FAQs
Is the Regatta Junior Embrie Jacket fully waterproof?
No, the jacket features a water-repellent finish, which means it provides protection against light rain and splashes, but it is not designed to be fully waterproof for heavy, sustained downpours.
What kind of insulation does this jacket use?
The jacket uses Warmloft insulation, which is a soft-touch synthetic down material engineered to offer excellent warmth without adding significant bulk, keeping your child comfortable and agile.
What age group is this jacket suitable for?
This specific variant of the Regatta Junior Embrie Jacket is sized for children aged 7-8 years (UK sizing).
How should I clean the jacket?
Generally, machine wash gently at a low temperature with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. For best results and to maintain water repellency, always check the care label inside the jacket for specific instructions.
Are the pockets secure?
Yes, the jacket is equipped with zipped pockets, providing secure storage for your child's small belongings, preventing items from falling out during activity.
What material is the jacket made of?
The outer shell of the Embrie Jacket is made from durable Nylon.
Does the jacket have any safety features for low light?
Yes, it includes reflective trims that enhance your child's visibility in low-light conditions, contributing to their safety.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems to be reduced.
The water-repellent finish can wear off over time or with repeated washes. Wash the jacket using a technical wash designed for outdoor gear, and then consider applying a spray-on or wash-in DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment to restore its performance.
Zipper is stiff or stuck.
Check if any fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. If not, try rubbing a small amount of zipper lubricant, a graphite pencil, or even a bar of soap along the zipper teeth to help it glide more smoothly. Work it gently up and down.
Jacket retains an odor after washing.
Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storage. If an odor persists, re-wash the jacket with a sports-specific detergent designed to neutralize odors and ensure it is thoroughly air-dried, ideally outdoors if weather permits.

Care
Proper care will help maintain the jacket's performance and longevity:

- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or, preferably, air dry away from direct heat. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
- Bleaching & Ironing: Do not bleach. Avoid ironing, especially over reflective trims or printed areas, as high heat can damage the material and finishes.
- Re-proofing: Over time, the water-repellent finish may diminish. You can restore it by using a wash-in or spray-on DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment specifically designed for outdoor garments.
