FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for winter conditions?
Yes, with Thermoguard insulation and waterproof Isotex 10000 fabric, the Hurdle jacket provides warmth and protection, making it suitable for cold and wet winter weather, especially when combined with appropriate layering.
Can I machine wash the jacket?
Generally, yes, but it is crucial to always check the specific care label inside your jacket. Typically, a gentle cycle with a technical fabric cleaner is recommended, avoiding standard detergents and fabric softeners.
What does 'Isotex 10000' mean?
Isotex 10000 signifies that the fabric has a hydrostatic head of 10,000mm, meaning it can withstand 10,000mm of water before it begins to leak. It also indicates a high level of breathability, allowing moisture vapor to escape.
Are the pockets completely waterproof?
The pockets are zipped for security. While the jacket itself is waterproof, the pockets are designed to protect items from general splash and light rain. For highly sensitive electronics, it's always best to use an additional waterproof pouch.
Is this jacket designed for a specific gender?
No, the Regatta Hurdle Waterproof Insulated Jacket is designed as a unisex garment, suitable for both boys and girls.
What age range does a UK children's size 9-10 typically cover?
This size is designed for children typically aged 9 to 10 years old. However, fit can vary, so it's always best to consult a size chart if available (Info needed: provide link to size chart if possible).
How do the reflective trims improve safety?
The reflective trims are designed to reflect light back to its source, such as car headlights or streetlights. This significantly increases your child's visibility to others in low-light conditions, enhancing their safety during outdoor activities.
Troubleshooting
Child feels cold despite wearing the jacket.
Ensure the child is wearing appropriate layers underneath. The jacket provides warmth, but optimal thermal regulation relies on effective base and mid-layers. Also, check that the main zipper is fully closed and the hood is up if needed.
Water appears to be soaking through the fabric.
First, check for any tears or abrasions on the outer fabric. If none are present, the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish might need refreshing. While the Isotex 10000 membrane is waterproof, the DWR helps water bead off the surface. Info needed: Check Regatta's guidance on DWR re-application.
Zipper is stiff or stuck.
Gently try to free any fabric caught in the zipper. If it's still stiff, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or even rub a pencil graphite along the teeth to help it glide smoothly. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Reflective trims appear less bright.
Ensure the reflective trims are clean. Dirt or mud can obscure their reflective properties. Gently wipe them with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing which could damage the trim.

Care
Proper care is crucial for maintaining the waterproof and insulating properties of your jacket. Always refer to the specific care label sewn inside your garment for the most accurate instructions. General guidelines for waterproof, insulated polyester jackets often include:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle, using a technical wash specifically designed for waterproof breathable fabrics. Avoid conventional detergents, fabric softeners, and bleach, as these can compromise the waterproof coating and breathability.
- Temperature: Use cold or lukewarm water. Hot water can damage the fabric's integrity.
- Drying: Line dry whenever possible. If using a tumble dryer, select a low heat or air-dry setting. Overheating can damage the waterproof membrane and insulation. Do not iron.
- Storage: Store the jacket clean and dry in a well-ventilated area.
