Regatta Bayletta II Waterproof Jacket - Orange, Size: 10

The Regatta Bayletta II Jacket provides excellent waterproofing and breathability but is not insulated. For very cold weather or winter sports, we recommend layering it over appropriate thermal mid-layers to provide the necessary warmth, as it functions primarily as an outer shell.

To maintain waterproofing, wash the jacket infrequently using a technical wash specifically designed for waterproof garments, avoiding fabric softeners. If water stops beading on the surface, re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment suitable for waterproof fabrics.

'Isotex 10000' refers to the fabric's waterproof and breathable rating. The '10000' indicates it can withstand 10,000mm of water pressure over 24 hours before water penetrates, making it reliably waterproof. It also has a breathability rating that allows 10,000g of moisture vapor to pass through per square meter over 24 hours, keeping you comfortable.

The jacket's main fabric is waterproof, and the pockets have snap fastenings to help secure contents. While the pockets offer good protection from rain, for electronic devices or highly sensitive items in very heavy downpours, additional waterproof pouches inside the pockets are recommended for maximum security.

No, we strongly advise against ironing the Regatta Bayletta II Jacket. The heat can damage the waterproof coating and synthetic fibers, compromising its performance. If creased, try hanging it in a steamy bathroom to relax the fabric.

The taffeta lining is typically made from smooth, lightweight polyester. This material is chosen for its soft feel, durability, and ease of movement, ensuring comfort when worn over other clothing layers.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need to be revitalized. Wash the jacket according to care instructions, then apply a specialist DWR re-proofing spray or wash-in product. This will restore the fabric's ability to shed water effectively.

Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can block the breathable membrane. If clean, check if you are layering too heavily underneath. Also, consider if external humidity is exceptionally high, which can reduce the effectiveness of breathable membranes. A DWR re-treatment can also improve breathability indirectly by preventing the outer fabric from wetting out.

For cuffs, ensure the Velcro is clean and free of lint or debris for optimal grip. For hood drawcords, ensure they are threaded correctly through any toggles or adjusters. If they are stretched or worn, they may need replacement or tightening of the existing mechanism.

Clean any dirt or sand from the zipper teeth using a small brush. Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (e.g., silicone-based spray or zipper wax) to the teeth to improve smooth operation. Avoid forcing stiff zippers as this can cause damage.
