FAQs
Is the jacket fully waterproof?
The jacket features a water-repellent finish, which is suitable for light rain, but it is not classified as fully waterproof for heavy downpours.
Can the hood be detached?
No, the jacket features a 'grown-on' hood, meaning it is permanently attached to the collar for better protection and heat retention.
What temperature is this jacket suitable for?
It is designed for cool, transitional weather, typically serving well in autumn and mild winter climates.
How do I ensure the reflective strips stay effective?
Avoid using harsh chemicals or bleach when washing, as these can degrade the reflective materials over time.
Does the jacket run true to size?
Regatta sizes generally follow standard UK children's sizing; for layering underneath, you may consider sizing up.
What material is the jacket made from?
The jacket is constructed from durable polyester, which is chosen for its strength and ability to hold heat.
Troubleshooting
Water soaking through the outer fabric
The water-repellent treatment may have worn off; apply a garment-safe re-proofing spray and let it air dry.
Padding feels lumpy after washing
Ensure the jacket is completely dry, then gently shake or fluff the garment to redistribute the synthetic insulation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket is designed for easy care. To maintain the effectiveness of the water-repellent finish and the loft of the padding, machine wash the garment on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent. Avoid using heavy fabric softeners as they can strip away the water-repellent treatment. It is recommended to hang the jacket to air dry; if the padding settles after washing, a quick shake or tumble dry on a low, cool setting can help restore its volume. Ensure all zippers are closed before washing to prevent snagging.
