FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The Regatta Calderdale III is primarily a waterproof and breathable shell jacket. It does not provide insulation for warmth, so for very cold weather, we recommend layering it over appropriate thermal clothing or fleeces.

Can I machine wash this jacket?

Yes, this jacket is machine washable. Please refer to the care label inside the garment for specific instructions, typically washing on a cool or warm cycle with a mild liquid detergent and avoiding fabric softeners.

Does this jacket have a hood?

Info needed: Please check the product images or detailed specifications for confirmation regarding a hood. Most children's waterproof jackets include a hood for full rain protection.

What does 'Isotex 10000' mean?

Isotex 10000 refers to Regatta's waterproof and breathable fabric technology. '10000' indicates a hydrostatic head of 10,000mm, meaning it can withstand 10,000mm of water pressure, ensuring excellent waterproofing, while also allowing moisture vapor to escape for breathability.

Are the reflective trims permanent?

Yes, the 360 reflective trims are an integral part of the jacket's design and are durable. They are intended to provide enhanced visibility throughout the jacket's lifespan, assuming proper care and maintenance.

Is this jacket unisex?

Yes, the Regatta Calderdale III Waterproof Jacket is designed to be unisex, suitable for both boys and girls.

Troubleshooting

My child feels wet inside the jacket, even though it's waterproof.

This could be due to condensation if the child is overheating, or the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish has worn off. Ensure proper layering to avoid excessive sweating. If water isn't beading on the surface, clean the jacket according to care instructions and consider reproofing it with a suitable DWR treatment.

The jacket seems less effective at repelling water than before.

The DWR finish may need reactivation or replenishment. First, wash the jacket as per care instructions. Sometimes, simply cleaning can restore the DWR. If not, apply a DWR spray or wash-in product designed for waterproof outdoor gear.

The main zipper is stiff or difficult to operate.

Clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and mild soap to remove any dirt or debris. If it remains stiff, a zipper lubricant (like a silicone-based stick) can be applied to the teeth to improve movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility

Care

Proper care will maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable properties over time. Always refer to the specific care label inside the garment for the most accurate instructions. Generally, for polyester waterproof jackets:

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold (usually 30°C or 40°C) with a mild liquid detergent. Avoid powder detergents, fabric softeners, and bleach, as these can clog the fabric's pores and impair its breathability and water repellency.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Avoid high heat as it can damage the waterproof membrane.
  3. Ironing: Do not iron.
  4. Reproofing: Over time, the durable water repellent (DWR) finish may wear off. If water no longer beads on the surface, consider reproofing the jacket with a wash-in or spray-on DWR treatment designed for waterproof breathable fabrics.
