Regatta Calderdale III Waterproof Jacket - Pink Potion - 7-8 Years

Isotex 10000 is Regatta's waterproof and breathable fabric technology. The '10000' refers to both the hydrostatic head (10,000mm, indicating high waterproofness under pressure) and the breathability rating (10,000g/m2/24hrs, indicating excellent moisture vapor transmission from the inside out).

This jacket provides excellent waterproof and windproof protection. However, it is not insulated. For very cold weather, it should be worn over appropriate warm layers (e.g., fleece) to provide thermal insulation. It acts as an effective outer shell.

No, the jacket features a 'grown-on technical hood,' meaning it is integrated into the jacket's design and cannot be detached. This design provides continuous protection from the elements.

To keep reflective trims effective, avoid excessive scrubbing or harsh chemicals during cleaning. Gentle washing and air drying will help preserve their integrity. Ensure they are clean and unobstructed when worn for maximum visibility.

The printed name label is included for jackets up to age 8. For this 7-8 year size, it will be present and useful for easy identification, especially in school or club settings.

Yes, this jacket is made with Isotex 10,000 recycled peached polyester fabric and contains recycled content, contributing to environmental sustainability by utilizing repurposed materials.

The jacket features adjustable cuffs with hook-and-loop fasteners and an adjustable shock cord hem (for ages 7+). These allow you to customize the fit around the wrists and bottom of the jacket to keep out wind, rain, and provide a snug, comfortable feel.

The jacket features 'block colour panels' which give it a modern, active, and athletic aesthetic. This design is suitable for outdoor adventures and casual wear, providing a dynamic visual appeal.

This is often due to the DWR finish wearing off or dirt clogging the fabric pores. Clean the jacket with a technical wash designed for waterproof outerwear, and consider re-applying a DWR treatment spray. Ensure all seams are still intact; if not, a professional repair might be needed.

Ensure the child is not overdressed underneath the jacket. Layers made of moisture-wicking materials work best. Also, check that the jacket is clean, as dirt can reduce breathability. The breathability rating is 10,000g/m2/24hrs, so consider if the activity level exceeds this, or if the jacket's DWR needs re-application.

Clean zippers gently with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris. Apply a zipper lubricant (like zipper wax) sparingly to ease movement. Avoid forcing stiff zippers to prevent damage to the zipper teeth or pull.

Ensure the reflective trims are clean. Dirt and mud can obscure them. Gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap (if necessary). Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing which can degrade the reflective material. Ensure they are not covered by other clothing or accessories when worn.
