FAQs
What does 'Isotex 20000' mean?
Isotex 20000 refers to the fabric's waterproof rating. It means the fabric can withstand a water column of 20,000 millimeters and has a breathability rating of 20,000 g/m²/24 hours, offering excellent protection from rain and allowing moisture vapor to escape.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The jacket is waterproof and windproof, providing good protection. However, it is primarily a shell jacket. For very cold conditions, it is recommended to layer with insulating clothing such as fleece or down.
How do I know which size to choose?
Refer to the size guide for Regatta children's clothing. The provided size is '6' (UK sizing). Consider the child's chest measurement and height for the best fit.
Can the hood be removed?
No, the hood is a technical fixed hood and cannot be removed.
Are the reflective trims durable?
The reflective trims are designed to be durable for standard use. Following the care instructions will help preserve their reflectivity over time.
Does the jacket have a name tag?
Yes, a name tag is included for ages up to 8 years, which can be useful for school or group activities.
What is the benefit of stretch fabric?
The stretch fabric allows for greater freedom of movement, making the jacket more comfortable for active children and less restrictive during play or sports.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer as waterproof
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Wash the jacket according to care instructions and then tumble dry on a low heat to reactivate it. If performance is still reduced, consider applying a DWR re-proofing spray.
Jacket feels damp inside
This can be due to high humidity or intense activity. Ensure the jacket is properly ventilated when possible. Check that all zippers and closures are secured to prevent wind ingress. For extreme activity, consider layering with moisture-wicking base layers.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to move
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a small brush to remove any dirt or debris. Once dry, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper teeth.

Care Instructions:
To maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable qualities, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash at 40°C (or as per the care label). Use a specific technical wash if available, or a small amount of non-biological liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach, as these can compromise the fabric's performance.
- Rinsing: Ensure a double rinse cycle to remove all detergent residue.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry away from direct heat sources. Once dry, a short tumble dry on a low heat can help reactivate the water-repellent finish.
- Re-waterproofing: For continued optimal performance, consider re-applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish periodically, following the product instructions.
