FAQs
What is ISOLITE 15000?
ISOLITE 15000 is Regatta's own waterproof and breathable fabric technology. The '15000' indicates a hydrostatic head of 15,000mm, meaning it can withstand 15,000mm of water pressure before leaking, and a breathability rating that allows water vapor to escape.
Is this suit warm enough on its own?
The puddlesuit is designed primarily for waterproofing and breathability. While it has a lightweight polyester lining, it is not heavily insulated. For colder weather, layering with warm clothing underneath is recommended.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Choose the size that corresponds to your child's age/height. The elasticated waist and cuffs provide some flexibility, but a proper fit ensures maximum comfort and effectiveness of the waterproofing.
Can I wash this in a washing machine?
Yes, the puddlesuit is fully machine washable. Always refer to the care label on the garment for specific washing instructions, including recommended detergent and temperature.
What is the advantage of taped seams?
Taped seams are strips of waterproof tape applied over the stitched seams. This prevents water from seeping through the needle holes made during stitching, ensuring the entire garment is waterproof.
How often should I re-proof the suit?
Re-proofing is generally recommended when you notice water is no longer beading on the surface and the fabric seems to be 'wetting out'. This depends on the frequency of use and washing, but typically once or twice a season is sufficient if needed.
What age group is this suit for?
This suit is designed for 'kids' and comes in various sizes suitable for young children, from toddler sizes up to roughly 5-6 years old, depending on the specific size purchased.
Troubleshooting
Water is leaking through seams
Ensure all seams are properly sealed. If leakage persists, the waterproof coating may be compromised. Consider using a fabric re-proofer suitable for waterproof clothing.
Suit feels damp inside
Check that the garment is not too tight, which can restrict breathability. Ensure the fabric is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the pores. Wash according to care instructions.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a specialized zipper lubricant.
Elasticated cuffs/waist have lost their elasticity
This is typically due to prolonged stretching or improper washing. Ensure the garment is not stored under tension and follow washing instructions, avoiding high heat drying which can degrade elastic.
