FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
No, the Regatta Kids Fabrizia II Jacket features a water-repellent finish, which is excellent for light rain and splashes. For heavy downpours or prolonged exposure to wet weather, a fully waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.
How do I choose the correct size for my child?
Refer to Regatta's size guide, usually found on the product page or their website. Measure your child's chest, waist, and height, and compare these measurements to the chart. This specific jacket is for size 6.
Can this jacket be tumble dried?
It can be tumble dried on a low heat setting. However, air drying is often recommended to best preserve the Thermoguard insulation and the water-repellent finish, as well as the faux fur trim.
What is Thermoguard insulation?
Thermoguard is a synthetic insulation developed by Regatta. It consists of advanced fibers that trap air, providing excellent warmth without excessive bulk, even when wet, making it ideal for active children.
Are the reflective trims durable?
Yes, the reflective trims are designed to be durable through regular wear and washing. However, to maintain their integrity, it's always best to follow the jacket's care instructions and avoid harsh chemicals.
Is the faux fur detachable?
The product description states 'faux fur-trimmed hood,' implying it is integrated with the hood. It does not mention being detachable. Therefore, assume it is not detachable.
What age is size 6 for?
Size 6 typically corresponds to children aged 5-6 years old. However, it's always best to check Regatta's specific size chart as children's sizes can vary between brands.
Troubleshooting
Jacket doesn't seem warm enough
Ensure the jacket is properly zipped up and the hood is utilized. Check the layering underneath; for very cold conditions, additional base layers are recommended. Make sure the child isn't wearing it too loosely, which can allow cold air in.
Water seems to soak through
The jacket has a water-repellent finish, suitable for light rain. It is not fully waterproof. For heavy rain or prolonged exposure, a fully waterproof outer shell would be required. Ensure the finish hasn't been compromised by harsh detergents or high heat washing; re-proofing sprays can sometimes restore repellency.
Zipper is stiff or stuck
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper as you try to move it. If it's still stiff, a small amount of graphite from a pencil or a zipper lubricant can be applied carefully to the teeth.
Faux fur trim looks matted or tangled
After washing and drying, gently brush the faux fur with a soft-bristled brush or a comb with wide teeth to restore its original fluffiness and appearance.

Care Instructions
Proper care is essential to maintain the jacket's performance and appearance.
- Washing: The jacket is machine washable. Always refer to the care label inside the garment for specific instructions, including recommended water temperature and spin cycle. Typically, washing on a gentle cycle with similar colours is advised.
- Drying: Avoid high heat. Tumble dry on low or air dry to prevent damage to the insulation and water-repellent finish. The faux fur trim may benefit from air drying to maintain its fluffiness.
- Ironing: Do not iron. High heat can damage the polyester fabric, insulation, and water-repellent coating.
- Storage: Store the jacket in a dry, cool place when not in use. Ensure it is clean and completely dry before storing to prevent mildew or odors.
- Specific Faux Fur Care: If the faux fur trim becomes matted, gently brush it with a soft brush once dry to restore its appearance.
