FAQs

What does 'Isotex 20000' mean?

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.

Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold?

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.

How often should I re-waterproof the jacket?

It is recommended to re-waterproof the jacket periodically, typically after several washes or when you notice water is no longer beading on the surface and is being absorbed by the fabric.

Can I wear this jacket for everyday use?

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.

What is the difference between Isotex 20000 and 10000?

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.

Is the hood adjustable?

Yes, the jacket features a technical hood that is designed to be adjustable, allowing you to customize the fit for optimal protection against wind and rain while maintaining visibility.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer fully waterproof

Ensure the garment is clean and free of detergent residue. Re-apply a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment following product instructions. Check that all seams are intact.

Reduced breathability or feeling clammy inside

Clean the jacket thoroughly to remove any dirt or body oils that may be blocking the membrane's pores. Ensure the washing cycle did not use fabric softener.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Clean the zipper teeth gently with a soft brush and water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or beeswax to the zipper teeth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions: To maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable properties:

  1. Washing: Machine wash inside out at 30°C (86°F) using a mild liquid detergent. Do not use powder detergents, bleach, or fabric softeners.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent residue.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry away from direct heat sources. It is recommended to re-proof the jacket periodically after washing to restore its durable water-repellent finish. Follow the instructions on your chosen re-proofer product.
