FAQs

What does Isotex 10000 mean?

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).

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

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.

Can the hood be removed?

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.

How do I ensure the reflective trims remain effective?

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.

What age is the printed name label useful for?

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.

Is the jacket made from sustainable materials?

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.

How do I adjust the fit for my child?

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.

What is the 'sporty look' mentioned in the description?

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.

Troubleshooting

Jacket appears less waterproof over time

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.

Child feels clammy inside the jacket despite it being breathable

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.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to operate

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.

Reflective trims lose their visibility or shine

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.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly waterproof and breathable (Isotex 10000) for all-weather protection
  • Eco-friendly due to recycled fabric content
  • Enhanced safety with 360 reflective trims for low-light visibility
  • Practical storage with multiple secure zipped pockets
  • Adjustable cuffs and hem for a customized, snug fit
  • Durable design suitable for active outdoor play and adventures

Cons

  • Specific sporty design and color might not appeal to all children
  • Name label feature is limited to ages up to 8, less useful for this specific size in the long run
  • Requires specific care (technical wash) to maintain waterproof and breathable properties
  • Not insulated, requires layering for warmth in very cold conditions

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

To get the best fit and protection from the Regatta Calderdale III jacket:

  1. Wear Appropriate Layers: For warmth in colder conditions, layer a fleece or thermal top underneath as the jacket itself is not insulated.
  2. Zip Up Fully: Ensure the main zipper is fully closed for maximum protection against wind and rain.
  3. Adjust Cuffs: Use the hook-and-loop fasteners on the cuffs to create a snug fit around your child's wrists, preventing water and wind from entering.
  4. Adjust Hem: For ages 7+, use the shock cord hem adjusters to tighten the bottom of the jacket, sealing out drafts and rain.
  5. Utilize Hood: Pull the grown-on technical hood over the head. Its elastication will provide a secure fit, protecting from wind and rain without needing to adjust toggles.

Compatibility

This specific jacket is tailored for children aged `7-8 years`. Please refer to Regatta's official size chart to ensure the best fit for your child. It's designed as a unisex garment, suitable for all children. This jacket's robust features make it compatible with a wide range of outdoor activities.

Care

Proper care will extend the life and performance of your jacket:

  • Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C) with a technical wash (e.g., Nikwax Tech Wash) designed for waterproof outerwear. Avoid conventional detergents, fabric softeners, and bleach, as these can damage the waterproof membrane and DWR finish.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low setting or hang dry away from direct heat. Heat can sometimes help reactivate the DWR finish.
  • DWR Re-application: After extended use and washing, the Durable Water Repellent finish may diminish. Periodically re-apply a DWR treatment spray (available from outdoor retailers) to maintain the jacket's water-shedding properties.
  • Storage: Store the jacket clean and dry in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight, to preserve its materials.
