FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
No, the Regatta Lofthouse Insulated Jacket features a water-repellent finish, meaning it will shed light rain and splashes. It is not designed to be fully waterproof for heavy or prolonged downpours.
How should I clean the jacket?
Generally, machine wash cold with similar colors. It's crucial to avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Always check the specific care label inside the garment for the most accurate instructions.
What kind of insulation does it use?
The jacket uses Warmloft insulation, which is a lightweight, synthetic material designed to provide excellent warmth and comfort, similar to natural down.
Are the reflective trims permanent?
The reflective trims are designed to be durable. Their effectiveness may reduce if they become heavily soiled or abraded. Regular cleaning helps maintain their visibility.
Can this jacket be worn for skiing or snowboarding?
The Regatta Lofthouse Insulated Jacket is designed for everyday warmth and protection in moderate cold and damp conditions. It is not specifically engineered for the extreme temperatures or demands of winter sports like skiing or snowboarding, which typically require specialized waterproof and breathable outerwear.
Is the hood removable?
No, the elasticated hood on this jacket is fixed and not designed to be removed.
What is the primary material of the jacket?
The jacket is made from Polyester, which is known for its durability, quick-drying properties, and resistance to shrinking and stretching.
Troubleshooting
Jacket seems less water-repellent than before.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish can wear off over time or with washing. Try washing the jacket according to care instructions, and if the issue persists, apply a wash-in or spray-on DWR restoration product.
Zipper feels stiff or gets stuck.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. If clear, gently rub a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant along the teeth to help it glide more smoothly.
Jacket doesn't seem warm enough in cold conditions.
Ensure the jacket is sized correctly; an overly large jacket can trap less warmth. For very cold weather, consider layering a fleece or thermal top underneath. The jacket is designed for moderate cold, not extreme arctic conditions.
Reflective trims appear dull or dirty.
Gently wipe the reflective trims with a damp cloth to remove dirt or grime. Regular washing according to care instructions should also help maintain their visibility.
Pockets are difficult to open/close.
Ensure zippers are aligned and not bent. Clear any debris from the zipper teeth. If a pocket liner is caught, carefully free it without forcing the zipper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting Started (Setup)
There is no complex setup required for the Regatta Lofthouse Insulated Jacket. Simply ensure the correct size for your child (this specific variant is 3-4 years). Have your child try it on to ensure a comfortable fit, allowing for a full range of motion. The front zipper should operate smoothly, and the elasticated hood should fit snugly around their head without obstructing vision.
Compatibility (Sizing)
This jacket is designed for kids in the 3-4 years age group. It features a unisex design, making it suitable for all children. Always refer to a brand's specific size chart if available, as age-based sizing can vary. Ensure there's enough room for comfortable movement and potential light layering underneath, but not so much that it loses its insulating effectiveness.
Care & Maintenance
Proper care will help maintain the jacket's performance and longevity:
- Washing: Machine wash cold with similar colors. Avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners, as these can compromise the water-repellent finish and insulation.
> Info needed: Refer to the garment's care label for specific washing and drying instructions and maximum temperature.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or, preferably, hang to air dry. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
- Bleaching: Do not bleach.
- Ironing: Do not iron, as high heat can damage the polyester fabric and insulation.
- Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
- Water Repellency: Over time, the water-repellent finish may diminish. You can restore it using a wash-in or spray-on DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment specifically designed for outdoor apparel.
- Storage: Store in a dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
