FAQs
Is this raincoat warm enough for winter?
The Lever II Raincoat is designed for waterproofing and breathability, not for significant warmth. It is best used as an outer shell over warmer layers during cold weather.
How do I choose the correct size?
Refer to the size guide provided by Regatta or the retailer. Children's sizes are often based on age and height. The 'Size 7/8' indicates it's suitable for children typically aged 7 to 8 years old.
Can the hood be detached?
No, the hood is a 'grown-on' hood, meaning it is permanently attached to the jacket.
What does 5000gsm refer to?
This likely refers to the breathability rating of the fabric, measured in grams per square meter per 24 hours (g/m²/24h). A rating of 5000gsm indicates moderate breathability.
How often should I re-waterproof the jacket?
Re-waterproofing is recommended when you notice water is no longer beading on the surface and is instead soaking into the fabric. This depends on usage and washing frequency, but typically every few washes or once a year is sufficient.
Can this be worn by girls?
While marketed for boys, the design is quite neutral. If the fit is suitable, it can certainly be worn by girls as well.
Troubleshooting
Raincoat is no longer waterproof
Check the taped seams for damage. Ensure the fabric hasn't been compromised. Reapply a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray or wash-in treatment according to the product's instructions.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the slider. If the problem persists, use a graphite pencil lead or a bit of wax to lubricate the zipper teeth.
Reflective details are peeling
This can occur with excessive washing or abrasion. Avoid harsh scrubbing on the reflective areas during cleaning. If significantly damaged, the reflective function may be compromised.
