Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this jacket insulated for cold weather?
The Regatta Hanleigh jacket is primarily designed for waterproof and windproof protection. It is not heavily insulated and is intended to be worn as an outer shell, allowing for layering underneath during colder conditions.
What does 'Isotex 15000' mean?
Isotex 15000 is Regatta's technical fabric rating, indicating a hydrostatic head of 15,000mm, which means it can withstand significant water pressure before leaking. It also signifies good breathability.
Can the hood be detached?
No, the hood on the Hanleigh jacket is 'grown-on,' meaning it is permanently attached to the jacket.
How do I know if I need to reapply the DWR treatment?
You'll notice that water no longer beads up and rolls off the fabric, but instead soaks into the outer material. If the fabric 'wets out' in damp conditions, it's time to reapply the DWR.
Are the reflective trims durable?
The reflective trims are designed to be durable for normal wear and washing according to the care instructions. Excessive abrasion or improper washing may affect their longevity.
What material is the lining made of?
The jacket features a 100% polyester mesh lining in the body and 100% polyester taffeta lining in the sleeves for comfort and ease of movement.
Troubleshooting
Jacket no longer repels water effectively
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and re-apply a DWR treatment specifically designed for outdoor wear.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move it back and forth. If still stiff, a small amount of graphite from a pencil rubbed on the teeth can help lubricate it.
Hood is not fitting securely
The grown-on hood is designed for a specific fit. Ensure the jacket is the correct size for the child. Check that the collar is fully zipped up, which helps position the hood correctly.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent waterproof and breathable performance for active kids.
- Durable construction with taped seams for long-lasting protection.
- Safety features like reflective trims are included for low-light conditions.
- Comfortable to wear due to stretch fabric and internal lining.
- Practical design with secure zipped pockets and a protective hood.
Cons
- Specific sizing (3-4 years) means it's not suitable for all ages without selecting a different variant.
- While waterproof, it may not be insulated for extreme cold without layering.
- The grown-on hood cannot be removed, which might be a preference for some users.
- Primarily made of polyester, which may not be as breathable as some natural fibers for very high-exertion activities.
