Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Carlotte Lightweight Quilted Jacket is designed for adult women seeking comfortable and lightweight outerwear for everyday use. Its key benefit is providing warmth without bulk, making it ideal for casual outings like school runs or walks. A potential caveat is its focus on water repellency rather than full waterproofing, so it's best suited for light rain or drizzle. Key features include down-touch synthetic insulation, a water-repellent finish, and practical zipped pockets.

FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The jacket has a water-repellent finish, which means it can repel light rain or drizzle. It is not fully waterproof and may not provide adequate protection in heavy downpours.
What type of insulation does it use?
It uses Warmloft synthetic insulation, which is designed to provide lightweight warmth similar to down but with the benefits of synthetic materials.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
This jacket is ideal for mild to cool weather. For very cold conditions, it is best used as a mid-layer combined with other insulating garments.
How should I clean the jacket?
The jacket is machine washable. It is recommended to wash at 30°C with a mild detergent and tumble dry on a low heat setting. Always refer to the care label for specific instructions.
What are the pocket features?
It includes two lower pockets with zippers for secure storage and one internal security pocket for small valuables.
What material is the jacket made from?
The main fabric is lightweight 20d polyamide (nylon).
Troubleshooting
Jacket loses water repellency
Ensure the jacket is clean. Tumble drying on a low heat setting after washing can help reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish. Consider reapplying a DWR treatment if performance does not improve.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to move
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a small amount of mild soap and water. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Lubricate with a graphite pencil or wax if needed.
Insulation feels flat or less warm
After washing, tumble dry on a low heat setting with a few clean tennis balls or dryer balls. This helps to redistribute and loft the synthetic insulation evenly.
