FAQs
Is the Regatta Valenta jacket truly waterproof?
Yes, the jacket features Isotex 10000 fabric, which is certified to provide excellent waterproof protection, keeping your child dry in rainy conditions.
What is Warmloft insulation?
Warmloft is a lightweight, synthetic insulation developed by Regatta that effectively traps heat, providing warmth without adding excessive bulk to the jacket.
How do I clean this jacket?
Machine wash cold (30°C) with a mild, liquid detergent or specialized outerwear cleaner. Do not use fabric softener, bleach, or iron. Tumble dry on low or air dry.
Does it have reflective features for safety?
Yes, the Regatta Valenta jacket includes reflective details to enhance visibility in low-light conditions, improving your child's safety.
Can this jacket be worn in winter?
With its Warmloft insulation and waterproof-breathable fabric, it's suitable for chilly and wet winter days. For very cold or extreme winter conditions, layering underneath is highly recommended.
What age range is this jacket for?
This specific variant of the Regatta Valenta Waterproof Jacket is designed for children aged 7-8 years. Other sizes are available.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The jacket's main fabric is waterproof, offering protection for items inside the patch pockets, but the pockets themselves may not be fully seam-sealed to prevent water ingress in extreme downpours.
Troubleshooting
My child feels cold despite wearing the jacket.
While the jacket has insulation, for very cold temperatures, ensure your child is wearing appropriate layers underneath. A base layer and a mid-layer (like a fleece) can significantly boost warmth.
Water seems to be soaking into the fabric instead of beading off.
This indicates the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish is wearing off. Clean the jacket as per care instructions, then re-apply a DWR treatment (spray or wash-in) specifically designed for waterproof outerwear.
The hood feels too loose or tight.
The hood is sherpa-lined for comfort and warmth. While it may not have dedicated adjustable drawcords, ensure the main jacket zipper is fully up to secure the hood around the face. The adjustable cuffs and waist can also impact overall fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:

Care:
To ensure the longevity and performance of your Regatta Valenta Waterproof Jacket, follow these general care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash cold (around 30°C) with a technical outerwear cleaner or a mild liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, and strong detergents, as these can degrade the waterproof coating.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or air dry away from direct heat. Overheating can damage the waterproof membrane. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing.
- Reproofing: Over time, the durable water repellent (DWR) finish may wear off. If you notice water soaking into the fabric instead of beading up, consider reproofing with a suitable DWR spray or wash-in product, following the product's instructions.
- Storage: Store the jacket clean and dry in a cool, well-ventilated area.
