FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy downpours?

Yes, with Isotex 10000 waterproof fabric and taped seams, this jacket offers excellent protection and is designed to keep your child dry during heavy rain.

How do I choose the correct size for my child?

This specific variant is for children aged 5-6 years (UK sizing). We recommend consulting a Regatta size chart if you are unsure, to ensure the best fit for comfort and functionality.

Can I wash this jacket in a washing machine?

Yes, machine wash cold with a mild, non-biological detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and follow the drying instructions (low tumble dry or hang dry) to preserve the waterproof properties.

What does 'Isotex 10000' mean?

Isotex 10000 refers to the fabric's waterproof and breathable rating. The '10000' indicates that it can withstand 10,000mm of water pressure over a 24-hour period before water penetrates, and allows 10,000 grams of moisture vapor per square meter to escape over 24 hours, signifying excellent performance for active use in wet conditions.

Are the pockets waterproof?

The pockets have concealed stud closures to help protect contents from splashes and light rain. While the outer fabric is waterproof, it's always best to store valuable or highly sensitive items in an additional waterproof bag if exposed to prolonged heavy rain.

Does the hood detach?

No, the hood is a 'grown-on' hood, meaning it is permanently attached to the jacket, providing continuous head protection.

Troubleshooting

Water is soaking into the fabric, not beading off.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may be wearing off. Wash the jacket according to care instructions and consider applying a DWR re-proofing treatment designed for waterproof clothing.

Child feels clammy or damp inside the jacket.

Ensure the child is not overdressed underneath the jacket, as excess layering can trap moisture. Also, confirm the jacket's breathability hasn't been compromised by dirt or detergent residue; wash it thoroughly with an appropriate cleaner for technical outerwear.

Press studs are difficult to fasten or unfasten.

Check if any fabric is caught in the stud mechanism. Ensure the stud is aligned properly before applying gentle, firm pressure. Avoid forcing them, as this can damage the studs or fabric.

Care Instructions

To maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable properties, follow these general care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can impair waterproofing and breathability.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Avoid direct high heat as it can damage the waterproof coating.
  3. Ironing: Do not iron, as high heat can damage the fabric's specialized finish.
  4. Bleaching: Do not bleach.
  5. DWR Re-application: Over time, the durable water-repellent (DWR) finish may wear off. If water no longer beads on the surface, consider re-treating the jacket with a DWR-restoring product, available at outdoor gear retailers. Follow the product's specific instructions.
  6. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
