FAQs
Is the Embrie Jacket suitable for heavy rain?
No, the Embrie Jacket features a water-repellent finish designed to protect against light rain and drizzles. For heavy downpours, a fully waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.
How warm is the Warmloft insulation?
Warmloft insulation provides lightweight warmth, making the jacket suitable for mild to cool conditions. It's ideal for active wear where heavy bulk is undesirable, or as a layering piece in colder weather.
Can I machine wash this jacket?
Yes, typically this jacket can be machine washed. Always refer to the specific care label inside the garment, but generally, machine wash cold on a gentle cycle and avoid fabric softeners.
What is the purpose of the reflective trims?
The reflective trims are a safety feature designed to enhance visibility in low-light conditions, such as dusk, dawn, or overcast weather, helping to make your child more noticeable to others.
What material is the jacket made from?
The Regatta Embrie Jacket is made from Nylon, known for its durability and resistance to water.
Is this jacket breathable?
While the Nylon material offers some breathability, this jacket is primarily designed for warmth and water repellency. For highly strenuous activities, consider layering with moisture-wicking base layers.
How do I choose the right size?
The jacket is sized for children aged 7-8 (UK size 7-8). It's best to check the Regatta size guide, if available, and measure your child to ensure the best fit.
Troubleshooting
The jacket no longer repels water effectively.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Wash the jacket according to care instructions and then re-apply a DWR treatment spray or wash-in product suitable for outdoor garments.
The zipper snags or is difficult to move.
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Try lubricating the zipper with a specialized zipper lubricant or a pencil graphite (rub gently on teeth). If bent, try to carefully straighten any misaligned teeth.
Jacket feels less warm over time.
Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt can compress insulation. If the insulation has become permanently flattened, gently fluff it by hand after washing and drying. Avoid excessive compression during storage.
Reflective trims appear dirty or less effective.
Gently clean the reflective trims with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners which can damage the reflective coating.

Care Instructions
Proper care will maintain the jacket's performance and extend its lifespan.
- Washing:
- Always check the care label inside the jacket for specific instructions.
- Typically, machine wash cold (30°C or less) on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent.
- Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can impair the water-repellent finish.
- Wash with similar colors.
- Drying:
- Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat.
- Over-drying or high heat can damage the fabric and water-repellent coating.
- Water Repellency:
- Over time, the water-repellent finish may diminish. If water no longer beads up on the surface, consider re-treating the jacket with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray or wash-in product specifically designed for outdoor apparel. Follow the product manufacturer's instructions.
- Storage:
- Store the jacket clean and dry in a cool, well-ventilated place.
- Avoid compressing it for long periods, which can affect the Warmloft insulation's loft.
