Yes, the Regatta Orla Kiely Swing Waterproof Jacket features Isotex 10000 waterproof fabric and taped seams, providing excellent protection against heavy rain, keeping your child dry and comfortable.
No, the hood is a 'grown-on' hood, meaning it is integrated into the jacket design and cannot be detached.
Isotex 10000 is a performance fabric technology from Regatta. The '10000' refers to its hydrostatic head rating of 10,000mm, indicating its high level of waterproofness, and a breathability rating of 10,000g/m²/24hrs, ensuring good moisture vapor transfer to keep you comfortable.
Machine wash cold (30°C) on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Do not use fabric softener, bleach, iron, or tumble dry. Air dry away from direct heat. Regular cleaning helps maintain its performance.
This jacket is primarily a waterproof and breathable shell. While it offers protection from rain and wind, it does not provide significant insulation for very cold winter temperatures. For winter use, it's recommended to layer warm fleeces or thermals underneath.
The lower patch pockets have concealed stud closures, offering good protection for items inside from splashes and light rain. However, for highly sensitive electronics or items that must stay absolutely dry, additional waterproof pouches are recommended.
With proper care as per washing instructions (cold wash, no harsh detergents, air dry), the vibrant print is designed to be durable. Avoiding harsh chemicals and excessive rubbing will help maintain its appearance.
This indicates the Durable Water-Repellent (DWR) finish is wearing off. Wash the jacket as per care instructions. If the issue persists, consider applying a DWR re-proofing product designed for waterproof outerwear.
Ensure your child is not overdressed underneath the jacket. Breathability works best when moisture can escape. Avoid cotton layers directly next to the skin in active situations, as cotton absorbs moisture. Opt for synthetic or wool base layers. Also, check the inner lining for any blockages.
Ensure the fabric is aligned correctly before pressing. For unfastening, apply steady, gentle pressure directly on the stud rather than pulling aggressively, which could damage the fabric.
Setup: The Regatta Orla Kiely Swing Waterproof Jacket requires no assembly. Simply ensure you have selected the correct size for your child to allow for comfortable movement and potential layering. Put it on like any other jacket, securing the front press studs. For the best fit, ensure sleeves are the right length and the hood comfortably covers their head without obstructing vision. Compatibility: This jacket is designed for kids, specifically available in various children's sizes (e.g., 3-4, 5-6, 7-8, 9-10). It is unisex and can be worn by any child. Its design allows for layering over other clothing, making it compatible with various seasonal outfits, from light t-shirts to fleeces, depending on the temperature. Care: Proper care is essential to maintain the waterproof and breathable properties of your jacket. - Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C) on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent designed for technical waterproof fabrics, or a small amount of liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can impair waterproofing and breathability. - Drying: Do not tumble dry. Hang to air dry away from direct heat. - Ironing: Do not iron. - Bleaching/Dry Cleaning: Do not bleach or dry clean. - Re-proofing: Over time, the DWR finish may wear off. If water no longer beads on the surface, you can re-apply a DWR treatment (spray-on or wash-in) specifically designed for waterproof outerwear to restore performance.
