FAQs

What is ISOLITE 15000?

ISOLITE 15000 is Regatta's own fabric technology that provides waterproof and breathable protection, rated to withstand 15,000mm of water and allow 15,000g/m²/24hrs of water vapor to pass through.

Is this jacket warm enough for winter?

The jacket is designed for rain protection and is lightweight. It does not offer significant insulation on its own and is best worn as a shell layer over warmer clothing in colder temperatures.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash at 40°C on a gentle cycle with liquid detergent. Do not use fabric softener or powder detergent. Rinse twice and tumble dry on a low heat setting.

What does 'packable' mean for this jacket?

It means the jacket can be folded or rolled into a very small size and stored within its own integrated stuff sack, making it easy to carry when not in use.

Can I wear this jacket for high-intensity activities?

Yes, the jacket is breathable and lightweight, making it suitable for moderate activities. For very high-intensity activities where significant perspiration occurs, ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking base layers.

What is the benefit of taped seams?

Taped seams are essential for waterproof garments. They are strips of waterproof tape bonded to the seams to prevent water from seeping through the stitch holes.

How often should I re-waterproof the jacket?

Re-waterproof when you notice water is no longer beading on the surface and is soaking into the fabric. This typically depends on the frequency of use and washing, but often every few washes or when performance decreases.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is leaking water.

Check if the taped seams are intact. Re-apply a waterproof treatment (DWR) to the outer fabric as per product instructions. Ensure no detergent residue remains by rinsing thoroughly after washing.

Jacket feels clammy or wet inside.

This may be due to condensation or the DWR finish needing reactivation. Ensure you are washing with liquid detergent and tumble drying to reactivate the DWR. Check that the cuffs and hem are not overly tightened, allowing some ventilation.

Jacket is difficult to pack into its stuff sack.

Ensure the jacket is completely dry before packing. Fold or roll the jacket neatly to remove as much air as possible before placing it into the stuff sack.

Zippers snagging.

Gently try to pull the fabric away from the zipper teeth. If the zipper is dirty, clean it with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap, then dry and try again. A small amount of silicone-based lubricant can also help.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof and breathable performance for variable weather.
  • Highly packable, making it ideal for travel and on-the-go use.
  • Lightweight design ensures comfort without added bulk.
  • Stylish prints offer a fashionable alternative to standard raincoats.
  • Sealed seams provide robust protection against rain.

Cons

  • May not offer sufficient insulation for very cold weather due to its lightweight nature.
  • The focus on packability means it may lack some features of heavier-duty raincoats.
  • Elasticated cuffs might not suit everyone's preferred fit.
  • Requires specific care to maintain waterproof properties.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This jacket requires no assembly. Simply unpack it from its stuff sack and wear it. Ensure the hood is adjusted if necessary for a comfortable fit.

Compatibility: This jacket is designed for adult women and is suitable for wear over base layers or lighter mid-layers. It is not designed for extreme cold weather conditions as a primary insulating layer.

Care: To maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable properties:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 40°C on a gentle cycle using a liquid detergent. Do not use powder detergents or fabric softeners, as these can clog the pores and impair breathability.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse twice to remove all traces of detergent.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with a towel for 20 minutes. This helps to reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish.
  4. Re-proofing: If water no longer beads on the surface after washing and drying, apply a suitable re-proofing spray or wash-in product, following the manufacturer's instructions. Allow to air dry completely.
