FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The Regatta Calderdale III is an excellent waterproof and breathable shell. While it offers protection from wind and rain, it is not insulated. For very cold weather, it should be worn over warm base and mid-layers, such as a fleece.

How do I know if the DWR finish is still working?

To check the DWR finish, sprinkle some water on the jacket's surface. If the water beads up and rolls off, the DWR is working. If the fabric absorbs the water and appears wet, the DWR needs to be reactivated or reapplied.

Can this jacket be used for school?

Yes, its durable and waterproof design makes it perfect for daily school commutes, protecting children from rain and wind during outdoor play and travel.

What does 'taped seams' mean?

Taped seams mean that the stitching lines on the inside of the jacket are covered with a waterproof tape. This prevents water from seeping through the tiny holes created by the sewing needle, ensuring complete waterproof protection.

Is the hood removable?

No, the hood on the Regatta Calderdale III Jacket is attached (grown on) and features elastication for a secure fit, rather than being detachable.

Is this jacket made from sustainable materials?

Yes, the jacket is made with Isotex 10,000 recycled peached polyester fabric, indicating it contains recycled content as part of its construction.

How should I choose the right size for my child?

This particular product is sized for 9-10 years. It's best to refer to Regatta's size chart for accurate measurements, considering height and chest circumference, to ensure the best fit, allowing for layers underneath.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels wet inside

This could be due to condensation if the child is very active and not layered correctly, or if the DWR finish is compromised. Ensure appropriate layering to manage sweat. If the exterior is soaking through, consider re-activating or re-applying the DWR treatment.

Water doesn't bead up on the fabric anymore

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish has likely worn off. Wash the jacket following care instructions, and if the issue persists, apply a DWR re-proofing spray or wash-in product designed for waterproof fabrics.

Zippers are stiff or hard to move

Clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and warm water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant designed for zippers to improve smooth operation. Avoid forcing stiff zippers.

Odour buildup

Wash the jacket according to the care instructions. Ensure it is thoroughly dry before storing. For persistent odours, consider using a specialized outdoor gear wash designed to eliminate smells.

Setup, Compatibility & Care ### Setup The Regatta Calderdale III Jacket requires no complex setup. Simply ensure the correct size for the child (this particular variant is for 9-10 years). Adjust the cuffs using the hook-and-loop fasteners and tighten the shockcord hem (if applicable for younger sizes, but for 9-10 it will be present) for a secure, comfortable fit. The hood is attached and features elastication for a snug fit around the face. ### Compatibility This jacket is designed as an outer shell and is highly compatible with various layering systems. For cold weather, layer it over a fleece or insulated mid-layer for warmth. In milder conditions, it can be worn over a t-shirt or light long-sleeved top. Its unisex design makes it suitable for all children. ### Care Instructions To maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable properties, follow these care guidelines: 1. Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C) with a mild liquid detergent. Avoid using powder detergents, fabric softeners, or bleach, as these can impair the DWR finish and breathability. 2. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. If using a tumble dryer, the heat can help reactivate the DWR finish. Avoid high heat. 3. DWR Reactivation/Re-proofing: Over time, the DWR finish may wear off. If water no longer beads on the surface, you can restore it using a DWR re-proofing spray or wash-in product specifically designed for waterproof breathable fabrics. 4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. 5. Ironing: Do not iron. 6. Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
