The Regatta Lever jacket offers excellent protection against the elements with its Isolite 15000 fabric, ensuring kids stay dry during school days and outdoor adventures.

FAQs

What does 'Isolite 15000' mean?

'Isolite 15000' refers to Regatta's technical fabric technology. The '15000' indicates its waterproof and breathability rating, specifically 15,000mm hydrostatic head for waterproofing and 15,000g/m²/24hr for breathability, offering good protection and comfort.

How does the packaway feature work?

The jacket can be folded and stuffed into its own lower left pocket. This pocket is designed to convert into a compact pouch, allowing the jacket to be carried easily in a bag or attached to a belt.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The Lever jacket is designed primarily for waterproof and windproof protection. While it can be layered over warmer clothing for cooler weather, it does not provide significant insulation on its own and is not intended as a heavy winter coat.

Are the reflective trims durable?

The reflective trims are designed to enhance visibility. While generally durable for normal wear and washing, prolonged abrasive contact or improper washing can affect their longevity.

What is the purpose of the mesh lining?

The mesh lining in the body and hood helps to improve breathability by allowing air to circulate between the wearer's skin and the waterproof outer fabric, enhancing comfort during activity.

Can the hood be removed?

No, the hood is grown-on, meaning it is permanently attached to the jacket and cannot be removed.

What sizes are available for the printed name label?

The printed name label is a feature included on sizes up to age 8. Larger sizes do not come with this integrated label.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer beading water effectively.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need to be reapplied. Wash the jacket according to care instructions and then apply a suitable DWR treatment as per the product's instructions.

Jacket seems less breathable than expected.

Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and grime can affect fabric performance. Check that the fabric's pores are not blocked. Avoid using fabric softeners, which can impede breathability.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.

Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. You can use a graphite pencil or a small amount of wax (like beeswax) on the zipper teeth to help it glide more smoothly. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
