Regatta Orla Kiely Jacket - Floral - Blue

ISOTEX 15000 is a Regatta standard for waterproof and breathable fabric. It means the fabric has a hydrostatic head of 15000mm (waterproofness) and a breathability rating of 15000g/m²/24hrs (allowing moisture vapor to escape).

The ISOTEX 15000 rating provides good waterproofness suitable for most rainy conditions. However, for prolonged exposure to torrential downpours, a jacket with a higher waterproof rating might be more appropriate.

Proper washing and drying are key. Avoid fabric softeners, tumble drying, and ironing, as these can damage the waterproof and breathable membrane. Reapply a DWR treatment periodically, especially if water no longer beads on the surface.

This jacket is designed for protection against rain and wind. It is lightweight and may not provide sufficient insulation for extreme cold. Layering with warm clothing underneath is recommended for colder temperatures.

The primary advantage is the integration of high-performance waterproof and breathable technology with Orla Kiely's distinctive and elegant floral patterns, offering both functionality and style.

The product information does not specify if the hood is removable. Please refer to the product's physical labels or the manufacturer's website for detailed specifications regarding hood attachment.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Reapply a suitable DWR spray or wash-in treatment after cleaning and drying the jacket, following the treatment manufacturer's instructions.

Ensure all seams are properly sealed. If the issue persists after washing and re-proofing, contact customer support as this may indicate a manufacturing defect.

This could be due to inadequate breathability. Ensure the garment is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the pores. Consider a gentle wash cycle and ensure no fabric softener was used, as it can impair breathability.
