FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The Regatta Calderdale III is a waterproof and breathable shell jacket. While it provides protection from rain and wind, it does not offer significant insulation. For very cold weather, we recommend layering it over warm fleeces or thermal mid-layers to provide adequate warmth.

What does 'Isotex 10000' mean?

Isotex 10000 is Regatta's proprietary waterproof and breathable fabric technology. '10000' refers to its hydrostatic head rating, meaning it can withstand 10,000mm of water pressure before water penetrates, indicating a high level of waterproofing. It also signifies a good level of breathability.

Can my child wear this jacket for school?

Yes, this jacket is perfectly suitable for school. Its waterproof and breathable features make it ideal for commuting in wet weather, protecting school uniforms, and staying comfortable during outdoor playtimes.

How do I choose the correct size for my child?

We recommend referring to Regatta's official size guide, typically found on the product page or brand website, which provides measurements corresponding to age groups. If between sizes, consider sizing up slightly to allow for layering and growth.

Will this jacket protect against wind?

Yes, as a waterproof jacket, the Regatta Calderdale III also acts as an effective wind barrier. Its dense polyester weave and taped seams help block out wind, contributing to your child's comfort in blustery conditions.

Can I use a regular detergent to wash the jacket?

It's best to avoid regular detergents and especially fabric softeners, as they can strip the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish and clog the pores of the breathable membrane, reducing performance. Use a technical wash specifically designed for waterproof outdoor gear.

Troubleshooting

Waterproofing seems to be failing; fabric is wetting out

The jacket's Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need re-activating or re-applying. First, wash the jacket according to care instructions. If water still doesn't bead up, apply a DWR re-proofing spray or wash-in treatment specifically designed for waterproof breathable fabrics.

Jacket feels clammy inside despite being breathable

Ensure your child is wearing appropriate layers underneath. Cotton can absorb moisture and make you feel cold and damp. Opt for synthetic or wool base layers that wick moisture away from the skin. Also, check that the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can block breathability.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to operate

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and warm, soapy water to remove any dirt or grit. Once dry, apply a specialized zipper lubricant or a small amount of beeswax to the teeth to improve glide. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Compatibility

  • Activities: Ideal for hiking, walking, camping, school, and general outdoor play in wet or damp conditions.

Care Instructions

Proper care extends the life and maintains the performance of your waterproof jacket.

  1. Washing:
  • Close all zippers and fasteners before washing.
  • Machine wash cold (30°C) on a gentle cycle.
  • Use a technical wash designed for waterproof fabrics, or a small amount of liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, and harsh detergents as they can degrade the waterproofing.
  • Wash separately or with similar items.
  1. Drying:
  • Do not tumble dry.
  • Hang to drip dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
  1. Ironing:
  • Do not iron.
  1. Re-proofing:
  • Over time, the durable water repellent (DWR) finish may wear off, causing the fabric to 'wet out' (absorb water rather than bead it).
  • If this happens, clean the jacket and then apply a spray-on or wash-in DWR re-proofing treatment suitable for breathable waterproof fabrics, following the product's instructions.
  1. Storage:
  • Store the jacket clean and dry, in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight.
