FAQs

What does 'Packaway' mean?

'Packaway' means the jacket is designed to be folded and stored into a small, integrated stuff sack or its own pocket, making it very easy to carry when not in use.

How do I find the right size for my child?

Refer to the Regatta Kids Sizing chart, which provides approximate chest measurements for various age groups. It's recommended to measure your child's chest and compare it to the chart for the best fit.

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket has a waterproof rating of 5000mm (Isolite 5000) and taped seams, making it suitable for moderate to light rain. For prolonged exposure to heavy downpours, a jacket with a higher waterproof rating might be more appropriate.

Can I use fabric softener when washing this jacket?

No, fabric softener should not be used as it can damage the waterproof and breathable properties of the fabric and clog its pores.

What is the 'DWR' finish?

DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. It's a treatment applied to the outer fabric that causes water to bead up and roll off, helping to keep the wearer dry and the fabric from becoming waterlogged.

How breathable is this jacket?

The jacket has a breathability rating of 5000g/m²/24hrs, which is considered good for general outdoor activities, allowing moisture vapor to escape and helping to prevent overheating.

Does the hood have a visor?

The hood is described as adjustable and unlined. It does not appear to have an integrated visor based on the product description.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer fully waterproof

Ensure the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish is intact. Consider reapplying a DWR treatment suitable for outdoor fabrics. Ensure the jacket is clean before reproofing, as dirt can impair performance.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris. You can also use a graphite pencil or a small amount of wax to lubricate the zipper.

Jacket feels clammy inside

This can indicate reduced breathability. Ensure the garment is clean, as dirt and oils can block pores. If the issue persists, consider the environmental conditions; in very humid or warm conditions, some condensation may occur even with breathable fabrics.

Seams are leaking

Check if the taped seams are damaged or peeling. If so, this may affect the jacket's waterproof integrity. For minor issues, specialized seam sealants can sometimes be used, but significant damage may limit the jacket's effectiveness.
