FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

Yes, with Isotex 10000 fabric and taped seams, this jacket offers excellent waterproof protection for rainy days, including moderate to heavy showers. However, for extreme, prolonged downpours, no garment can guarantee 100% dryness indefinitely.

Can this jacket be used in cold weather?

This jacket is primarily designed for waterproof and breathable protection, not insulation. For cold weather, we recommend layering warm clothing underneath, such as a fleece or thermal top, to provide adequate warmth.

How do I maintain the waterproof coating?

Regular washing with a technical outdoor detergent (not standard laundry detergent) and periodic re-application of a DWR-restoring treatment will help maintain the waterproof and water-repellent qualities of the jacket. Always follow the care label instructions.

Is the Orla Kiely print durable?

The vibrant Orla Kiely print is designed to be durable and withstand regular wear and washing. To best preserve the print, follow the garment's care instructions and avoid harsh scrubbing or chemical cleaners on the printed areas.

What does 'Isotex 10000' mean?

Isotex 10000 refers to Regatta's advanced waterproof and breathable fabric technology. '10000' indicates that the fabric can withstand 10,000mm of water before it starts to leak (waterproof rating) and allows 10,000 grams of water vapor to pass through per square meter in 24 hours (breathability rating).

Are there any specific washing instructions to follow?

Info needed: Always refer to the care label inside the jacket for precise washing instructions. Generally, use a mild, technical detergent, wash on a gentle cycle, and avoid fabric softeners, bleach, or ironing.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels damp or clammy inside.

While highly breathable, intense activity can still lead to some moisture buildup. Ensure proper layering underneath and check the breathability rating to manage expectations during very strenuous play. Also, ensure the garment is clean, as dirt can block breathability.

Water isn't beading on the jacket's surface anymore.

The Durable Water-Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Wash the jacket according to care instructions and then apply a DWR restoring product (spray-on or wash-in) suitable for waterproof fabrics to reactivate its water-repellent properties.

Jacket smells musty after storage.

Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing. If it develops a smell, wash it according to the care label, ensuring all detergent is rinsed thoroughly. Air dry it in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or heat.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof protection for rainy days
  • High breathability keeps children comfortable and fresh
  • Stylish and vibrant Orla Kiely design
  • Made with recycled materials, promoting sustainability
  • Practical features like a hood and secure pockets

Cons

  • May not provide significant insulation for very cold weather
  • Requires specific care to maintain waterproofing and breathability
  • Press stud fastening might be less secure than a full zip in some situations

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Simply put on the jacket over your child's regular clothing. Ensure the press stud fastenings are securely closed at the front to keep out rain and wind. The grown-on hood can be easily pulled up for extra protection.

Compatibility

This specific jacket is designed for kids in the 1-2 age group, featuring a floral pattern and a purple colour family. It is made from Polyester and intended for female children, though the versatile design can suit various preferences. Always check the child's measurements against Regatta's sizing guide to ensure the best fit.

Care

Proper care is crucial to maintain the waterproof and breathable properties of the jacket:

  • Washing: Info needed: Consult the garment's inner label for specific washing instructions. Typically, waterproof garments should be washed on a gentle cycle with a technical wash designed for waterproof fabrics. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can damage the DWR finish and membrane.
  • Drying: Info needed: Air dry the jacket whenever possible. If tumble drying is permitted, use a low heat setting. Overheating can damage the fabric's waterproof coating.
  • Reactivating DWR: Over time, the DWR finish may wear off. If water no longer beads on the surface, you can restore it using a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment specifically designed for technical outerwear.
