FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket has a durable water-repellent finish and is waterproof, making it suitable for moderate to heavy rain. For prolonged exposure or very heavy downpours, additional waterproof outer layers might be beneficial.

How do I know which size to choose?

The jacket is available in sizes from 6 months up to 6 years. Please refer to the specific size chart for Regatta children's wear, considering the UK sizing provided (e.g., 2-3 years).

Can this jacket be worn in winter?

The softshell material provides some insulation, but for cold winter weather, it is best used as an outer shell layer over warmer clothing such as fleece or insulated jackets.

Are the reflective prints durable?

The reflective prints are designed to last but their durability can be affected by washing and wear. Following the care instructions will help maintain their reflectivity.

What does 'breathable' mean for this jacket?

Breathable means the fabric allows moisture vapor (like sweat) to escape from the inside of the jacket to the outside, helping to keep the wearer dry and comfortable from the inside out.

How often should I re-apply the water-repellent finish?

The need to re-apply depends on usage and washing frequency. Typically, after several washes or when water no longer beads up and rolls off the fabric, it's time to re-treat it.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency seems reduced.

Wash the jacket following care instructions and apply a specific water-repellent treatment for outdoor clothing. Ensure no fabric softener was used, as this can impede water repellency.

Jacket feels damp inside after wear.

Ensure the jacket is not too tight and that the child is not overheating. Check that the breathability is not compromised by heavy layering underneath.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth to remove any debris. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant to the teeth.
