FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
The jacket features a water-repellent finish, which means it will shed light rain and splashes. It is not fully waterproof and is not designed for heavy downpours or prolonged exposure to wet conditions.
What is Warmloft insulation?
Warmloft is a synthetic insulation designed to provide excellent warmth without bulk. It traps air to keep the wearer warm, even when damp, making it a good choice for active outdoor wear.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash cold (30°C / 86°F) on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Do not use fabric softeners or bleach. Tumble dry on low or hang dry completely.
Are the reflective trims permanent?
Yes, the reflective trims are integrated into the jacket's design and are durable. However, their effectiveness can be reduced if they become dirty, so regular cleaning is recommended.
What age group is this jacket for?
This specific variant of the Regatta Lofthouse Insulated Jacket is designed for children aged 9-10 years. Other sizes may be available for different age groups.
Can this jacket be used for skiing or extreme cold?
While warm, this jacket is primarily designed for everyday chilly and damp conditions. For skiing or extreme cold, additional specialized layers and more heavy-duty outerwear would typically be recommended.
Troubleshooting
Jacket doesn't seem warm enough.
Check if the jacket is adequately zipped up and the hood is on. In very cold conditions, layering a fleece or thermal top underneath will significantly increase warmth.
Water is soaking into the fabric, not beading off.
The water-repellent finish may be losing its effectiveness. Wash the jacket according to care instructions and consider applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) re-treatment product.
Zipper gets stuck or snags.
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. A small amount of zipper lubricant or graphite pencil lead can help it glide more smoothly.
Jacket has an unpleasant odor.
Wash the jacket according to the care instructions. Ensure it is completely dry before storage. If odor persists, consider airing it out thoroughly or using a sports wash detergent.
Fit feels too tight or too loose.
Refer to the product's sizing chart. Children grow quickly, so ensuring the correct size is important for comfort and warmth. This particular jacket is sized for 9-10 years.

Care Instructions
Proper care will help maintain the jacket's insulation, water repellency, and overall longevity. Always check the garment's inner label for the most accurate care instructions.
- Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C / 86°F) on a gentle cycle. Use a mild, non-biological detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners as they can impair the water-repellent finish and insulation properties.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting, or hang dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
- Bleaching & Ironing: Do not bleach. Do not iron, as high heat can damage the synthetic material and insulation.
- Water Repellency Maintenance: Over time and with washing, the jacket's water-repellent finish may diminish. To restore it, you can use a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) specific wash-in or spray-on treatment, following the product's instructions. Info needed: Specific DWR re-treatment recommendations from Regatta if available.
