FAQs

Is this jacket truly waterproof?

Yes, the Regatta Calderdale III jacket features Isotex 10000 fabric and fully taped seams, ensuring complete waterproof protection to keep your child dry in wet conditions.

What does 'Isotex 10000' mean?

Isotex 10000 is Regatta's waterproof and breathable fabric technology. '10000' refers to its hydrostatic head rating (how much water pressure it can withstand before leaking) and its breathability rating (how much water vapor can pass through over 24 hours), both indicating high performance.

Will this jacket keep my child warm?

The Calderdale III is designed for waterproofing and breathability, not insulation. For warmth in colder temperatures, we recommend layering it over a fleece or thermal mid-layer.

How should I clean the jacket?

Machine wash cold (30°C) on a gentle cycle with a technical cleaner designed for waterproof fabrics. Avoid fabric softeners or bleach, and tumble dry on low heat or air dry.

Does it have pockets for storing items?

Yes, the jacket is equipped with two zipped lower pockets and one zipped chest pocket, providing secure storage for small essentials.

What are the reflective trims for?

The 360 reflective trims are designed to enhance visibility in low-light conditions, such as early mornings, evenings, or overcast weather, contributing to your child's safety.

Is this jacket made with sustainable materials?

Yes, the Isotex 10000 recycled peached polyester fabric is made with recycled content, reflecting a commitment to environmental sustainability.

Troubleshooting

Water is no longer beading on the jacket's surface.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need re-activating or re-applying. After washing, tumble dry on a low heat setting to re-activate the existing DWR. If this doesn't work, purchase a DWR re-proofing spray or wash-in product suitable for waterproof breathable fabrics and follow its application instructions.

My child feels clammy or sweaty inside the jacket.

Ensure your child is wearing appropriate layers underneath. Cotton can absorb moisture and feel cold; opt for synthetic or wool base layers that wick moisture away. Also, check that the jacket's zippers are not obstructing ventilation if possible, though this jacket's breathability rating should generally prevent this unless over-layered.

The jacket's hood or cuffs feel too loose or too tight.

Utilize the adjustable features. The hood has elastication, the cuffs have adjustable fastenings, and jackets for ages 7+ have an adjustable shockcord hem. Adjust these to achieve a secure yet comfortable fit that seals out the elements.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof protection for keeping children dry in wet weather.
  • High breathability rating prevents overheating and clamminess during activity.
  • Durable construction with taped seams ensures longevity and reliability.
  • Made with recycled content, contributing to environmental sustainability.
  • Adjustable features allow for a snug, protective fit.
  • Reflective trims enhance safety in low light.

Cons

  • Not designed for significant insulation, requires layering for warmth in cold conditions.
  • Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may require periodic reapplication over time.
  • Printed name label is only included for jackets up to age 8, limiting utility for older children.
  • The technical fabric might feel stiffer than non-waterproof casual jackets.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup

Your Regatta Calderdale III jacket is ready to wear straight out of the package. For optimal comfort and protection, make the following adjustments:

  • Hood: The grown-on technical hood features elastication. Adjust it for a snug fit around your child's head to keep rain out without obstructing vision.
  • Cuffs: Use the adjustable cuffs to tighten them around your child's wrists. This helps to prevent water from running down the arms and seals in warmth.
  • Hem: For jackets aged 7 years and older, the adjustable shockcord hem can be tightened to prevent drafts and keep rain from splashing up underneath the jacket.

Compatibility

This jacket is designed for kids and is unisex, making it suitable for all children participating in outdoor activities. It pairs well with:

  • Layering: For colder weather, wear over fleece jackets or thermal base layers as the Calderdale III focuses on waterproofing and breathability, not insulation.
  • Outdoor Trousers: Combine with waterproof or water-resistant trousers for full body protection in wet conditions.
  • Footwear: Ideal for use with hiking boots or waterproof wellies for comprehensive outdoor readiness.

Care Instructions

Proper care will maintain the jacket's performance and extend its lifespan. Always check the garment care label for specific instructions.

  1. Cleaning: Close all zippers and fasteners before washing. Machine wash cold (30°C or 86°F) on a gentle cycle using a technical cleaner specifically designed for waterproof breathable fabrics. Avoid regular detergents, as they can impair the DWR finish and breathability.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting, or hang to air dry away from direct heat. Excessive heat can damage the waterproof membrane.
  3. DWR Reapplication: Over time, the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may wear off. If water no longer beads up on the fabric surface, you can restore it using a spray-on or wash-in DWR re-proofing product, following the product's instructions.
  4. Avoid: Do not use bleach, fabric softeners, or dry clean. These can damage the waterproof membrane and DWR coating.
