FAQs
Is the Regatta Lofthouse Jacket waterproof?
No, the jacket features a water-repellent finish, which means it will protect against light rain and moisture. It is not designed to be fully waterproof for heavy downpours or prolonged exposure to severe wet weather.
What is Warmloft insulation?
Warmloft is a type of synthetic insulation designed by Regatta to provide excellent warmth without excessive bulk. It traps air to keep the wearer warm, similar to down, but performs better in damp conditions.
How should I wash the Lofthouse Jacket?
Info needed: [Specific washing instructions from the care label. General advice for polyester water-repellent jackets includes machine washing cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent, avoiding bleach and fabric softeners. Air drying is often recommended.]
What age group is this jacket suitable for?
The Regatta Lofthouse Jacket is designed for kids and is available in various children's UK sizes, such as 3-4 years, 7-8 years, 9-10 years, and 10-11 years, making it suitable for a wide range of younger ages.
Are the pockets secure for storing items?
Yes, the jacket features zipped pockets, which are ideal for securely storing small items like keys, snacks, or gloves, ensuring they don't fall out during active play.
Does this jacket come in other colors or sizes?
Yes, the Regatta Lofthouse Insulated Jacket is available in a variety of other colors, such as Dark Pimento (Red), Blue, and Black Seal Grey, and different children's UK sizes beyond the 3-4 years.
Is the hood adjustable?
The hood features an elasticated design, providing a snug and comfortable fit that helps keep it in place without needing manual adjustment.
Troubleshooting
Jacket doesn't seem warm enough.
Ensure the child is wearing appropriate base layers underneath for the temperature. The Lofthouse Jacket provides good insulation for chilly weather, but in very cold conditions, additional layers are recommended. Check that the jacket is correctly zipped up and the hood is used when needed.
Water-repellency is not as effective as expected.
The jacket has a water-repellent finish, not a fully waterproof membrane. It's designed for light rain and moisture. If the repellency has decreased over time, it may need to be cleaned and re-treated with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray specifically designed for outdoor clothing. Dirt and oils can degrade the DWR coating.
Zipper feels stiff or gets stuck.
Ensure the zipper path is clear of fabric or debris. Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (e.g., zipper wax or silicone spray) to the teeth to help it move smoothly. Always zip and unzip gently to avoid damage.
Reflective trims appear dull or less visible.
The reflective trims can become obscured by dirt or mud. Gently clean the reflective areas with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure they are dry before storage to maintain their reflective properties.
Jacket develops an odor.
Ensure the jacket is fully dry before storing. If an odor persists, wash the jacket according to care instructions (once specific instructions are available) using a gentle cycle and appropriate detergent. Avoid leaving damp clothing in enclosed spaces.
