FAQs

Is the Regatta Valenta jacket suitable for heavy rain?

Yes, the jacket features Isotex 10,000 fabric, which provides excellent waterproof protection, making it suitable for heavy rain and snowy conditions.

What does 'Isotex 10,000' mean?

Isotex 10,000 indicates a high level of waterproofing (10,000mm hydrostatic head) and breathability (10,000g/m²/24hrs). This means the fabric is highly resistant to water penetration while allowing moisture vapor to escape, keeping your child dry and comfortable.

Is the hood detachable?

No, the Regatta Valenta jacket features an integrated, sherpa-lined hood, designed for continuous warmth and protection.

How warm is the Warmloft insulation?

Warmloft is a lightweight, high-performance synthetic insulation designed to trap heat efficiently, providing excellent warmth comparable to down but maintaining performance even when wet. It ensures your child stays warm in cold conditions.

What age group is this specific jacket size (7-8) for?

This specific jacket is designed for children typically aged 7 to 8 years old. Please refer to Regatta's sizing chart for precise measurements if available.

Can I machine wash this jacket?

Yes, you can machine wash the jacket on a gentle cycle at 30°C. It's crucial to use a technical cleaner designed for waterproof outerwear and avoid standard detergents, fabric softeners, or bleach to protect the fabric's properties.

Troubleshooting

Jacket appears to be losing its waterproofing

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating might need refreshing. Wash the jacket with a technical cleaner designed for waterproof fabrics, and then apply a spray-on or wash-in DWR re-proofer. Ensure the jacket is clean before re-proofing.

Jacket isn't as warm as expected in cold weather

Ensure your child is wearing appropriate layers underneath. In very cold conditions, a wicking base layer and a mid-layer (like a fleece) are recommended beneath the jacket. Also, check that the adjustable cuffs and waist are snug to prevent cold air entry.

Reflective details are not as bright

Gently clean the areas with reflective details using a soft cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the reflective material. Regular washing according to care instructions should keep them clear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

This jacket requires no complex setup. Simply put it on over your child's clothing. For optimal warmth and comfort in very cold conditions, consider layering with appropriate base and mid-layers underneath.

Compatibility

The Regatta Valenta jacket is designed for kids in the 7-8 year old age group, with a unisex design suitable for all children. Its versatile design means it pairs well with various outdoor clothing, from hiking trousers to school uniforms. Always ensure the correct size for proper fit and performance.

Care

To ensure the longevity of your Regatta Valenta jacket's waterproof and insulating properties, follow these care instructions:

  • Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C) on a gentle cycle with a technical wash specifically designed for waterproof outerwear. Close all zippers and fasteners before washing.
  • Detergent: Avoid using conventional detergents, fabric softeners, or bleach, as these can damage the waterproof coating and insulation.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat. Do not iron.
  • Re-proofing: Over time, the durable water repellent (DWR) finish may wear off. If water no longer beads on the surface, consider re-applying a DWR treatment spray or wash-in product according to the product's instructions.
