FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The Brindel jacket is designed for waterproof protection and is lightweight. For very cold weather, it is best used as a waterproof outer layer over insulating mid-layers.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softener and bleach. Tumble dry on low or air dry.
How does the pack-it feature work?
The jacket can be folded and stuffed into its own lower pocket, allowing for compact storage and easy transport.
What does 'ISOLITE 15000' mean?
'ISOLITE 15000' refers to Regatta's proprietary lightweight, waterproof, and breathable fabric technology, with a rating of 15,000 mm for waterproofness and 15,000 g/m²/24hr for breathability.
Can I wash this jacket with other clothes?
It is recommended to wash the jacket separately or with similar synthetic materials to avoid damage to the fabric and its waterproof coatings.
What is the purpose of the mesh lining?
The polyester mesh lining enhances comfort by providing a breathable layer against the skin and improving air circulation within the jacket.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is leaking water.
Ensure all seams are properly taped and intact. Reapply a DWR finish if the water is no longer beading on the surface. Check for damage to the fabric.
Jacket feels clammy inside.
This can occur in high humidity or during intense activity. Ensure the DWR finish is clean and the jacket is not overly layered. Allow for ventilation by opening zippers if applicable (though this model does not feature them).
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.
Jacket does not pack easily into its pocket.
Ensure the jacket is clean and completely dry before attempting to pack. Fold it as flat as possible before rolling or stuffing into the designated pocket.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This jacket requires no setup; it is ready to wear upon purchase.
Compatibility:
- Use: Ideal for outdoor activities, travel, festivals, and everyday wear in wet weather.
- Layering: Designed to be worn over a base layer or light mid-layer. Its lightweight construction makes it less suitable as an outer layer in freezing temperatures without additional insulation.
Care:
- Washing: Machine washable according to care label instructions (typically 30°C).
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat or air dry.
- Re-proofing: To maintain water repellency, periodically use a fabric-specific re-proofer, following product instructions.
- Avoid: Do not use bleach or fabric softener, as these can damage the fabric's waterproof and breathable properties.
