Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Lofthouse Insulated Jacket is designed for active kids, offering a perfect blend of warmth and protection for chilly school mornings and outdoor adventures. Its key benefit lies in keeping children cosy and comfortable with Warmloft insulation and a water-repellent finish. While highly effective for everyday cold and light moisture, it is important to note that its water repellency provides protection against splashes and light rain, rather than being fully waterproof for heavy downpours.

FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
No, the Regatta Lofthouse Insulated Jacket features a `water-repellent finish`, which means it will shed light rain and splashes. It is not designed to be fully waterproof for heavy or prolonged downpours.
What is Warmloft insulation?
`Warmloft` is a synthetic insulation developed by Regatta. It's designed to mimic the warmth and compressibility of natural down while retaining its insulating properties even when damp, providing lightweight warmth without bulk.
How should I wash this jacket?
For best results, machine wash cold on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent specifically designed for technical outerwear, if possible. Avoid fabric softeners and ensure it is thoroughly dried, preferably tumble dried on low with dryer balls to restore loft. Always check the jacket's internal label for specific instructions.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold winter conditions?
The Regatta Lofthouse Insulated Jacket is ideal for `chilly school mornings` and moderate cold conditions. For very harsh or extreme winter weather, it's recommended to layer it with additional warm clothing underneath, or opt for a jacket specifically rated for extreme cold.
Does it have pockets?
Yes, the jacket features `zipped pockets`, which are great for securely storing small items or keeping hands warm.
What is the material of the jacket?
The jacket is made from `Polyester`, which is known for its durability, quick-drying properties, and ease of care.
Are there other colors or sizes available?
Yes, the Regatta Lofthouse Insulated Jacket is available in various `colour_family` options such as `Red`, `Blue`, and `Green`, and comes in different `size_children_uk` options, including `3-4 Years`, `5-6 Years`, `9-10`, and `10-11 Years`.
Troubleshooting
Jacket doesn't seem warm enough.
Ensure the jacket is properly zipped and the hood is up if needed. For very cold days, consider adding an extra base layer or fleece underneath the jacket. Check that the insulation is not compressed or matted from improper washing or storage.
Water repellency seems to have decreased.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish can wear off over time. Wash the jacket according to care instructions, and if the issue persists, re-apply a DWR treatment designed for outerwear. This is often available as a spray or wash-in product.
Zipper is sticking or hard to operate.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Clean the zipper teeth with a small brush to remove dirt or debris. A small amount of zipper lubricant (like a graphite pencil or a dedicated zipper wax) can help it run smoothly.
Reflective trims appear dirty or less effective.
Gently clean the reflective trims with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the reflective material.
Unusual odor after washing.
This often occurs if the jacket wasn't completely dry before storage. Re-wash the jacket with a proper outerwear cleaner and ensure it is thoroughly dried, potentially using dryer balls to help circulate air and fluff the insulation.

Care Instructions
Proper care will maintain the jacket's insulation properties and water repellency. Follow these general guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can impair the water-repellent finish.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat with tennis balls or dryer balls to help fluff up the insulation. Ensure the jacket is completely dry to prevent mildew and maintain loft. Alternatively, lay flat to air dry away from direct heat.
- Water Repellency: Over time, the water-repellent finish may diminish. You can restore it using a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray or wash-in treatment designed for outerwear. Ensure the jacket is clean before application.
- Storage: Store in a dry, well-ventilated area. Avoid compressing for long periods to maintain the insulation's loft.
