Full details
This guide is for parents and guardians looking to understand and effectively use the Regatta Lofthouse Insulated Jacket. Its key benefit is providing children with warmth, protection, and comfort in cold and damp conditions, making school commutes and outdoor play more enjoyable.

FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
No, the Regatta Lofthouse Insulated Jacket features a water-repellent finish. This means it will shed light rain and moisture, helping to keep your child dry in mild wet conditions, but it is not designed for heavy or prolonged downpours.
What type of insulation does the jacket use?
The jacket is insulated with Warmloft technology. This is designed to provide effective warmth and comfort without adding excessive bulk, making it easy for children to move freely.
Can I machine wash this jacket?
Yes, this jacket is typically machine washable. For best results and to preserve its features, always check the specific care label inside the garment for recommended washing temperatures and cycles, usually a cold, gentle wash.
Are the pockets secure for children's belongings?
Yes, the jacket is equipped with zipped pockets. This feature ensures that small items like keys, snacks, or gloves are kept secure and are less likely to fall out during play or movement.
Is the jacket suitable for very cold winter weather?
The Lofthouse Insulated Jacket provides good warmth for chilly conditions and mild winter days. For extremely cold temperatures or prolonged exposure to severe winter weather, it is recommended to use it as part of a layering system with additional base and mid-layers for optimal warmth.
What does '100% recycled polyester' mean for the jacket?
This means the jacket's material is made from recycled plastic bottles, which helps reduce waste and conserve resources. It's an eco-conscious choice that doesn't compromise on durability or performance.
Troubleshooting
Jacket seems less warm than before.
Ensure the jacket is clean and the insulation has not been excessively compressed. Proper washing and tumble drying with dryer balls can help re-loft the insulation. Avoid storing the jacket compressed for long periods.
Water repellency is no longer effective.
The durable water-repellent (DWR) finish can wear off over time. After cleaning, consider applying a DWR restoration product specifically designed for outerwear. Follow the product's instructions carefully.
Zipper is stiff or snagging.
Clean any dirt or debris from the zipper teeth. Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or rub a graphite pencil along the teeth to help the zipper slide more smoothly. Avoid forcing a stiff zipper.
Reflective trims appear less bright.
Gently clean the reflective trims with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and grime. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which can damage the reflective material.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your jacket. Always check the garment's care label for specific instructions, but general guidelines for polyester insulated jackets include:
- Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C) on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can impair the water-repellent finish.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with dryer balls to help redistribute and fluff the insulation, or air dry flat away from direct heat and sunlight. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storage to prevent mildew.
- Bleaching: Do not bleach.
- Ironing: Do not iron.
- Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
- Water Repellency: Over time, the water-repellent finish may wear off. You can restore it using a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray or wash-in product designed for outdoor apparel, following the product's instructions.
