FAQs

What does 'Isotex 10000' mean?

Isotex 10000 refers to the fabric's rating, meaning it can withstand 10,000mm of water pressure per 24 hours and has a breathability rating of 10,000g/m²/24 hours. This ensures good protection from rain and allows some moisture vapor to escape.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

This jacket is primarily designed for waterproof and windproof protection. It is not insulated. For very cold weather, it should be worn as an outer layer over warm mid-layers like fleece or down.

How do I adjust the hood?

The hood features a fixed, adjustable technical design. Use the elastic tightening system around the edge of the hood and the toggle at the back (if present) to achieve a snug fit around the child's head.

Are the reflective trims durable?

The 360-degree reflective trims are designed for durability and visibility. They should withstand normal washing cycles, but excessive abrasion or harsh cleaning methods may affect their longevity.

What is the benefit of using recycled materials?

Using recycled polyester reduces the demand for new raw materials, conserves energy, and minimizes waste, contributing to a more sustainable production process.

What age range does the '3-4' size correspond to?

The '3-4' size typically corresponds to children aged 3 to 4 years old, but it's always recommended to check the specific Regatta size chart for precise measurements.

Can the jacket be packed down small for travel?

While not explicitly a packable jacket, the polyester material is relatively lightweight and flexible, allowing it to be folded or rolled into a backpack for convenience.

Troubleshooting

Jacket seems less waterproof over time.

The durable water repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Reapply a suitable waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment designed for outdoor clothing, following the product instructions.

Child feels clammy inside the jacket.

While breathable, extreme exertion in very humid conditions can lead to some moisture buildup. Ensure the child is wearing appropriate base layers and check that all vents (if any) and the hood are adjusted correctly to allow airflow.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a little soap to remove any dirt or residue. Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. A small amount of wax or silicone lubricant can help if it persists.
