performance rating, indicating it is waterproof to a hydrostatic head of 15,000mm and breathable to 15,000 g/m²/24 hours. This signifies good protection against rain and allows body moisture vapor to escape.

This jacket is designed for waterproof and windproof protection. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer it over insulating mid-layers such as fleece or down jackets.

The wire in the hood is integrated into the fabric. Cleaning should follow the general care instructions for the jacket. Avoid trying to manipulate or remove the wire.

The pockets are zippered for security and offer a good level of protection against light rain. However, they are not designed to be fully submersible, so sensitive items should be protected further if expecting heavy rain or submersion.

The adjustable shock cord hem allows you to cinch the bottom of the jacket tighter, preventing wind and rain from entering from below and helping to trap warmth.

The frequency depends on usage and washing. It's advisable to re-apply a DWR treatment when you notice water is no longer beading on the fabric surface during use, or after several washes.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Wash the jacket according to care instructions and then re-apply a suitable DWR treatment, following the product's specific guidelines.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and some water. If still stiff, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or wax to the teeth.

Ensure the cord locks are properly engaged. If they are not holding, check for damage to the cord or lock mechanism.

While the jacket is breathable, excessive moisture buildup can occur with high exertion. Ensure you are wearing breathable base layers and manage your activity level. Check that the jacket's vents (if any) are not obstructed.
