Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Illuma Reflective Waterproof Insulated Jacket is an ideal choice for active children who need reliable protection during cold, wet, and windy weather. By utilizing advanced Isotex 15000 fabric technology and recycled Thermo-Guard insulation, this jacket provides an excellent balance of weatherproofing and thermal warmth. While it offers superior defense against the elements, parents should note that it is designed primarily as an outdoor performance piece and may feel slightly bulky during high-intensity indoor sports.

FAQs

Is the jacket fully machine washable?

Yes, it is machine washable, but please use a gentle cycle with mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners.

Is the hood detachable?

No, this jacket features a 'grown-on' hood, meaning it is permanently attached for better weather protection.

What does '15000' refer to in the fabric description?

This refers to the hydrostatic head, meaning the fabric can withstand a column of water 15,000mm high before leaking.

Can this be worn over a school blazer?

The jacket has a standard fit; if the child will wear a thick blazer underneath, you may want to consider sizing up.

Is it suitable for snowy conditions?

Yes, it is waterproof and insulated, making it appropriate for light snow and winter play.

Does the reflective material require batteries?

No, the reflective detailing is passive; it reflects light from external sources like car headlights.

Troubleshooting

Water soaking into the fabric surface

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Apply a reproofing spray or wash-in treatment to restore beading.

Jacket feels less warm over time

Check if the insulation has become matted due to improper washing. A gentle tumble dry with tennis balls on a low heat setting can help restore loft.

Zip is sticking or hard to pull

Check for debris or fabric caught in the teeth. Gently clean with a soft brush and apply a small amount of silicone lubricant if necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior waterproof rating (15,000mm) for heavy rain
  • Environmentally friendly with recycled insulation
  • Excellent warmth-to-weight ratio
  • Highly visible reflective detailing for safety
  • Easy-to-use elasticated cuffs and hem

Cons

  • Not intended for extreme mountain-grade cold
  • Synthetic insulation can be bulky compared to down
  • Requires periodic re-proofing to maintain DWR finish

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This jacket is designed for longevity with minimal fuss. To maintain the waterproof integrity of the Isotex membrane, avoid using heavy fabric softeners during wash cycles, as these can strip the protective finish. It is recommended to wash the jacket in cold water on a gentle cycle and hang it to air dry. To restore the DWR finish after several washes, you can use a spray-on or wash-in water-repellent treatment. Always check the elasticated cuffs and hood binding periodically to ensure they remain snug against the skin to prevent drafts from entering.
