Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Lofthouse Padded Jacket is a versatile, insulated outerwear piece designed for children aged 5-6 who need reliable warmth during everyday school wear and active outdoor play. Its primary benefit is a combination of lightweight insulating padding and a durable water-repellent finish that keeps kids comfortable in cool, damp conditions. Please note that while the jacket is water-repellent, it is not fully waterproof and may not withstand prolonged exposure to heavy, sustained downpours.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
No, it is water-repellent. It will protect against light showers but will eventually soak through in heavy or prolonged rain.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle. Avoid fabric softeners and bleaching agents to preserve the water-repellent coating.
Are the pockets large enough for a smartphone?
The pockets are designed for children's hands and small items like gloves or keys, and may not securely fit larger modern smartphones.
Can this be worn in deep winter?
It is ideal for transitional cool weather. In extreme, freezing, or sub-zero conditions, it is best used as a layer under a larger coat.
Does the hood detach?
No, the hood is 'grown-on,' meaning it is permanently attached to the jacket for a seamless, draft-free fit.
Troubleshooting
Water-repellency seems to be fading
The durable water-repellent (DWR) finish can wear off over time. You can refresh the coating using a specialized wash-in or spray-on DWR treatment suitable for polyester outerwear.
Zipper is sticking
Check the track for loose threads or debris. Use a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant to help the slider move smoothly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Regatta Lofthouse jacket performing at its best, follow these care guidelines. Always check the internal care label before washing; generally, these polyester garments should be machine washed on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. To maintain the water-repellent finish, avoid using fabric softeners, as they can clog the fabric pores. If the jacket becomes soaked, allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent damage to the padding. For sizing, the 5-6 UK size is intended for children typically in that age range, though we recommend referencing the child's height and chest measurement for the most accurate fit.
