FAQs

How waterproof is the Regatta Bayletta II Jacket?

The jacket features Isotex 10000 fabric with taped seams, meaning it offers a hydrostatic head of 10,000mm, providing excellent waterproof protection in heavy rain.

Is this jacket breathable?

Yes, it has a breathability rating of 10,000g/m²/24 hours. This allows moisture vapor from your body to escape, helping to keep you comfortable and dry from the inside out.

What material is the jacket made from?

The jacket is made from 100% peached polyester fabric, with a 100% polyester taffeta lining.

Does it have pockets for storage?

Yes, the jacket includes two external pockets with snap fastenings and one internal security pocket, ideal for safely storing valuables.

Can I machine wash this jacket?

Yes, you can machine wash it at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Use a technical outerwear cleaner and avoid fabric softeners to preserve its waterproof and breathable properties. Air dry or tumble dry on low heat.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The Bayletta II is a waterproof and breathable shell jacket. It is designed to protect against rain and wind. For cold weather, it is best used as an outer layer with appropriate insulating mid-layers underneath, as it does not provide significant inherent warmth on its own.

Does this product use recycled materials?

Yes, the Regatta Women's Bayletta II Jacket is made with recycled content, contributing to a more sustainable production process.

Troubleshooting

Water no longer beads on the jacket surface; fabric wets out.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need reactivating or reapplying. Try tumble drying on low heat for 20 minutes (check care label first). If that doesn't work, apply a DWR re-proofing spray or wash-in product designed for waterproof breathable jackets.

Jacket feels clammy or condensation builds up inside.

Ensure you are not overdressed underneath the jacket, as excess perspiration can overwhelm the jacket's breathability. Also, ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can block the membrane's pores. Try washing it with a technical cleaner.

Zippers feel stiff or are difficult to move.

Clean the zippers with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or grit. Lubricate with a specialized zipper lubricant or a small amount of silicone spray, being careful to avoid getting it on the fabric.

Hood or cuffs don't stay adjusted.

For drawcords, ensure they are threaded correctly through the adjusters and the adjusters are fully tightened. For hook-and-loop cuffs, clean any lint or debris from both sides of the fastening to ensure a strong grip.

Cons

Compatibility

Care Instructions

Proper care is crucial to maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable properties.

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C) with a technical outerwear cleaner (not regular detergent) on a gentle cycle. Avoid fabric softeners as they can impair the DWR finish and breathability.
  2. Drying: Line dry or tumble dry on a low heat setting. High heat can damage the waterproof membrane. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing.
  3. DWR Re-activation/Re-proofing: Over time, the durable water repellent (DWR) finish may wear off. If water no longer beads on the surface, you can reactivate it by tumble drying on low heat for 20 minutes (if care label allows) or by applying a spray-on or wash-in re-proofing treatment specifically designed for waterproof breathable fabrics. Follow the product instructions carefully.
  4. Storage: Store the jacket in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
