Isotex 20000 refers to Regatta's waterproof and breathable fabric technology. '20000' indicates its hydrostatic head rating in mm, meaning it can withstand water pressure up to 20,000mm, offering excellent protection against heavy rain.
The jacket provides waterproof and windproof protection, which is essential in cold weather. However, it is a shell layer and does not provide significant insulation. Layering with warm mid-layers is recommended for very cold conditions.

While durable and functional, its technical design makes it ideal for outdoor activities. For casual everyday wear, it might be more protection than needed, but it can certainly be worn if desired.
Isotex 10000 offers good waterproofing and breathability, suitable for lighter rain and moderate activity. Isotex 20000 provides a significantly higher level of waterproofing and breathability, making it better suited for prolonged exposure to heavy rain and strenuous activities.
