Its key benefit is offering excellent waterproofing and breathability thanks to Isolite 10000 technology and a DWR finish. A potential caveat is that the printed name label is only included for ages up to 8.

FAQs
What does 'Isolite 10000' mean?
'Isolite 10000' refers to Regatta's waterproof and breathable fabric technology, indicating a hydrostatic head of 10000mm and a breathability rating of 10000g/m²/24hrs.
How do I know if the jacket is the right size?
Refer to the sizing information provided by Regatta. The description notes that a printed name label is included for sizes up to age 8, suggesting standard children's sizing. It's advisable to check specific measurements if available.
Can this jacket be worn in cold weather?
Yes, the jacket is waterproof and windproof, providing a good outer layer. For cold weather, it is recommended to layer appropriate warm clothing underneath, such as a fleece or insulated jacket, as the jacket itself is lightweight.
How should I clean the jacket?
Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softener. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Avoid ironing.
Is the hood adjustable?
The jacket features a 'grown-on hood with mesh lining'. While not explicitly stated as adjustable, typical hoods of this type are designed to fit snugly without drawcords unless specified.
What is the benefit of the DWR finish?
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish helps water bead up and roll off the fabric surface, preventing the outer material from becoming saturated and maintaining the jacket's breathability and lightweight feel.
Are the seams sealed?
Yes, the jacket features 'taped seams', which means the seams are sealed with waterproof tape to prevent water from penetrating through the stitching.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer water repellent.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Reapply a suitable DWR treatment after washing the jacket, following the product's instructions. Avoid using fabric softeners which can impair water repellency.
Child feels clammy or damp inside despite dry exterior.
While the jacket is breathable, intense physical activity can still lead to some moisture buildup. Ensure the child is not overdressed underneath. Check that the cuffs and hem are secured to prevent drafts, but not so tight as to restrict airflow. Wash the jacket according to care instructions, as dirt and residue can clog the breathable pores.
Zipper is difficult to use.
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. If the zipper feels stiff, a small amount of wax (like a candle or beeswax) can be applied to the teeth to help it glide smoothly. Check for any damage to the zipper itself.
