FAQs

What is the main benefit of the 'feather-free' insulation?

The feather-free insulation uses premium synthetic down, which provides excellent warmth without the weight of natural down. It also offers consistent insulation even if it gets damp and is a more sustainable alternative.

How long does the water-repellent finish typically last?

The durability of the water-repellent finish varies with use and washing. It's designed for light showers, and may need to be reactivated or reapplied after multiple washes or extensive wear to maintain optimal performance.

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

No, this jacket features a water-repellent finish, which is designed to protect against light rain or drizzle. For heavy rain, a fully waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.

What age range does the '9-10 Years' size typically cover?

The '9-10 Years' size is generally designed to fit children aged 9 to 10 years old. It's always recommended to check the specific size chart provided by Regatta for precise measurements.

Can the hood be removed?

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

What are the pockets like?

The jacket has two concealed zip hand pockets for secure storage. It also features two pleated chest pockets with hook and loop closure.

How should I clean the jacket to preserve its features?

It's best to machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Do not iron.

Troubleshooting

Jacket not shedding water effectively

The water-repellent finish may have worn off. Reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment suitable for synthetic fabrics. Follow the product's instructions for application and heat setting if required.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it remains stiff, a small amount of graphite from a pencil or a bit of wax can be applied to the teeth to help it glide smoothly.

Jacket feels less warm after washing

Ensure the insulation is evenly distributed. After washing, tumble dry on low heat for a short period to help fluff up the synthetic fill. Avoid harsh detergents or excessive heat, which can damage the insulation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This jacket requires no specific setup beyond wearing it. It is designed for unisex children and is compatible with most outdoor activities and school attire. For care, it is recommended to machine wash the jacket following the instructions on the care label, typically on a cool or gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the water-repellent properties. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. To maintain the water-repellency, consider applying a re-waterproofing spray suitable for technical outerwear after several washes.
