Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Bayletta II Waterproof Jacket is designed for women seeking a stylish yet highly functional outer layer for everyday protection against the elements. Its key win is the combination of advanced waterproofing and breathability with a comfortable, adjustable design, making it suitable for a variety of weather conditions. However, users should note its primary material is polyester, which offers excellent weather resistance but might require layering for extreme cold.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold weather?
The Regatta Bayletta II jacket provides excellent waterproofing and breathability but is not insulated for extreme cold. For very cold conditions, we recommend layering it over appropriate thermal wear.
Can I machine wash this jacket?
Yes, you can machine wash it. Use a gentle cycle with cold water and a technical wash specifically designed for waterproof fabrics. Do NOT use fabric softeners or bleach.
What does 'Isotex 10000' mean?
'Isotex 10000' refers to Regatta's proprietary waterproof and breathable fabric technology. '10000' indicates that the fabric can withstand 10,000mm of water pressure over a 24-hour period before water begins to penetrate, and it has a moisture vapor transmission rate of 10,000 g/m²/24hrs, meaning it lets 10,000 grams of water vapor pass through per square meter in 24 hours.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The jacket's fabric is waterproof, and the pockets are protected by snap fastenings. However, for highly sensitive electronics or items that must stay absolutely dry in heavy downpours, we recommend using an additional waterproof pouch or an internal waterproof pocket if available, as the snap closures are not fully sealed like a waterproof zipper.
How do I restore the water repellency of my jacket?
If water no longer beads up on the surface of your jacket, the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish needs to be reactivated or re-applied. Wash the jacket with a technical cleaner and then use a DWR-specific re-proofing spray or wash-in treatment, following the product's instructions.
Is this jacket noisy when moving?
The peached polyester fabric of the Bayletta II is generally softer and less 'crinkly' than some technical hard-shell jackets, reducing noise during movement. However, all waterproof fabrics will have some degree of rustle.
Troubleshooting
Jacket no longer repels water effectively
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating might have worn off. Wash the jacket using a technical cleaner and then apply a DWR re-proofing spray or wash-in treatment. Ensure the jacket is clean before re-proofing.
Jacket feels clammy or sweaty inside
While the jacket is breathable, excessive layering or high exertion can still lead to internal condensation. Ensure you're wearing appropriate layers for the activity and temperature. If the issue persists, the jacket's breathability might be compromised; try washing it with a technical cleaner to remove any residue blocking the pores.
Velcro cuffs are not holding securely
Over time, lint and debris can accumulate in the Velcro. Use a comb or stiff brush to carefully clean out any trapped fibers to restore its grip.

Care Instructions
Proper care is essential to maintain the jacket's waterproofing and breathability:
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a technical wash specific for waterproof fabrics. Do NOT use fabric softener, bleach, or harsh detergents, as these can damage the waterproofing.
- Drying: Hang to dry naturally away from direct heat. Avoid tumble drying as high heat can compromise the fabric's integrity.
- Re-proofing: Over time, the durable water repellent (DWR) finish may wear off. You can restore this by using a spray-on or wash-in re-proofing treatment specifically designed for waterproof outerwear.
- Storage: Store the jacket in a cool, dry place when not in use. Ensure it is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
