Regatta Waterproof Jacket - Striped - Yellow - XXXXL

Isotex 15000 refers to the jacket's waterproof and breathability rating. It means the fabric can withstand a water pressure of 15,000mm and has a breathability rating of 15,000g/m²/24hours, indicating good performance in both rain protection and moisture management.

The Shorebay jacket is designed primarily for waterproof protection. While it can be layered over warmer clothing for cold weather, it is not heavily insulated on its own. You may need to add a fleece or insulated layer underneath for significant cold.

If water no longer beads up and rolls off the fabric surface, but instead soaks into the material, it's time to reapply the DWR treatment.

Yes, you can machine wash the jacket following the care instructions. It is recommended to use a technical or eco-friendly detergent and to close all zippers and fastenings before washing.

Avoid using bleach or fabric softener, as these can damage the waterproof and breathable properties of the fabric and clog the membrane.

The 100% polyester mesh lining in the body helps with breathability, while the 100% polyester taffeta lining in the sleeves provides a smooth surface for easy on-and-off over other clothing layers.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket and re-apply a DWR treatment according to the product's instructions. Ensure the taped seams are intact.

Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite from a pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the slider.

This can indicate reduced breathability. Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the membrane pores. Consider washing with a technical cleaner. Also, check that any internal layers are also breathable.
