FAQs
Is this jacket truly waterproof?
Yes, the Regatta Valenta features `Isotex 10000` fabric, which is highly waterproof and breathable, providing reliable protection against rain.
How should I clean the jacket?
Refer to the care label inside the jacket for specific instructions. Generally, machine wash cold on a gentle cycle using a technical detergent and avoid fabric softener. Hang dry completely.
What age is this particular jacket suitable for?
This specific variant of the Regatta Valenta Waterproof Jacket is designed for children aged 5-6 years. Other sizes are available within the Valenta range.
Does it provide enough warmth for winter?
Yes, with `Warmloft` insulation and a `sherpa-lined hood`, it offers excellent warmth, making it suitable for cold winter conditions when appropriately layered.
Are there any safety features?

Can the fit be adjusted?
Yes, the jacket features `adjustable waist and cuffs`, allowing you to customize the fit for comfort, warmth retention, and to accommodate different layers.
Troubleshooting
Jacket appears to be losing its waterproof quality.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may be wearing off. First, clean the jacket according to care instructions. If water still soaks in, apply a suitable DWR re-proofing product designed for waterproof outerwear.
Jacket doesn't seem warm enough in cold conditions.
Ensure your child is wearing appropriate layers underneath. In very cold weather, a warm base layer and a fleece mid-layer are recommended. Also, check that the adjustable cuffs and waist are snug to prevent cold air from entering.
The fit feels too loose or bulky.
Utilize the adjustable waist toggles and cuff fastenings to create a more snug and tailored fit. This also helps to trap warmth and keep out drafts.
Reflective details are not as bright as they used to be.
Gently clean the reflective areas with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or grime. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the reflective material.

> Info needed: Always refer to the specific care label inside the garment for the most accurate washing instructions.
General Care Recommendations for Waterproof Breathable Jackets (Polyester):
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Use a technical cleaner specifically designed for waterproof garments, or a mild liquid detergent. Avoid powder detergents, bleach, and fabric softeners, as these can clog the fabric's pores and impair breathability and waterproofing.
- Drying: Hang dry or tumble dry on a very low heat setting if the care label allows. Avoid high heat as it can damage the waterproof membrane. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing.
- Re-proofing: Over time, the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish on the outer fabric may wear off, causing water to 'wet out' rather than bead up. If this happens, clean the jacket and apply a DWR re-proofing treatment (spray-on or wash-in) following the product's instructions.
- Storage: Store the jacket in a dry, well-ventilated area, avoiding compression which can affect the insulation's loft.
