FAQs
What does 'Isolite 15000' fabric mean?
Isolite 15000 is Regatta's advanced waterproof and breathable fabric technology. The '15000' typically refers to its hydrostatic head rating, indicating its ability to withstand a certain amount of water pressure before leaking.
How do I pack the jacket into its stuff sack?
Ensure the jacket is dry and reasonably flat. Starting from the bottom hem, tightly roll or fold the jacket upwards towards the hood. Once rolled or folded, stuff it firmly into the integrated stuff sack, usually found in a pocket or attached to the jacket.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
This jacket is designed primarily for waterproofing and breathability. While it can block wind, it is lightweight and does not have significant insulation. For very cold weather, it should be layered over insulating clothing like fleece.
Can I wash the jacket with regular laundry detergent?
It is best to use a mild, liquid detergent specifically designed for technical outdoor clothing. Harsh detergents or those with fabric softeners can damage the waterproof and breathable membranes.
What age group is the '2-3 Years' size for?
The '2-3 Years' size is intended for children approximately 2 to 3 years of age. It's always recommended to check the specific size chart provided by the retailer or brand for precise measurements.
How should I store the jacket when not in use?
Store the jacket clean and dry in a well-ventilated area. Avoid long-term storage in a compressed state (like its stuff sack) to help maintain the fabric's performance. Hanging it is ideal.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer fully waterproof
Ensure the jacket is clean and free from dirt or residue. Consider reapplying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish specifically designed for outdoor gear. Check that all seams are intact.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and mild soap. Lubricate with a silicone-based zipper lubricant or a graphite pencil. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Jacket feels clammy inside
This can indicate reduced breathability. Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the membrane. Make sure the internal layers the child is wearing are also breathable.
