FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
No, the Regatta Lofthouse Insulated Jacket features a water-repellent finish, which provides protection against light rain and drizzles. It is not designed to be fully waterproof in heavy downpours.
How do I best clean the jacket?
Always check the care label inside the jacket for specific instructions. Generally, machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent, avoiding fabric softeners. Air dry only; do not tumble dry.
What is Warmloft insulation?
Warmloft is a synthetic insulation designed by Regatta that provides excellent warmth without adding excessive bulk. It's lightweight and comfortable, making it ideal for active children in cold weather.
Will this jacket keep my child warm in freezing temperatures?
The Warmloft insulation is designed for excellent warmth in chilly conditions. For very cold or freezing temperatures, consider layering the jacket over a warm fleece or base layer to enhance thermal performance.
Are the reflective trims durable?
Yes, the reflective trims are designed for durability and to enhance visibility in low light. To maintain their effectiveness, keep them clean and avoid abrasive cleaning methods.
Can this jacket be used for all genders?
Yes, the Regatta Lofthouse Insulated Jacket is designed as a unisex product, suitable for both boys and girls.
How do I restore the water repellency?
If water no longer beads on the surface, you can restore the water repellency by applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment specifically designed for outdoor clothing. These are available as sprays or wash-in products.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels less warm than before.
Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt can reduce insulation effectiveness. Avoid compressing the jacket for long periods during storage, as this can flatten the Warmloft insulation. Gently fluff the jacket by hand or tumble dry on very low heat with tennis balls (if care label permits) to restore loft.
Water no longer beads on the fabric surface.
The water-repellent finish may be wearing off. This is normal with use and washing. Re-treat the jacket with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray or wash-in product designed for outdoor gear. Always follow the DWR product's instructions carefully.
Zipper is stiff or gets stuck.
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Clean the zipper with a small brush to remove any dirt or debris. A silicone-based lubricant or a graphite pencil rubbed along the teeth can help smooth its operation. Always zip and unzip gently.
Jacket smells or seems unhygienic.
Follow the washing instructions on the care label (typically machine wash cold, gentle cycle). Ensure the jacket is thoroughly dried before storage to prevent mildew or persistent odors. Airing the jacket out after each use can also help.
Reflective trims appear less bright.
Ensure the trims are clean. Dirt and grime can reduce reflectivity. Gently wipe them with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners, which could damage the reflective material.

Care & Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and performance of your jacket, follow these guidelines:
- Washing:
- Check the care label inside the jacket for specific washing instructions.
- Typically, machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colors.
- Use a mild detergent, avoiding fabric softeners as they can impair the water-repellent finish.
- Close all zippers and fasteners before washing to prevent snagging.
- Drying:
- Do not tumble dry, as high heat can damage the insulation and water-repellent coating.
- Air dry flat or hang dry in a well-ventilated area, away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
- Water Repellency Restoration:
- Over time, the water-repellent finish may wear off. If water no longer beads on the surface, consider re-treating the jacket with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray or wash-in product suitable for technical outerwear. Follow the product manufacturer's instructions.
- Storage:
- Store the jacket clean and dry in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing it for long periods to maintain the loft of the Warmloft insulation.
