FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The jacket provides waterproof and windproof protection and can be layered with warm clothing for colder conditions. It is not insulated on its own.

What does 'Isotex 20000' mean?

Isotex 20000 refers to Regatta's technology that offers a specific level of waterproofing and breathability. The '20000' indicates a breathability rating of 20,000g/m²/24 hours and a hydrostatic head of 20,000mm for waterproofing.

Can the hood be removed?

No, the hood is a fixed, grown-on technical hood and cannot be removed.

What is the benefit of reflective trims?

The 360-degree reflective trims significantly increase visibility in low-light conditions, such as dusk, dawn, or foggy weather, enhancing safety for the child.

How do I find the correct size for my child?

Refer to the size guide provided by Regatta, which typically uses age ranges and chest measurements. This specific jacket is for sizes up to age 8 with a printed name label; larger sizes may not have this feature.

Is the jacket made from sustainable materials?

Yes, this jacket is made from 100% recycled polyester, contributing to a more sustainable approach to outdoor apparel.

How often should I reapply the DWR finish?

The DWR finish is reactivated by tumble drying after washing. For best performance, reapplication of a DWR spray or wash-in treatment is recommended every few washes or when water stops beading effectively.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer beading water effectively.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment according to the product instructions after washing and drying the jacket.

Child feels damp inside the jacket, despite being dry from rain.

Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and residue can impede breathability. Wash using a liquid detergent and consider tumble drying to reactivate the DWR and breathability features.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and mild soap, then dry thoroughly. Apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or a zipper lubricant) to the teeth.

  • Highly waterproof and breathable for all-day comfort.
  • Durable construction suitable for active kids.
  • Excellent visibility features for safety.
  • Environmentally conscious with recycled materials.
  • Practical design with multiple pockets and adjustable features.

Cons

  • Printed name label only available for sizes up to age 8.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This jacket requires no setup; it is ready to wear straight out of the packaging. It is compatible with standard children's outdoor clothing. To maintain its waterproof and breathable properties:

  1. Washing: Machine wash inside out with a cold, gentle cycle using a small amount of liquid detergent. Avoid powder detergents, bleach, and fabric softeners.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse twice to ensure all detergent is removed.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with an old towel for 20 minutes. This helps to reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish. If the DWR needs refreshing, use a waterproofing spray or wash-in product after cleaning, following the product's instructions.
  4. Ironing: Do not iron. Ensure the jacket is fully dry before storing.
