Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Using your Regatta Hurdle Jacket is straightforward. Simply put on the jacket, adjust the hood for a snug fit if needed, and zip it up fully. Ensure no clothing layers are bunched up inside for maximum comfort and warmth.
Compatibility
This specific jacket is designed for kids aged 9-10 years, with a unisex fit. It's made from polyester and is intended for general outdoor wear in cold and wet conditions. The size `9-10` refers to children's UK sizing.
Care Instructions
Proper care is essential to maintain the performance and longevity of your Hurdle jacket, especially its waterproofing and insulation. Always check the care label inside the jacket for the most accurate instructions. Generally, follow these guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash cold (up to 30°C) on a gentle cycle. Use a small amount of mild, non-biological liquid detergent. Avoid powder detergents, fabric softeners, and bleach, as these can damage the waterproof coating and insulation.
- Drying: Air dry the jacket by hanging it. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can damage the waterproof membrane and insulation fibers.
- Ironing: Do not iron.
- Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
- Storage: Store the jacket in a dry, well-ventilated area when not in use. Ensure it is clean and completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
- Re-Waterproofing: Over time, the durable water repellent (DWR) finish on the fabric may wear off. If water no longer beads up on the surface, you can restore its repellency using a DWR re-proofing spray or wash-in product designed for waterproof breathable fabrics. Follow the product's instructions carefully.
