FAQs
What is ISOTEX 20000 fabric?
ISOTEX 20000 is a type of waterproof and breathable fabric that can withstand 20,000mm of water pressure and allows 20,000g/m²/24 hours of water vapor to pass through, ensuring comfort in wet conditions.
Can this jacket be worn in very cold weather?
The jacket is waterproof and windproof, providing a good outer layer. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer with insulating garments like fleece or down underneath.
What age range is the size 5-6 Years suitable for?
The size 5-6 Years is typically designed for children aged 5 to 6 years old. Please refer to the Regatta sizing chart for precise measurements.
How do I check if the waterproof treatment needs reapplying?
Waterproofness can be tested by sprinkling water on the fabric. If water beads up and rolls off, the treatment is working. If the fabric absorbs water or 'wets out', it's time to reapply the DWR finish.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The pockets are zipped for security, but the fabric itself is waterproof and taped. While designed to keep contents dry, submersion in water is not recommended.
Is there a built-in name label?
Yes, a printed name label is included inside the jacket for easy identification, available for sizes up to age 8.
Troubleshooting
Jacket no longer feels waterproof
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket thoroughly and reapply a suitable DWR treatment according to product instructions.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and mild soap. Lubricate with a silicone-based lubricant or a graphite pencil (rubbing the pencil lead on the teeth). Avoid forcing the zipper.
Jacket feels clammy inside
Ensure all seams are properly sealed and that the DWR finish is intact. Check that the garment is not inside out during use. For extreme conditions, consider wearing a moisture-wicking base layer underneath.
Reflective trims are peeling or damaged
Avoid abrasive cleaning or prolonged high-heat drying. If trims are significantly damaged, their reflective function will be compromised. Gentle care is key to longevity.
