FAQs
What age group is this jacket suitable for?
This specific variant of the Regatta Lofthouse Insulated Jacket is designed for children aged 9-10 years. Other sizes are available for different age groups.
Is the jacket waterproof?
The jacket features a water-repellent finish, meaning it will repel light rain and splashes. It is not fully waterproof and is not designed for heavy downpours or prolonged exposure to severe wet weather.
How should I wash this jacket?
For best results, always refer to the care label inside the jacket. Generally, insulated polyester jackets should be machine washed on a gentle cycle with cold or lukewarm water and a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. > Info needed: [Specific washing instructions from the care label]
Does it have pockets for storage?
Yes, the jacket is equipped with zipped pockets to securely store small items like gloves, keys, or snacks.
Is this jacket suitable for both boys and girls?
Yes, the Regatta Lofthouse Insulated Jacket features a unisex design, making it suitable for all children.
What kind of insulation does the jacket use?
The jacket utilizes Warmloft insulation, which is a synthetic filling designed to provide warmth without excessive bulk.
Will the reflective trims last after washing?
Yes, the reflective trims are designed to be durable. However, following the care instructions on the label and avoiding harsh detergents or scrubbing will help maintain their integrity and effectiveness over time.
Troubleshooting
Jacket doesn't seem warm enough.
Ensure the child is wearing appropriate layers underneath. Warmloft insulation is effective, but extreme cold may require additional thermal layers. Check that the jacket is fully zipped and the hood is up if needed.
Water repellency seems to be diminishing.
The water-repellent finish can wear off over time with use and washing. After cleaning, consider applying a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) re-proofing spray or wash-in product designed for outdoor gear to restore performance. > Info needed: [Manufacturer's recommendation for DWR re-proofing products or services]
Zipper gets stuck or is difficult to operate.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the fabric away and try to move the slider. Avoid forcing the zipper. A small amount of zipper lubricant (like graphite from a pencil) can sometimes help.
Reflective trims appear dull or dirty.
Clean the reflective trims gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing too hard, as this can damage the reflective material.

Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your Regatta Lofthouse Insulated Jacket. While specific instructions are typically found on the garment's care label, here are general guidelines for polyester insulated jackets:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold or lukewarm water. Avoid hot water, which can damage insulation and water-repellent coatings.
> Info needed: [Specific temperature and detergent recommendations from manufacturer's care label]
- Detergent: Use a mild, non-biological detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can impair the water-repellent finish and insulation performance.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with dryer balls to help fluff up the insulation, or air dry flat away from direct heat and sunlight. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
> Info needed: [Specific drying instructions from manufacturer's care label]
- Ironing: Generally, insulated jackets should not be ironed. If necessary, consult the care label for very low-heat recommendations.
- Storage: Store in a dry, well-ventilated area. Do not compress for long periods, as this can reduce the loft of the insulation.
