FAQs

Is the Regatta Hurdle Jacket truly waterproof?

Yes, it features Isotex 10,000 fabric, which provides excellent waterproofing, capable of withstanding significant rain while maintaining breathability.

How warm is the Thermoguard insulation?

Thermoguard insulation is designed to be lightweight yet highly effective at trapping body heat, providing reliable warmth in cold conditions without excessive bulk.

Can I machine wash this jacket?

Yes, the jacket can be machine washed. However, it's crucial to use a technical outerwear cleaner and wash on a gentle cycle at a low temperature (e.g., 30°C) to protect the waterproofing and insulation. Avoid conventional detergents.

How do I choose the correct size for my child?

We recommend consulting a Regatta size chart which typically provides measurements based on age and height. For insulated jackets, consider if you want room for layering underneath.

What are the reflective trims for?

The reflective trims are a safety feature designed to enhance the child's visibility to others, especially in low-light conditions like dawn, dusk, or foggy weather.

What does 'Isotex 10,000' mean?

Isotex 10,000 refers to the fabric's waterproof and breathable rating. The '10,000' indicates its hydrostatic head (how much water pressure it can withstand) and its breathability rating, both measured in grams per square meter over 24 hours.

Are the pockets waterproof?

While the jacket fabric is waterproof, the zipped pockets are designed for practicality and security. For absolute protection of electronics or sensitive items, it is always recommended to use a dry bag or waterproof pouch inside the pockets.

Troubleshooting

Jacket doesn't seem waterproof anymore; water is soaking in.

This often indicates the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish needs rejuvenating. Wash the jacket using a technical cleaner and then apply a spray-on or wash-in DWR re-proofer according to the product's instructions.

Child feels cold despite wearing the jacket.

Ensure appropriate layering underneath the jacket. For very cold weather, a thermal base layer and a warm mid-layer (like a fleece) are recommended. Also, check that the jacket size allows for comfortable layering without being too loose or too tight.

Zipper gets stuck or is difficult to move.

Check if any fabric is caught in the zipper. Gently pull the fabric away. If it's still stiff, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (like zipper wax or a graphite pencil lead) to the teeth.

Jacket has an unusual odor after wearing/washing.

Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing. If an odor persists after proper drying, try washing it again with a specific technical cleaner designed to eliminate odors from synthetic fabrics.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent weather protection (waterproof and insulated) keeps kids dry and warm.
  • Enhanced safety features with reflective trims for improved visibility.
  • Practical storage solution with secure zipped pockets.
  • Durable construction designed to withstand active outdoor use.
  • Comfortable fit and protective hood for comprehensive elemental coverage.

Cons

  • Requires specific care to maintain waterproofing and insulation effectiveness.
  • Sizing needs careful consideration to ensure optimal warmth and layering capabilities.
  • Polyester material may not offer the same natural breathability as some alternative fabrics (though Isotex helps).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

The Regatta Hurdle Jacket requires no complex setup. Simply ensure the child wears appropriate layers underneath based on the weather conditions. For optimal warmth, avoid overly bulky underlayers that might compress the insulation.

Compatibility

  • Layering: This jacket functions best as an outer protective shell. Pair it with thermal base layers and mid-layers (like fleeces) for colder conditions. Its design allows for comfortable layering without restricting movement.
  • Activities: Suitable for a wide range of activities including school, playing outdoors, hiking, camping, and general everyday wear in wet or cold weather.

Care Instructions

Proper care is essential to maintain the jacket's waterproofing, breathability, and insulation.

  1. Check Labels: Always refer to the care label inside your specific jacket for precise instructions.
  2. Preparation: Before washing, close all zippers and fasten any Velcro straps. Turn the jacket inside out.
  3. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at a low temperature (typically 30°C or 40°C) with a technical outerwear cleaner, not conventional detergents. Standard detergents can strip the waterproof coating.
  4. Rinsing: Ensure thorough rinsing to remove all detergent residue.
  5. Drying: Hang to air dry. Avoid tumble drying unless the care label specifically permits it at a very low heat setting. High heat can damage the waterproof membrane and insulation.
  6. Reproofing: Over time, the durable water repellent (DWR) finish may wear off. If water starts to soak into the fabric rather than bead off, re-apply a DWR treatment specifically designed for waterproof breathable fabrics. Follow the product's instructions carefully.
