FAQs
Is this jacket warm enough for winter?
This is a shell jacket, designed primarily for waterproofing and wind resistance. It is lightweight and best worn over other layers for warmth in colder conditions. It does not provide significant insulation on its own.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash at 40°C with a mild detergent. Do not use fabric softener. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on low or air dry.
How does the packable feature work?
The jacket can be folded and stuffed into its own dedicated pocket, making it compact and easy to carry when not in use.
What does 'Isolite 15000' mean?
Isolite 15000 refers to Regatta's advanced, breathable, and waterproof fabric technology. The '15000' typically indicates the hydrostatic head rating, signifying its high level of water resistance.
How often should I re-apply the water repellent finish?
The need to re-apply depends on usage and care. If water no longer beads off the fabric, it's time to re-proof, typically after several washes or significant wear.
Can this jacket be worn by boys and girls?
Yes, the design is unisex and suitable for children of all genders within the specified age range.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer beading water effectively.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket and apply a technical re-proofer following product instructions.
Child feels damp inside the jacket.
Ensure the jacket is properly fastened at the cuffs and hem. If persistent, check if the garment has been washed with fabric softener, which can reduce breathability. Consider if the child is overheating due to excessive layering for the current temperature.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris. Dry thoroughly and apply a small amount of wax or silicone-based lubricant to the teeth.
