Regatta Hurdle Waterproof Insulated Jacket - Blue - 10 Years

Isotex 10000 is Regatta's proprietary waterproof and breathable fabric technology. '10000' refers to the hydrostatic head rating, meaning it can withstand 10,000mm of water before it starts to seep through, indicating a high level of waterproofing suitable for prolonged rain. It also allows internal moisture (perspiration) to escape.

Thermoguard is a synthetic insulation designed to trap air, providing warmth without excessive bulk. It also performs well even when wet, unlike down insulation. While specific temperature ratings vary with activity levels and other clothing worn, it's designed to keep children comfortably warm in cold, damp conditions.

While it provides warmth and waterproofing, the Hurdle Jacket is primarily designed for general outdoor activities and adventures. For dedicated winter sports like skiing, you might consider jackets with more specialized features such as powder skirts, helmet-compatible hoods, and enhanced durability for colder, harsher alpine environments. It could serve as a good layer in mild ski conditions.

Yes, it can be tumble dried on a low heat setting. However, air drying is often gentler and helps preserve the jacket's waterproof coatings for longer. Always refer to the care label for the most accurate instructions. (> Info needed: [product-specific care label instructions])

The jacket's primary fabric is waterproof. While the zipped pockets offer good protection for contents against rain, they are generally considered highly water-resistant rather than 100% submersible waterproof. For sensitive electronics, it's always best to use an additional dry bag.

The Regatta Hurdle Waterproof Insulated Jacket is made from durable Polyester.

Yes, the Regatta Hurdle Jacket is designed as a unisex product, suitable for both boys and girls.

Ensure the child is wearing appropriate base layers underneath, especially in very cold conditions. The Thermoguard insulation is effective but layering is key for extreme temperatures. Check if the jacket is fully zipped and the hood is up to minimize heat loss.

First, check for any visible tears or damage. If the jacket is intact, the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish might need reapplication. Wash the jacket according to care instructions and then apply a DWR restoration product. Also, confirm that water isn't seeping in through the neck or cuffs due to gaps with other clothing.

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to work the zipper up and down. For stiffness, a tiny amount of zipper lubricant or even a graphite pencil rubbed on the teeth can help. Avoid forcing the zipper as this can cause damage.

Reflective trims may collect dirt or mud over time. Gently wipe them clean with a damp cloth to restore their reflectivity. Avoid harsh scrubbing that could damage the surface.
