FAQs
How do I determine the correct size for my child?
This jacket is sized for children aged 9-10 years. For the best fit, refer to Regatta's official size guide, which usually provides measurements for chest, waist, and height. Ensure there's enough room for comfortable layering.
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
Yes, with an Isotex 10000 waterproof rating, this jacket is designed to provide excellent protection in heavy rain, keeping your child dry during outdoor activities.
Can this jacket be worn in winter?
The Warmloft insulation provides good warmth, making it suitable for cooler temperatures. For very cold winter conditions, we recommend layering it with appropriate base and mid-layers for optimal comfort and warmth.
How should I wash this jacket to maintain its features?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C using a technical cleaner specifically designed for waterproof and breathable outdoor apparel. Do not use fabric softener, bleach, or standard detergents, as these can damage the fabric's performance.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The main fabric of the jacket is waterproof. While the patch pockets offer protection, it's generally best practice to keep sensitive electronic items or documents in a waterproof pouch if there's a risk of extreme wet conditions.
What do 'Isotex 10000' and 'Warmloft insulation' mean?
Isotex 10000 indicates a high level of waterproofing (10,000mm hydrostatic head) and breathability (10,000g/m²/24hrs), meaning it keeps rain out while allowing internal moisture to escape. Warmloft insulation is a synthetic, lightweight, and highly compressible fill designed to provide excellent warmth.
Does the hood detach?
Info needed: Please refer to the product's specific features or manufacturer's description regarding hood detachability, as this detail is not provided.
Troubleshooting
Water is soaking through the fabric, not beading off.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish might need to be refreshed. Wash the jacket with a technical cleaner and then apply a DWR re-proofing treatment suitable for waterproof breathable fabrics. Ensure the jacket is clean before re-proofing.
Jacket doesn't seem warm enough.
Ensure appropriate layering underneath the jacket. The Warmloft insulation provides warmth, but in very cold conditions, a base layer and a mid-layer (like a fleece) are recommended for optimal heat retention.
Zipper is sticking or difficult to move.
Clean any dirt or debris from the zipper teeth. Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or a graphite pencil lead to the teeth to help it glide smoothly. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Compatibility:
Designed for kids aged 9-10 years, this unisex jacket is compatible with various layering systems. For optimal warmth, pair with thermal base layers and mid-layers as needed.
Care:
- Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C) with a technical outdoor gear wash designed for waterproof fabrics. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, and harsh detergents, as these can degrade the waterproofing and breathability.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry away from direct heat. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing.
- Reproofing: Over time, the durable water repellent (DWR) finish may wear off. If water no longer beads on the surface, consider reproofing with a spray-on or wash-in DWR product specific for waterproof breathable fabrics.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ensuring it's clean and completely dry to prevent mildew.
