FAQs
What age range is the '3-4 Years' size suitable for?
The '3-4 Years' size is designed to fit children typically aged between 3 and 4 years old. It's always recommended to check the specific size chart provided by Regatta for detailed measurements to ensure the best fit.
Is this jacket waterproof or water-repellent?
The jacket features a water-repellent finish, which means it can shed light rain and moisture. It is not fully waterproof and may not provide adequate protection in heavy or prolonged rainfall.
Can this jacket be worn in very cold weather?
This is a lightweight hybrid jacket, best suited for mild to cool conditions. For very cold weather, it should be worn as part of a layering system, with warmer insulating layers underneath.
How should I clean the jacket to maintain its water repellency?
Machine wash at 40°C on a gentle cycle, do not bleach, and tumble dry on low or hang dry. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can reduce the effectiveness of the water-repellent treatment. Consider re-applying a DWR treatment if needed.
Are the reflective trims durable?
The reflective trims are designed to enhance visibility and are generally durable under normal wear and care conditions. Following the washing instructions will help maintain their reflectivity.
Does the jacket have a hood?
Yes, the jacket features a hood with stretch binding to help keep it in place and protect against the elements.
What material is the jacket made from?
The body of the jacket is made from 100% lightweight polyamide fabric with a durable water-repellent finish. The sleeves and hood are made from 100% polyester fabric.
Troubleshooting
Water-repellent finish seems less effective.
The durable water-repellent (DWR) finish may need refreshing. Wash the jacket according to care instructions and then either tumble dry on a low heat setting or iron on a low heat setting. For a more thorough refresh, consider using a DWR re-proofing spray designed for outdoor clothing.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to close.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and mild soap. Ensure there are no fabric snags. Lubricate the zipper with a bit of graphite from a pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant.
Jacket feels too thin for cold weather.
This jacket is designed as a lightweight, flexible layer. For colder conditions, wear it over warmer mid-layers such as a fleece or insulated top.
