FAQs
Is the Regatta Embrie Jacket fully waterproof?
No, the jacket features a water-repellent finish, which means it will protect against light rain and splashes. It is not designed to be fully waterproof for prolonged exposure to heavy downpours.
What kind of weather is this jacket best suited for?
This jacket is best suited for cooler, mild to moderate weather conditions. Its Warmloft insulation provides warmth, while the water-repellent finish offers protection against light rain and wind, making it ideal for autumn, spring, and mild winter days.
How do I ensure my child is visible in low light?
The jacket includes reflective trims designed to enhance visibility in low-light conditions. For maximum safety during early mornings or evenings, ensure these trims are clean and visible, and consider adding other reflective accessories if needed.
Can I layer clothing under this jacket?
Yes, the lightweight design of the Embrie Jacket makes it suitable for layering. You can comfortably wear a t-shirt, long-sleeved top, or a thin fleece underneath for added warmth without feeling bulky.
Are the pockets secure for holding items?
Yes, the jacket is equipped with zipped pockets. This feature ensures that small items your child carries, such as gloves, small toys, or snacks, are securely stored and less likely to fall out during active play.
What is Warmloft insulation?
Warmloft is a synthetic insulation developed by Regatta. It's designed to be lightweight, soft, and effectively trap body heat, providing warmth even when damp. It's also easy to care for and quick-drying.
Is this jacket suitable for both boys and girls?
Yes, the Regatta Embrie Jacket features a unisex design, making it suitable for both boys and girls aged 5-6 years.
Troubleshooting
Jacket seems less water-repellent than before.
The water-repellent finish can wear off over time or with washing. Try washing the jacket according to care instructions (if available) and then applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) reproofing spray or wash-in treatment specifically designed for outdoor garments. Ensure the jacket is clean and dry before application.
Zippers are stiff or sticking.
First, ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. If the zipper is still stiff, clean it with a small brush to remove any dirt or debris. You can then lubricate the zipper teeth with a zipper lubricant, graphite from a pencil, or a small amount of beeswax to improve smooth operation.
Jacket feels less warm or insulation seems clumpy.
This can happen if the insulation has settled or clumped after washing. To re-fluff, tumble dry the jacket on a low heat setting with a few clean tennis balls or dryer balls. This helps to break up clumps and redistribute the insulation evenly, restoring its loft and warmth.

Care
Proper care will extend the life and performance of your jacket, particularly its water-repellent finish. While specific instructions were not provided, general care for nylon outerwear with synthetic insulation often includes:
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Close all zippers before washing.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can impair the water-repellent finish and insulation performance.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang to air dry. Avoid high heat as it can damage the fabric and insulation. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing.
- Reproofing: Over time, the water-repellent finish may diminish. You can restore it using a suitable water-repellent spray or wash-in treatment designed for outerwear. Follow the product instructions for application.
> Info needed: Always check the garment's internal care label for precise washing and drying instructions specific to your jacket.
