The Regatta Orla Kiely Swing Waterproof Jacket is a waterproof shell designed primarily for rain protection and breathability. It does not provide insulation for warmth. For cold temperatures, appropriate insulating layers, such as a fleece or thermal top, should be worn underneath.
This particular variant is for children aged 9-10 (UK size). Regatta provides a comprehensive size guide with measurements to help you find the best fit. It's recommended to consult their official sizing chart for accurate guidance, as age ranges can vary.
Yes, the Regatta Orla Kiely Swing Waterproof Jacket is designed to be unisex, making it suitable for both boys and girls. The vibrant Orla Kiely floral print adds a stylish touch that can be appreciated by anyone.
Isotex 10000 refers to Regatta's high-performance waterproof and breathable fabric technology. The '10000' indicates its waterproof rating (10,000mm hydrostatic head) and breathability rating (10,000g/m2/24hrs), meaning it offers excellent protection from heavy rain while effectively allowing internal moisture vapor to escape.
Always check the garment's care label first for specific instructions. Generally, machine wash on a gentle cycle at a low temperature (e.g., 30°C) using a technical cleaner formulated for waterproof fabrics. Avoid conventional detergents, fabric conditioners, and bleach. Air dry the jacket, or tumble dry on a very low setting if permitted, as gentle heat can help reactivate the Durable Water-Repellent (DWR) finish.
Taped seams mean that all the stitching lines on the jacket's interior have been sealed with a waterproof tape. This is a critical feature for waterproof garments, as it prevents water from seeping through the tiny holes created by the sewing needle, ensuring complete waterproof protection across all seams.
The Durable Water-Repellent (DWR) finish may need reactivating or reapplication. Follow care label instructions for washing and drying to reactivate, or consider a DWR spray product designed for waterproof outerwear.
While highly breathable, intense activity can still cause some moisture build-up. Ensure your child is wearing appropriate layers underneath. If discomfort persists, consider reducing activity level or ventilating by opening the jacket slightly.
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the stud mechanism. Align the studs carefully before pressing firmly to fasten, and pull gently near the stud to unfasten, avoiding excessive force that could damage the fabric.
This jacket requires no special 'setup' beyond putting it on. It is designed for kids, suitable for both boys and girls, and this particular variant is for children aged 9-10 (UK size), though other sizes and colours are available in the range.
To ensure the longevity of its waterproof and breathable properties, always check the specific care label inside the jacket. Generally, waterproof garments should be machine washed on a gentle cycle at a low temperature with a technical wash product specifically designed for waterproof fabrics. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can impair the jacket's DWR finish and breathability. After washing, air dry the jacket or tumble dry on a very low setting if the care label permits; gentle heat can help reactivate the Durable Water-Repellent (DWR) finish. Do not iron or dry clean.
