FAQs

What does Isotex 10000 mean?

Isotex 10000 refers to the fabric's waterproof and breathable rating. It means the fabric can withstand 10,000mm of water pressure over 24 hours before water penetrates, and it allows 10,000 grams of water vapor to pass through per square meter in 24 hours, keeping you dry from both rain and internal moisture.

Is the jacket suitable for snow?

Yes, with its Isotex 10000 waterproof fabric and Thermoguard insulation, the jacket is well-suited for snowy conditions, providing both warmth and protection from melting snow.

Can I machine wash this jacket?

Yes, the jacket can be machine washed cold (30°C). Always use a mild, non-biological detergent and avoid fabric softeners to protect the waterproof properties.

Does it have an adjustable hood?

What is Thermoguard insulation?

Thermoguard is a synthetic insulation developed by Regatta. It consists of advanced fibers that trap air, providing warmth even when wet, and dries quickly, making it ideal for active outdoor use.

Are there any internal pockets?

What age range is 'kids' for this jacket?

This jacket is designed for children, available in sizes typically ranging from 4 years up to 9-10 years, accommodating various age groups within the 'kids' category.

Troubleshooting

Jacket doesn't seem as warm as expected.

Ensure the jacket is properly zipped up and the hood is used if needed. For very cold temperatures, consider adding an extra insulating layer underneath, such as a fleece.

Water is no longer beading off the fabric.

This indicates the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish might be wearing off. Wash the jacket following care instructions, then re-apply a suitable DWR treatment designed for waterproof outdoor apparel.

Jacket feels damp or clammy inside.

While the jacket is breathable, intense activity can still lead to internal moisture buildup. Ensure the child isn't overdressed. If the issue persists, check if the DWR needs reapplication, as a saturated outer fabric can reduce breathability.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Try lubricating the zipper teeth with a specialized zipper lubricant or a graphite pencil. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper path.

Reflective trims appear dirty or less effective.

Gently wipe the reflective trims with a damp cloth to remove dirt or mud. Avoid harsh scrubbing that could damage the reflective material.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior Weather Protection: Isotex 10000 ensures dryness in rain and snow.
  • Excellent Warmth: Thermoguard insulation provides reliable heat retention without excess weight.
  • Enhanced Safety: Reflective trims increase visibility, especially in dimmer conditions.
  • Practical Storage: Zipped pockets keep belongings secure during activities.
  • Designed for Active Kids: Durable and comfortable for movement and play.
  • Versatile Use: Suitable for various outdoor activities from hiking to playground fun.

Cons

  • Not for Extreme Cold: While insulated, might require additional layers for severe winter conditions.
  • Bulky for Packing: Insulation can make it slightly bulkier than a shell jacket, impacting packability.
  • Polyester Material: Requires specific care to maintain waterproofing and insulation properties.
  • Limited Adjustment Options: Info needed: [specific hood/cuff adjustments beyond standard elastic]
  • No Detachable Hood: Info needed: [confirm if hood is fixed or detachable for versatility]

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Using your Regatta Hurdle jacket is straightforward:

  1. Choose the Correct Size: Ensure the jacket fits comfortably over typical layers without restricting movement. Available sizes range from 4 to 9-10 years.
  2. Wear Appropriately: Zip up the main closure fully to maximize warmth and weather protection. Utilize the hood when facing wind or rain.

Compatibility

This jacket is designed for unisex use and is suitable for kids across a range of ages. It pairs well with other outdoor layers such as fleeces for added warmth in colder conditions, or a base layer for moisture-wicking comfort during high-energy activities. The Polyester construction is a common outdoor material, compatible with standard outdoor gear.

Care Instructions

Proper care will prolong the life and performance of your jacket:

  • Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C) with a mild, non-biological detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can impair the waterproof finish.
  • Drying: Line dry. Tumble drying is generally not recommended, but if necessary, use a low heat setting with a few tennis balls to fluff the insulation. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing.
  • Reproofing: Over time, the durable water repellent (DWR) finish may wear off. If water no longer beads on the fabric surface, consider reproofing with a suitable wash-in or spray-on DWR product designed for waterproof breathable garments.
  • Storage: Store in a dry, well-ventilated area, avoiding direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. Ensure the jacket is clean and dry before storing for extended periods.
