Regatta Birchdale II Waterproof Jacket - Brown - Size: 22

Isotex 15000 refers to the fabric's waterproof and breathable rating. The "15000" indicates a hydrostatic head of 15,000mm, meaning it can withstand 15,000mm of water pressure before it leaks, offering high levels of waterproofing. It also signifies excellent breathability.

If water is no longer beading off, the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating needs attention. First, wash the jacket using a technical cleaner. Then, either tumble dry on a low heat setting to reactivate the existing DWR or apply a new DWR treatment, available as a spray or wash-in product.

Clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and mild soap, then apply a zipper lubricant or wax. Ensure the inner zip guard is not caught in the zipper mechanism.

While seams are taped, extreme wear or damage can compromise them. Inspect for visible damage. If a specific seam is leaking, a seam sealant can be applied, or professional repair may be needed. Ensure the jacket is clean and the DWR is active.
