FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for very cold winter weather?
The Regatta Lever Shell Jacket is lightweight and primarily designed for waterproof protection. While it can be layered with warm clothing underneath, it does not provide heavy insulation and may not be sufficient on its own for extreme cold.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water (30°C) using a mild liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Do not dry clean.
Can I put the jacket in the tumble dryer?
Yes, you can tumble dry the jacket on a low heat setting. This can also help reactivate the water-repellent finish.
What does 'Isolite 15000' mean?
Isolite 15000 refers to Regatta's technology for breathable and waterproof fabric. The '15000' typically indicates a hydrostatic head rating, meaning it can withstand 15,000mm of water pressure before leaking, signifying good waterproofness.
How does the packaway feature work?
The jacket can be folded down and stuffed into a specially designed pocket, usually located within the jacket itself. This makes it compact and easy to carry when not in use.
What is the durable water repellent (DWR) finish?
The DWR finish is a coating applied to the outer fabric that causes water to bead up and roll off, helping to keep the fabric dry and maintaining its breathability. This finish can wear off over time and may need to be reapplied.
Is this jacket suitable for both boys and girls?
Yes, the jacket is designed as a unisex garment, suitable for any child regardless of gender.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer shedding water effectively
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need to be reactivated or reapplied. Try tumble drying the jacket on a low heat for 20 minutes (if care label allows). If this doesn't help, consider using a commercial re-proofer following product instructions.
Child feels damp inside the jacket despite no visible leaks
This could be due to a lack of breathability. Ensure the jacket is not too tightly fitted and that underlayers are also breathable. Check that the jacket's vents (if any) are not obstructed. Heavy sweating can also lead to internal dampness.
Jacket seams appear to be leaking
Verify that the jacket has taped seams (indicated in features). If leaks persist at seams, it may indicate damage to the tape. Contact customer support if the jacket is still under warranty.
