FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
No, the Regatta Lofthouse Insulated Jacket features a water-repellent finish, meaning it will shed light rain and splashes. It is not designed to be fully waterproof in heavy downpours.
What kind of insulation does it use?
It uses Warmloft insulation, which is a lightweight, synthetic insulation designed to provide warmth and comfort.
Can this jacket be worn for skiing or extreme winter sports?
While warm, this jacket is generally designed for everyday wear, school, and casual outdoor adventures. For extreme winter sports like skiing, you might need a more specialized jacket with higher waterproof ratings and specific features for those activities.
How do I ensure the reflective trims remain effective?
Regular washing according to care instructions won't diminish the reflective properties. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners on these areas.
Is the hood removable?
The product description mentions an elasticated hood, but does not specify if it is removable. Based on the description, it appears to be a fixed hood.
What does 'eco-conscious' mean for this jacket?
The jacket is made from 100% recycled polyester, meaning the fabric and potentially other components are sourced from recycled materials, reducing environmental impact.
How should I choose the right size for my child?
Refer to the manufacturer's size chart, usually found on the product page. Consider your child's current measurements for chest, waist, and height, and factor in if you want room for layering.
Troubleshooting
Jacket isn't shedding water as effectively as before.
The water-repellent finish can degrade over time or with repeated washes. Ensure you're not using fabric softener. You can also try re-treating the jacket with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray specifically designed for outerwear.
Zipper is stiff or gets stuck.
Gently rub a graphite pencil along the zipper teeth to lubricate it. Check for any fabric caught in the zipper and carefully pull it free. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Jacket doesn't seem warm enough in very cold conditions.
While the jacket offers good insulation, it's designed for general cold weather. For extremely low temperatures, ensure your child is wearing appropriate base and mid-layers underneath to maximize warmth.
