FAQs

What type of weather is this jacket best suited for?

This jacket is ideal for rainy and windy conditions, providing waterproof and breathable protection. It is lightweight and can be layered for cooler temperatures but is not designed as a heavy-duty winter coat.

How do I ensure I select the correct size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart for children's jackets. Consider your child's current measurements and check if the jacket is intended for a snug fit or to be worn over other layers.

Can this jacket be worn by both boys and girls?

Yes, the jacket is designed as unisex, suitable for children of any gender.

Is the hood adjustable?

The jacket features a mesh-lined hood but does not specify adjustable features. It is designed to provide coverage and protection.

How durable is the printed design?

The printed design is intended to last with proper care. Avoiding high heat in the wash and dryer, and not ironing the garment, will help preserve the print.

What does 'Isolite 10000' mean?

Isolite 10000 refers to Regatta's specific technology for lightweight, waterproof, and breathable fabric. The '10000' typically relates to its hydrostatic head rating, indicating its water resistance level.

Are the zip pockets waterproof?

The jacket is waterproof, and the zip pockets provide a secure place for items. However, it is generally not recommended to store electronic devices or items that must remain absolutely dry in pockets during heavy, prolonged rain.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer waterproof.

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment suitable for outdoor fabrics after washing and drying the jacket according to care instructions.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a little water. Apply a graphite pencil (rubbing the lead on the teeth) or a specialized zipper lubricant to help it glide smoothly.

Mesh lining feels uncomfortable.

Ensure the jacket is the correct size. If the issue persists, the mesh lining might not be suitable for very sensitive skin. Consider wearing a long-sleeved base layer underneath.

Reflective details are peeling.

Avoid high heat during washing and drying. If peeling has started, cease tumble drying and air dry instead. Do not iron the jacket.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: While primarily designed as outerwear, this jacket can be layered over other clothing. It is compatible with a range of children's base layers and mid-layers for added warmth in cooler conditions.

Care Instructions: To maintain the jacket's performance and longevity:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 40°C.
