Regatta Hurdle Waterproof Insulated Jacket - Black

Isotex 10000 indicates a hydrostatic head of 10,000mm, meaning the fabric can withstand a 10,000mm column of water before leakage. This provides excellent waterproof protection for prolonged exposure to rain.

Yes, with Thermoguard insulation, it provides good warmth for cold conditions. For extremely cold winter weather, it's recommended to layer appropriately underneath with base layers and fleeces to maximize thermal performance.

While it offers warmth and waterproofing, it is not specifically designed as a technical ski/snowboard jacket, which typically includes features like powder skirts and specialized pockets. It may be suitable for light snow play or as a warm outer layer in milder ski conditions.

To maintain the effectiveness of the reflective trims, wash the jacket according to the care label, avoiding harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing on the reflective areas. Always ensure the jacket is thoroughly rinsed.

Thermoguard insulation is made from synthetic fibers (polyester) designed to trap air, providing warmth even when wet, and offering a good warmth-to-weight ratio.

The main fabric of the jacket is waterproof, and the pockets are designed to be practical in wet conditions. However, for highly sensitive electronics or items that must stay absolutely dry, additional waterproof protection (e.g., a dry bag) is always recommended within the pockets.

Ensure the jacket's DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating is still active. If water is soaking in rather than beading off, wash the jacket with a technical cleaner and consider re-applying a DWR treatment. Check for any tears or damage to the fabric.

Verify the jacket is zipped fully and the hood and cuffs are properly adjusted to seal out drafts. Ensure the child is wearing appropriate layers underneath for the temperature conditions. Thermoguard insulation works best when combined with suitable base and mid-layers.

Check if any fabric is caught in the zipper teeth and gently free it. Clean the zipper teeth with a small brush to remove dirt. If still stiff, apply a specialized zipper lubricant sparingly.

Reflective trims are designed to be durable. Ensure the jacket is washed according to care instructions, avoiding harsh detergents or abrasive cleaning which could degrade the reflective material over time.
