FAQs
What does 'Isolite 5000' mean?
Isolite 5000 refers to Regatta's technology that provides a waterproof and breathable rating of 5000g/m²/24hrs. This means the fabric can withstand 5000mm of water pressure and allows 5000g of moisture vapor to pass through per square meter in 24 hours.
Is this suit fully waterproof or water-resistant?
The suit is fully waterproof due to the Isolite 5000 fabric and taped seams, meaning it's designed to withstand significant rainfall.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided, which usually correlates age and height (in cm) to the correct size. The suit is designed to be worn over other clothing, so a slightly looser fit is often appropriate for layering.
Can this rainsuit be machine washed?
Yes, it can be machine washed at 40°C with a mild liquid detergent. Avoid powder detergents, bleach, and fabric softeners.
What is the purpose of the taped seams?
Taped seams are essential for waterproofing. They cover the stitching lines on the inside of the garment to prevent water from seeping through the needle holes.
How often should I re-proof the suit?
It's recommended to re-proof the suit when you notice water is no longer beading on the surface or after several washes to maintain optimal performance.
Are the reflective trims safe for washing?
The reflective trims are designed to withstand washing according to the care instructions. However, avoid harsh scrubbing or high-heat drying which can damage them.
Troubleshooting
Rainsuit leaks water.
Ensure all seams are properly taped. If leaks persist, the fabric's water repellency may need to be restored using a re-proofing treatment. Check for any damage to the fabric.
Child feels clammy or overly warm.
While the suit is breathable, ensure the child is wearing appropriate layers underneath. Excessive underlayers can reduce breathability. Check that the suit is not too tight, allowing for air circulation.
Rainsuit is difficult to put on or take off.
Ensure you are selecting the correct size. The suit is designed to fit over clothing, so consider layering needs. Ensure zippers are fully functional and not snagged.
Reflective trim appears faded or damaged.
Avoid harsh detergents and high-heat drying, which can degrade the trim. Gently clean the trim with a damp cloth. If significantly damaged, the visibility may be compromised.
