FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, the Regatta Lofthouse Insulated Jacket has a water-repellent finish, meaning it will shed light rain and drizzles. It is not designed to be fully waterproof for heavy downpours.
What is Warmloft insulation?
Warmloft is a synthetic insulation developed by Regatta. It's designed to be lightweight, soft, and highly compressible, providing excellent warmth even in damp conditions.
Can this jacket be used in winter?
This jacket is suitable for chilly autumn and mild winter days. For very cold or sub-zero winter conditions, it might need to be paired with additional warm layers underneath.
How do I choose the correct size for my child?
This specific jacket is for ages 7-8 years. Regatta typically provides a size guide with height and chest measurements on their website. It's best to measure your child and compare it to the brand's guide for the most accurate fit.
Are the reflective trims effective in the dark?
Yes, the reflective trims are designed to reflect light from sources like car headlights, enhancing your child's visibility in low-light conditions and improving safety.
Can I put this jacket in the dryer?
Yes, you can tumble dry on a low heat setting. For best results, use a few clean tennis balls to help fluff up the insulation and ensure even drying. Air drying flat is also an option.
What material is the jacket made from?
The Regatta Lofthouse Insulated Jacket is made from polyester, both for the outer fabric and the Warmloft insulation.
Troubleshooting
Jacket doesn't seem warm enough.
Ensure the jacket is worn over appropriate base layers. For very cold temperatures, this jacket may require additional layering underneath. Check that zippers are fully closed to trap warmth effectively.
Water repellency seems to be reduced.
The water-repellent finish can wear off over time or with repeated washing. Wash the jacket using a technical wash designed for outdoor gear, and then apply a spray-on or wash-in Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment to restore its performance.
Zipper is sticking or difficult to move.
Try lubricating the zipper teeth with a small amount of graphite from a pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper mechanism. If the zipper is bent or damaged, professional repair may be needed.
