Product Information
Full details
This Regatta Lever jacket is designed for children who need reliable protection from rain during school days and outdoor adventures. Its key benefit is offering waterproof, breathable, and packable performance in a lightweight design. A potential consideration is that the material, while waterproof, may not offer significant insulation for very cold conditions.

FAQs
What is the main purpose of the Regatta Lever jacket?
The primary purpose of the Regatta Lever jacket is to provide lightweight, waterproof, and breathable protection from the elements for children during everyday activities and outdoor adventures.
Is this jacket warm enough for winter?
This jacket is designed for water protection rather than heavy insulation. It is lightweight and best suited for mild to wet conditions. For colder weather, layering with a warm mid-layer like a fleece is recommended.
How do I clean the jacket?
The jacket can be machine washed at 30°C with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and ironing. Tumble dry on low or hang to dry.
What does 'Isolite 15000' mean?
Isolite 15000 refers to Regatta's technology for waterproof and breathable fabric. The '15000' typically indicates a hydrostatic head rating of 15,000mm, meaning it can withstand 15,000mm of water pressure before leaking, and a breathability rating of 15,000 g/m²/24 hours.
Can the hood be removed?
No, the hood is integrated into the jacket design and cannot be removed. It features a mesh lining for comfort and ventilation.
How does the packaway feature work?
The jacket can be folded and stuffed into its own left-hand pocket, transforming it into a compact pouch for easy storage and transport.
Are there any special care instructions for maintaining waterproofing?
Yes, it is important to avoid fabric softeners, as they can degrade the waterproof and breathable properties of the fabric. Re-waterproofing sprays can be used periodically to maintain performance.
What age range is the name tag suitable for?
The internal name tag is designed for children up to 8 years old.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer fully waterproof.
Ensure the taped seams are intact. If the water-repellent finish has worn off, a re-proofer spray suitable for technical outdoor gear may help restore performance. Follow product instructions carefully.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to close.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and a mild soap solution. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Apply a small amount of wax or a specific zipper lubricant if necessary.
Jacket feels damp inside despite no rain.
This might be due to perspiration. Ensure the jacket is not too tightly layered underneath and that it is properly aired out after use. Check for any blockages in the ventilation areas, though this model primarily relies on fabric breathability.
Packaway pocket is difficult to fold into.
Ensure the jacket is folded as flatly as possible before attempting to stuff it into the pocket. The fabric may become more pliable after a few uses.
