Regatta Bayletta Waterproof Jacket - Animal - Brown - Size: 8

Isotex 15000 means the fabric can withstand 15,000mm of water pressure in a 24-hour period, offering excellent protection against heavy rain.

The jacket itself is designed for waterproofness and breathability. It does not have significant insulation. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer insulating clothing underneath.

Re-waterproofing is recommended when you notice water is no longer beading on the surface and is starting to soak into the fabric. This can vary depending on usage frequency and how often it is washed, typically every 6-12 months.

Yes, you can machine wash the jacket on a gentle cycle using a mild liquid detergent or a specialized waterproof fabric wash. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach.

Taped seams mean that waterproof tape is applied over all the stitched seams on the inside of the jacket. This seals the small holes created by the needle during sewing, preventing water from leaking through.

The hood typically has drawcords or toggles around the face opening and sometimes at the back. Tighten these to reduce the hood opening and secure it around your head, keeping rain out effectively.

The jacket features a soft jersey lining, which adds comfort and a smooth feel against the skin.

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and apply a re-waterproofing spray or wash, following the product's guidelines. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before application.

Clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or wax (like beeswax) to the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper up and down to distribute the lubricant.

This could indicate reduced breathability. Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the pores of the fabric. Check that ventilation features (if any) are open. In humid conditions, some internal condensation is normal.
