FAQs
What does 'Isotex 10000' mean?
`Isotex 10000` refers to Regatta's waterproof and breathable fabric technology. The '10000' typically indicates a hydrostatic head of 10,000mm, meaning it can withstand 10,000mm of water pressure before water penetrates, offering strong waterproof protection. It also signifies good breathability, allowing internal moisture to escape.
What is Warmloft insulation?
`Warmloft` is a synthetic insulation developed by Regatta. It's designed to be soft, lightweight, and highly compressible, providing excellent warmth-to-weight ratio. It retains insulating properties even when damp, making it suitable for various weather conditions.
Can I machine wash the jacket?
Yes, you can machine wash the jacket. Use a cold cycle (30°C) with a mild, non-biological detergent specifically formulated for waterproof clothing. Do not use fabric softeners or bleach, as these can damage the fabric's waterproof and breathable properties.
Is the jacket suitable for very cold winter conditions?
The `Warmloft` insulation provides good warmth, and the `Isotex 10000` fabric offers wind protection. For very cold winter conditions, it's recommended to layer effectively underneath the jacket with appropriate thermal base and mid-layers to maximize warmth.
How do I choose the correct size for my child?
The jacket is sized by age group (e.g., 3-4 Years). It's best to consult Regatta's official sizing chart, if available, and compare your child's measurements (chest, height) to ensure the best fit. A well-fitting jacket allows for comfortable movement and effective insulation.
Does the jacket come with a warranty?
Info needed: Please refer to the retailer or Regatta's official website for specific warranty information regarding your purchase.
Troubleshooting
Jacket appears to be losing its waterproof effectiveness.
This often means the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish needs re-activating or re-applying. Wash the jacket using a technical cleaner for waterproof fabrics and then apply a spray-on or wash-in DWR re-proofing product, following the product instructions. Avoid fabric softeners.
Child feels too warm or too cold while wearing the jacket.
Adjust the layering underneath the jacket. If too warm, reduce base layers. If too cold, add appropriate thermal layers. Ensure the adjustable waist and cuffs are snug to prevent heat loss, but not too tight to restrict circulation.
The hood feels uncomfortable or doesn't stay on.
Check if the hood's drawstrings or adjustment points (if any) are properly utilized for a snug fit. The sherpa lining should provide comfort, so ensure it's not bunched up. For very small children, ensure the hood isn't impeding vision.

Care Instructions
To maintain the performance and longevity of your Regatta Valenta Waterproof Jacket:
- Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C) with a mild, non-biological detergent specifically designed for waterproof clothing. Avoid fabric softeners as they can impair waterproofing and breathability.
- Drying: Air dry only. Do not tumble dry, iron, or dry clean. High heat can damage the waterproof membrane and insulation.
- Re-proofing: Over time, the durable water repellent (DWR) finish may wear off. If water no longer beads on the surface, consider using a DWR re-proofing product, following the manufacturer's instructions.
- Storage: Store in a dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
