FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for both boys and girls?

Yes, the Regatta Orla Kiely Swing Waterproof Jacket is designed as a unisex garment, suitable for both boys and girls.

What does 'Isotex 10000' mean?

'Isotex 10000' refers to Regatta's waterproof and breathable fabric technology. '10000' indicates a hydrostatic head rating of 10,000mm, meaning the fabric can withstand 10,000mm of water over 24 hours before water penetrates, offering excellent waterproof protection. It also signifies a high level of breathability.

Can this jacket be used in cold winter weather?

This jacket provides excellent waterproof and breathable protection, but it is not insulated for extreme cold. For winter use, it is best worn as an outer shell over warm base layers and mid-layers (e.g., a fleece) to provide adequate warmth.

How do I ensure the jacket remains waterproof over time?

Follow the care instructions diligently, particularly avoiding fabric softeners and harsh detergents. Reapply a suitable Durable Water-Repellent (DWR) treatment periodically when you notice water no longer beads off the surface of the fabric.

Are the pockets secure for storing items?

Yes, the two lower patch pockets feature concealed stud closures, helping to keep stored items secure during movement and preventing them from falling out easily.

Does the jacket come in other sizes or patterns?

Yes, the Regatta Orla Kiely Swing Waterproof Jacket range often includes various sizes and Orla Kiely patterns. Please check the product listings for other available variants.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels wet inside or is losing waterproofness.

Ensure you are using appropriate layering to manage perspiration, as internal wetness can sometimes be condensation. If the outer fabric is 'wetting out' (no longer beading water), the Durable Water-Repellent (DWR) finish may need reapplication. Wash the jacket with a technical cleaner and reapply a DWR treatment as per the product instructions.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.

Clean any dirt or debris from the zipper teeth using a small brush and mild soap. If the zipper remains stiff, apply a specialized zipper lubricant sparingly along the teeth. Avoid pulling forcefully, which can damage the zipper.

The hood doesn't stay on securely during windy conditions.

Adjust the cord detailing around the face for a snugger fit. Ensure the central press stud fastening is securely fastened. For very strong winds, consider wearing a hat underneath for added security and warmth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

The Regatta Orla Kiely Swing Waterproof Jacket requires no assembly or complex setup. Simply unpack and it's ready to wear.

Compatibility

This jacket is designed to be compatible with standard children's clothing layers. Its 'swing' fit allows for comfortable wear over jumpers, fleeces, or other mid-layers, adapting to various temperature conditions. It's suitable for a wide range of outdoor activities, from casual walks to more active play in wet weather.

Care Instructions

Proper care is crucial to maintain the waterproof and breathable properties of the jacket. Follow these general guidelines, and always check the care label for specific instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C) on a gentle cycle with a technical wash specifically designed for waterproof outerwear. Avoid using fabric softeners, bleach, or harsh detergents, as these can damage the waterproof coating and DWR finish.
  2. Drying: Do not tumble dry. Hang to air dry away from direct heat. Excessive heat can damage the fabric and taped seams.
  3. Ironing: Do not iron. If wrinkles are a concern, a light steaming might be acceptable, but avoid direct heat.
  4. DWR Reapplication: Over time, the durable water-repellent (DWR) finish may wear off. If water no longer beads on the surface, consider reapplying a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment suitable for technical outerwear.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ensuring the jacket is completely dry before folding or hanging.
