FAQs
Is the Regatta Embrie Quilted Jacket fully waterproof?
No, the jacket features a water-repellent finish, which means it will repel light rain and splashes. It is not designed to be fully waterproof for heavy downpours or prolonged exposure to severe wet conditions.
What is Warmloft insulation?
Warmloft is a synthetic insulation designed to provide lightweight warmth, similar to natural down, but often performing better in damp conditions. It helps to trap body heat effectively, keeping your child warm without adding excessive bulk.
How should I wash this jacket?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild, non-bio detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach. Air dry the jacket completely away from direct heat. Do not tumble dry or iron.
Can my child wear this jacket in winter?
The Embrie Quilted Jacket is suitable for cooler weather, such as autumn or mild winter days. For very cold winter conditions, it may need to be layered with additional thermal clothing underneath to provide sufficient warmth.
Are the reflective trims durable?
The reflective trims are designed to be durable for regular use and washing when care instructions are followed. Like any feature, excessive abrasion or harsh washing may reduce their effectiveness over a very long period.
What material is the jacket made from?
The jacket is made from Nylon, which is known for its durability and lightweight properties. It also contains Warmloft insulation for warmth.
Troubleshooting
Jacket isn't providing enough warmth.
Ensure the jacket is worn over appropriate layers. While Warmloft provides warmth, extreme cold may require additional thermal clothing underneath. Check that the cuffs and zipper are properly secured to prevent cold air entry.
Water repellency seems to be reduced; water is soaking in.
This is often a sign that the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish needs to be reactivated or reapplied. Wash the jacket following the care instructions (no fabric softener). If this doesn't restore repellency, consider using a DWR re-proofing spray or wash-in product designed for outdoor gear.
Zipper is stiff or stuck.
First, ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to pull the zipper. If it's still stiff, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (like a silicone spray or wax stick) to the teeth and gently work the zipper up and down.
Reflective trims appear dull or scratched.
Reflective trims can wear over time with repeated abrasion or improper washing. Ensure the jacket is washed gently and avoided rubbing against rough surfaces. While some wear is normal, significant dullness might indicate damage.

Care Instructions
Proper care is essential to maintain the jacket's performance, especially its water-repellent finish and insulation.
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent designed for technical outerwear or a non-bio detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can damage the water-repellent coating and insulation.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Hang the jacket to air dry in a well-ventilated area, away from direct heat. Ensure it is completely dry before storing.
- Ironing: Do not iron.
- Bleaching: Do not bleach.
- Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
- Re-proofing: Over time, the water-repellent finish may wear off. If water starts soaking into the fabric rather than beading off, you can re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment using a spray or wash-in product specifically designed for outdoor garments. Follow the product instructions carefully.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Ensure the jacket is clean and completely dry before storing for extended periods.
