FAQs
What is Isotex 20000 fabric?
Isotex 20000 is a waterproof, breathable and windproof fabric technology used by Regatta. The '20000' refers to its high waterproof rating, measured in mm, and breathability rating in g/m²/24 hours, indicating it performs well in challenging weather conditions.
How do I know if the size 9-10 Years will fit my child?
It is recommended to consult the Regatta size chart for children's jackets and measure your child's chest and height to compare with the jacket's specifications. This jacket is designed for children aged 9-10 years.
Can this jacket be worn in very cold weather?
This jacket is primarily designed for waterproofing and windproofing. For very cold weather, it is best worn as an outer layer over warm, insulating mid-layers such as fleece or a warm jumper.
Are the reflective trims durable?
The reflective trims are designed to withstand normal wear and tear and regular washing according to care instructions. Prolonged abrasive contact or improper washing may affect their reflectivity over time.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash at 40°C with similar colours, and tumble dry on a low heat setting. Ensure all zippers are closed before washing. Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean.
What does 'taped seams' mean?
Taped seams means that the stitching lines where the fabric pieces are joined are covered with a waterproof tape. This prevents water from seeping through the needle holes, ensuring the jacket remains fully waterproof.
Is the jacket suitable for sports activities?
Yes, the waterproof and breathable nature of the fabric makes it suitable for various outdoor activities and sports where protection from the elements is needed.
Troubleshooting
Jacket seems less waterproof over time
Ensure the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish is maintained. You may need to reapply a DWR treatment after several washes, following the product's instructions.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it catches on fabric, carefully pull the fabric away. You can use a graphite pencil to rub on the zipper teeth for smoother operation.
Hood is not staying up securely
Check if the elastication on the hood and collar is properly positioned. Ensure the jacket is zipped up fully to help secure the hood.
