Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Bayletta Waterproof Jacket is designed for women seeking a stylish yet functional outerwear solution for everyday weather protection. Its key benefit lies in its reliable waterproof and breathable Isotex 10000 fabric, ensuring you stay dry and comfortable in wet conditions. However, users should note that while it offers excellent weather resistance, it is a shell jacket and not designed for extreme cold without additional layering.

FAQs

What does 'Isotex 10000' mean?

Isotex 10000 refers to the fabric's performance rating. '10000' indicates a hydrostatic head of 10,000mm, meaning it can withstand 10,000mm of water pressure before leakage, making it highly waterproof. It also typically implies a breathability rating of 10,000g/m2/24hrs, meaning 10,000 grams of water vapor can pass through a square meter of fabric in 24 hours, ensuring comfort.

Is this jacket suitable for cold winter weather?

The Bayletta jacket is designed for waterproof and breathable protection, making it suitable for wet and mild-to-cool conditions. It is not insulated for extreme cold. For winter, we recommend wearing appropriate thermal layers underneath to provide warmth.

Can I put this jacket in the tumble dryer?

No, it is recommended to hang dry your Regatta Bayletta jacket. High heat from a tumble dryer can damage the waterproof membrane and DWR coating. If you need to reactivate the DWR, a very low heat tumble dry for a short period (around 20 minutes) may be acceptable, but always check the care label first.

Are the pockets fully waterproof?

The jacket features 'stylish snap fastenings' for its pockets. While the jacket itself is waterproof, pockets with snap closures are generally considered water-resistant rather than fully waterproof. For highly sensitive items like electronics, it's best to use an additional dry bag or waterproof case within the pocket during heavy rain.

How do I maintain the jacket's waterproof qualities?

To maintain waterproofing, wash the jacket infrequently using a technical wash specifically for waterproof garments. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Regularly check if water beads off the fabric; if not, apply a DWR re-proofing treatment.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels damp inside, even though it's waterproof.

This is often due to condensation from sweat. Ensure you are layering appropriately for your activity level. If performing strenuous activity, consider unzipping slightly or loosening cuffs/hood to increase ventilation. If the outer fabric is 'wetting out' (absorbing water instead of beading), consider re-applying a DWR treatment.

Water appears to be seeping through the fabric.

First, check if the outer DWR coating is failing (water isn't beading). If so, clean and re-proof the jacket. Also, inspect for any small tears or damage to the fabric or taped seams that might compromise waterproofing. Ensure all zippers and fastenings are properly closed during use.

Velcro cuffs are losing their grip.

Over time, lint, threads, and debris can accumulate in Velcro fasteners, reducing their effectiveness. Use a stiff brush, a pair of tweezers, or the corner of another piece of Velcro to carefully clean out any trapped material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

First Use & Setup

Your Regatta Bayletta Jacket is ready to wear straight out of the packaging. Simply adjust the hood and cuffs to your preferred fit for immediate comfort and protection.

Compatibility

This jacket is designed as an outer shell, making it highly compatible with various layering systems. Wear it over t-shirts, sweaters, or fleeces depending on the temperature and activity level. Its versatile style complements both casual and semi-casual outfits.

Care Instructions

Proper care will maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable properties over time:

  1. Washing: Close all zippers and fastenings (including Velcro cuffs and pocket snaps) before washing. Machine wash cold (30°C) with a mild liquid detergent specifically designed for waterproof and breathable outdoor garments. Avoid powdered detergents, fabric softeners, and bleach, as these can damage the fabric's membrane and DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating.
  2. Drying: Hang dry your jacket in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can damage the waterproof membrane. Once dry, you may gently tumble dry on a low heat for 20 minutes or iron on a very low setting without steam to reactivate the DWR coating. Always check the care label for specific instructions.
  3. Storage: Store the jacket clean and dry in a cool, dark place. Do not store it compressed for extended periods.
  4. Re-proofing: Over time, the DWR coating on the outer fabric may wear off, causing the fabric to 'wet out' (look dark and cling to you). You can restore this by applying a spray-on or wash-in re-proofing treatment designed for waterproof-breathable fabrics, following the product's instructions.
