Full details

The Regatta Calderdale III Waterproof Jacket is an ideal choice for active children who need reliable weather protection during outdoor activities. Built with technical Isotex 10000 fabric, it provides a superior balance of waterproof performance and breathability; however, parents should note that it is primarily designed as a shell layer, so additional insulation may be required during extreme cold weather conditions.

FAQs

Is the Regatta Calderdale III machine washable?

Yes, it can be machine washed, but it is recommended to use a gentle cycle and a technical cleaner rather than harsh detergents.

Does this jacket include a hood?

Yes, the Calderdale III features a built-in hood to provide extra protection against rain and wind.

Is this jacket warm enough for winter?

It is a waterproof shell. While it protects from wind and rain, it is not heavily insulated, so layering with a fleece or jumper is advised for colder temperatures.

What does the 10000 in Isotex 10000 mean?

It refers to the hydrostatic head rating, meaning the fabric can withstand water pressure equivalent to a 10,000mm water column before leaking.

Is the sizing gender-specific?

The jacket is designed as a unisex fit, suitable for all children.

Troubleshooting

Water soaking through the fabric surface

The DWR finish has likely worn off. Re-apply a specialist waterproofing treatment to restore the beading effect.

Feeling damp inside the jacket despite no leaks

This is often caused by humidity buildup. Ensure the child is not wearing too many heavy cotton layers, which trap sweat, and opt for moisture-wicking synthetic base layers instead.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High waterproof rating (Isotex 10000)
  • Excellent breathability for active play

  • Limited to specific size ranges

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of the jacket, follow these maintenance guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a cool setting using a technical cleaner rather than standard detergents to protect the membrane.
  2. Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent fabric damage.
  3. Re-proofing: Periodically apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray to the exterior if you notice water no longer beads on the surface.
  4. Storage: Hang the jacket in a well-ventilated area when not in use, rather than leaving it crumpled in a bag, to maintain the integrity of the seams.
