Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Lofthouse Plain Padded Jacket is an ideal choice for active children aged 7-8 who need a lightweight yet warm outer layer for chilly, unpredictable weather. Featuring synthetic Warmloft insulation and a water-repellent finish, this jacket provides reliable thermal protection and light weather resistance for everyday outdoor play or school commutes. While it excels at retaining heat, please note that it is designed for light showers and moderate cold, rather than extreme heavy-duty mountain conditions.

FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

The jacket has a water-repellent finish, making it showerproof, but it is not fully waterproof for heavy rain.

How do I choose the right size?

This specific model is sized for children aged 7-8 years. Ensure you compare your child's chest and arm measurements against standard charts if they are between sizes.

Can this be worn as a mid-layer?

Yes, its lightweight profile makes it easy to layer under a larger, unlined waterproof coat for colder days.

Are the pockets deep enough for a phone?

The pockets are designed for small essentials like keys or gloves, but may be too small for larger modern smartphones.

Is the hood detachable?

No, the hood is a 'grown-on' style, meaning it is permanently attached to the collar.

What is Warmloft insulation?

Warmloft is a synthetic insulation that mimics the properties of down to provide warmth while remaining compressible and lightweight.

Troubleshooting

Zipper feels stiff or gets stuck

Check the zip guard fabric to ensure it is not caught in the teeth. Run a graphite pencil tip along the zipper teeth to act as a lubricant.

Water begins to soak into the fabric

The DWR finish may be wearing off. Clean the jacket and re-apply a DWR spray treatment designed for synthetic outdoor clothing.

Jacket feels less warm over time

Wash the jacket to remove dirt and oils that flatten the insulation, then tumble dry on low with tennis balls to fluff up the synthetic fibers.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight design ensures comfort during active play
  • Effective insulation for colder autumn and spring days
  • Water-repellent finish protects against light showers
  • Secure pockets prevent loss of small items
  • Easy-to-use full zip closure for independent dressing

Cons

  • Not intended for heavy, sustained downpours
  • Synthetic padding may lose some loft if washed incorrectly
  • Limited to temperate cold weather rather than sub-zero climates

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep the Regatta Lofthouse jacket in top condition, follow these care guidelines. Always check the internal wash label, but generally, machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent to preserve the water-repellent finish. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR coating. For drying, tumble dry on a low heat setting to help restore the loft of the padding, or hang dry in a well-ventilated area. The jacket is designed to fit true to the 7-8 age range and functions well as a standalone piece or as part of a layering system under a larger raincoat if needed.
