Regatta Waterproof Jacket - Striped - XL

Isotex 15000 refers to the waterproof and breathable rating of the fabric. It means the fabric can withstand a water column of 15,000 millimeters and has a breathability rating of 15,000g/m²/24 hours, indicating good performance in both wet conditions and for allowing moisture vapor to escape.

Yes, the jacket can be machine washed on a gentle cycle at 40°C (104°F) with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.

To maintain waterproofness, ensure you wash the jacket correctly without fabric softeners, and periodically reactivate the DWR finish by tumble drying on low heat. For long-term performance, consider reapplying a DWR treatment when needed.

The difference of 6gsm (grams per square meter) indicates a slight variation in fabric density or weave between different production runs or specific panels, but both fall under the Isotex 15000 specification for waterproof and breathable performance.

Yes, the grown-on hood features drawcords that allow you to adjust and tighten it around your face for a more secure fit and better protection against wind and rain.

The pockets are zipped for security and protection against light moisture. However, they are not submersible, so it's best to keep electronics protected in a waterproof bag if heavy rain is expected.

Information regarding the specific warranty period is not provided in the product details. Please refer to the retailer or Regatta's official website for warranty information.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and then tumble dry on a low heat setting for 20 minutes to reactivate the DWR. If performance is still lacking, consider applying a new DWR treatment.

This can happen if the breathability is overwhelmed by high exertion or if the inner fabric is soiled. Ensure the jacket is clean and check that the internal mesh lining is not obstructed. For intense activity, consider wearing moisture-wicking base layers.

Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of wax or graphite (from a pencil tip) to the zipper teeth to help it glide more smoothly. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.

The elastic may have stretched over time. While not adjustable, ensure the jacket size is appropriate for your arm length to minimize looseness.
