Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Farbank II Waterproof Jacket is designed for children, offering excellent protection against the elements with its waterproof, windproof, and breathable Isotex 10000 fabric. Its key benefit is keeping young adventurers dry and warm in various weather conditions, thanks to Warmloft insulation and a cozy sherpa-lined hood. A potential caveat for younger children (up to age 8) is the inclusion of a printed name label, which might not be ideal for all families.

FAQs

What age group is this jacket designed for?

This jacket is designed for children. A printed name label is included for sizes up to age 8.

Is the hood removable?

The hood is grown-on, meaning it is attached to the jacket and is not designed to be removed.

What does Isotex 10000 mean?

Isotex 10000 is a waterproof, windproof, and breathable fabric technology that can withstand 10,000mm of water pressure and allows 8,000g/m²/24h of moisture vapor to pass through.

How do I wash the jacket?

Machine wash the jacket inside out at 40 degrees Celsius using a mild liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and rinse thoroughly. Do not bleach or dry clean.

Can this jacket be used in very cold weather?

The jacket features Warmloft insulation, making it warm for cooler conditions. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer a warm mid-layer (like a fleece) underneath.

How do I maintain the waterproofness of the jacket?

To maintain water repellency, you can re-proof the jacket periodically using a wash-in or spray-on re-proofer suitable for waterproof and breathable fabrics, especially after several washes.

Are there any pockets on the jacket?

The provided product description does not specify pockets. Please refer to product images or further details if available.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer repelling water effectively.

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Re-apply a suitable waterproofing treatment following the product's instructions. Ensure the jacket is clean before re-proofing.

Zipper is sticking or difficult to close.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free any obstructions. Lubricate the zipper with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant.

Inner lining feels damp after use.

This could be due to insufficient breathability for high-intensity activity or prolonged exposure to heavy rain. Ensure the jacket is not too tight and consider if the activity level exceeds the jacket's typical performance range. Check that all vents (if any) are open.

Jacket appears less warm than expected.

Ensure the jacket is zipped up fully and the cuffs and hem are tightened to prevent heat loss. Consider adding a warmer mid-layer underneath, as the jacket is designed to be an outer shell with synthetic insulation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof and windproof protection for all-weather wear.
  • Breathable fabric prevents overheating during activity.
  • Warm synthetic insulation keeps children comfortable in cold temperatures.
  • Adjustable features ensure a snug and effective fit.
  • High-visibility reflective trim for safety.

Cons

  • The grown-on hood may not be removable for varied styling preferences.
  • Printed name label is only included up to age 8, potentially limiting its use for older children.
  • While durable, polyester material might not offer the same natural feel as other fabrics.
  • Sherpa lining, while warm, can add a slight bulk.

This jacket is designed for children and suitable for most outdoor activities. It is intended to be worn as an outer layer over other clothing. It is compatible with various types of children's outerwear, such as fleece mid-layers or base layers.

Care:

  • Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry. Do not bleach or dry clean.
