FAQs
What age range is the 9-10 years size suitable for?
The 9-10 years size is designed for children typically within that age bracket, but it is always recommended to check the specific measurements against the child for the best fit.
How breathable is the fabric?
The jacket features Isotex 20000 stretch fabric with a breathability rating of 20,000 g/m/24 hours, indicating good moisture vapor transfer.
Can this jacket be worn in very cold weather?
This is primarily a waterproof and windproof shell jacket. For very cold weather, it is designed to be layered over insulating clothing like fleece or down for warmth.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The jacket features zipped pockets, which offer protection from light rain. However, for prolonged exposure to heavy rain, it is advisable not to store sensitive items in the pockets.
How do I maintain the waterproof properties?
Regular washing according to the care instructions and re-applying a DWR treatment periodically will help maintain the waterproof and water-repellent finish.
Is there a hood adjustment mechanism?
Yes, the jacket has a grown-on technical hood with elastication for adjustment around the face and a high collar.
What is the benefit of the mesh lining?
The mesh lining enhances comfort by providing a breathable layer against the skin and improving air circulation within the jacket.
Troubleshooting
Jacket no longer feels waterproof or is leaking.
Ensure all seams are intact. The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need replenishing. Follow the care instructions for re-applying a DWR treatment suitable for waterproof fabrics.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently try to clear any fabric or debris from the zipper track. You can use a pencil graphite or a small amount of wax to lubricate the teeth. Ensure the zipper is clean before each use.
Jacket feels clammy inside despite being dry.
This can indicate reduced breathability. Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the pores of the fabric. Wash according to care instructions. Ensure the mesh lining is not obstructed.
Elastic cord in the hem is frayed or broken.
Contact Regatta customer service for repair options or consult a local tailor for replacement of the shock cord.
