Product Information
Full details
This Regatta Farbank II Waterproof Jacket in Blue, size 6 years, is designed for active young boys who need reliable protection from the elements. Its key benefit is excellent waterproofing and windproofing, keeping them dry and warm during outdoor adventures. A potential consideration is that the 'Down-Touch, Synthetic, Warmloft' filling, while warm, may not offer the same compressibility as natural down. This jacket features a breathable, waterproof, and windproof fabric with taped seams and a DWR finish, a grown-on, sherpa-lined hood, adjustable cuffs and hem, and reflective trim for visibility.

FAQs
What does Isotex 10000 mean?
Isotex 10000 refers to the fabric's rating for waterproofing and breathability. It means the fabric can withstand 10,000mm of water pressure and allows 10,000g/m²/24hrs of water vapor to pass through, indicating good protection from rain and comfort during activity.
Is the synthetic filling as warm as down?
The Warmloft synthetic filling is designed to offer warmth comparable to down, providing excellent insulation without the bulk. However, performance can vary based on external conditions and layering.
How do I ensure the best fit for my child?
Use the size guide provided (e.g., 6 years corresponds to a specific chest measurement) and adjust the hook-and-loop cuffs and shockcord hem to achieve a snug fit that prevents wind and rain from entering.
Can this jacket be used in snow?
Yes, the waterproof and windproof features, along with the warm filling, make it suitable for playing in light snow. For very cold or deep snow conditions, additional warm layers underneath would be recommended.
Is the hood removable?
No, the hood is grown-on, meaning it is permanently attached to the jacket.
Does the jacket have pockets?
The provided product information does not specify pockets. Please refer to product images or detailed descriptions from the retailer for this information.
How should I clean the jacket to maintain its waterproofness?
Machine wash at 40°C with fasteners closed, and consider using a specific DWR re-proofer after washing to restore its water-repellent properties. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof
Ensure the jacket is clean and free from dirt or residue. Reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish specifically designed for outdoor gear following product instructions. Check that all seams are intact.
Child feels cold despite wearing the jacket
Verify that the cuffs and hem are securely adjusted to prevent drafts. Ensure the zipper is fully closed. Consider layering additional warm clothing underneath, especially in very cold conditions. Check if the hood is properly fitted around the head.
Jacket zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a brush to remove any debris. Apply a small amount of beeswax or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper pull.
Sherpa lining feels matted after washing
Gently brush the sherpa lining with a soft brush after drying to restore its texture. Ensure the jacket is not over-dried in the tumble dryer, as this can sometimes affect synthetic linings.
