Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Vallina Junior Insulated Jacket is an excellent choice for children who need reliable protection during outdoor play in cold, wet weather. Featuring high-performance ISOTEX 15000 fabric, this jacket keeps kids dry and comfortable while ensuring they stay warm with sustainable insulation. While it offers premium weather resistance, the sherpa-lined hood and insulation make it a specialized piece for cooler seasons rather than a lightweight summer rain shell.

FAQs
Is this jacket truly waterproof?
Yes, it is constructed with ISOTEX 15000 fabric, which is rated to keep the wearer dry in heavy rain conditions.
Can I put this jacket in the tumble dryer?
No, it is best to air dry the jacket to preserve the integrity of the waterproof membrane and the reflective details.
Does it contain real down feathers?
No, the jacket uses WARMLOFT insulation, which is a recycled synthetic material, making it animal-friendly and easier to maintain.
What does the 360-degree reflectivity mean?
It means the jacket has reflective strips or patches placed all around the garment, ensuring visibility from the front, back, and sides.
Is the hood detachable?
The product features a fixed hood with a sherpa lining for maximum heat retention.
Troubleshooting
Water appears to soak into the outer fabric instead of beading off.
The DWR coating has likely worn off. Wash the garment and apply a fresh water-repellent spray designed for technical outdoor gear.
The jacket feels damp inside after heavy exercise.
Ensure your child is wearing moisture-wicking base layers rather than cotton, which traps sweat and prevents the breathability membrane from working effectively.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep the jacket in optimal condition, adhere to the following care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C using a non-biological detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the waterproof membrane of its effectiveness.
- Drying: Air dry the jacket on a hanger away from direct heat sources like radiators. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can damage the synthetic insulation and reflective elements.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid folding the jacket while it is damp.
- Re-proofing: After heavy use, you may choose to apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray to the outer shell to maintain the water-beading performance.
