FAQs
What does 'Isotex 20000' mean?
Isotex 20000 refers to Regatta's waterproof and breathable fabric technology. The '20000' indicates a hydrostatic head rating of 20,000mm, meaning the fabric can withstand a column of water 20,000mm high before leaking, and a breathability rating of 20,000 g/m²/24 hours, signifying good moisture vapour transmission.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The jacket is designed primarily for waterproofing and windproofing. While it has a lining, it is not heavily insulated. For very cold weather, layering with warm clothing underneath is recommended.
How do I know which size to choose?
Refer to the size guide provided by Regatta, which typically matches UK children's sizes to age ranges. The product information states this specific jacket is for ages 9-10 (UK size 9-10).
Can the hood be removed?
No, the hood is a 'grown-on' technical hood, meaning it is permanently attached to the jacket.
Are the reflective trims durable?
The reflective trims are designed to be durable for normal wear and tear. However, excessive abrasion or improper washing may affect their reflectivity over time.
What is the purpose of the elasticated shockcord hem?
The elasticated shockcord hem allows you to cinch the bottom of the jacket tighter, creating a snugger fit. This helps to prevent wind and rain from entering the jacket from the bottom.
Is the jacket suitable for primary school children?
Yes, the jacket is ideal for children, especially for use during the school day, commutes, and outdoor play, offering protection from the elements.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof or water is soaking into the fabric.
The durable water repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Wash the jacket according to care instructions, then tumble dry on a low heat setting. For enhanced protection, consider applying a specific DWR re-proofing spray after washing and drying.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris. You can then lubricate the zipper with a graphite pencil (by rubbing the lead along the teeth) or a silicone-based zipper lubricant.
Seams are leaking water.
Check if the taped seams are intact. If any part of the tape appears to be peeling or damaged, the waterproof integrity may be compromised. Contact customer support for potential repair or replacement options.
