FAQs

What is Isotex 20000?

Isotex 20000 is a waterproof, breathable, and windproof fabric technology developed by Regatta. The '20000' rating indicates a hydrostatic head of 20,000mm (waterproofness) and a breathability rating of 20,000g/m²/24 hours.

How do I clean the jacket?

You can machine wash the jacket at 40°C using a mild detergent. It's recommended to wash it inside out, with all zippers closed, and preferably on its own or with similar items. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Tumble dry on low heat.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The jacket provides excellent protection against wind and rain. For very cold weather, it is designed to be layered. Add a warm fleece or insulated mid-layer underneath to provide sufficient warmth.

How do I ensure the best waterproof performance?

Ensure all zippers and fastenings are closed. Regularly clean the jacket according to care instructions. The DWR finish can be refreshed using a suitable re-proofing spray or wash-in product if water no longer beads on the surface.

What does 'taped seams' mean?

Taped seams means that the stitching lines of the jacket are covered with a special waterproof tape. This prevents water from penetrating through the needle holes, ensuring complete waterproofing.

Can the hood be detached?

The hood is a 'grown-on' technical hood, meaning it is permanently attached to the jacket and cannot be detached.

Are the reflective trims effective in the dark?

Yes, the 360 reflective trims are designed to reflect light from various angles, significantly increasing visibility in low-light conditions and at night when illuminated by external light sources.

Troubleshooting

Jacket no longer feels waterproof

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Consider applying a re-proofing treatment suitable for waterproof fabrics, following product instructions.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Ensure the zipper is clean and free of debris. You can use a graphite pencil or a silicone-based lubricant to help it glide smoothly. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Child feels clammy inside the jacket

This can occur during high-intensity activity. Ensure appropriate base layers are worn. The jacket's breathability is rated for moderate activity; heavy exertion may still lead to some moisture build-up.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof and breathability ratings for sustained comfort.
  • Durable construction suitable for active outdoor play.
  • Multiple pockets provide convenient storage.
  • Adjustable features ensure a snug and protective fit.
  • High visibility through reflective trims.

Cons

  • The technical hood may require adjustment for optimal fit on smaller children.
  • As with many waterproofs, breathability can be tested during very strenuous activity.
  • Polyester material may not be ideal for extreme cold without additional layering.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This jacket requires no assembly. It is ready to wear upon purchase.

Compatibility: Suitable for children aged approximately 3-4 years (size specified). The unisex design fits most body types within this age range. It can be layered over base and mid-layers for added warmth.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine washable at 40°C.
  • Bleaching: Do not bleach.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting.
  • Ironing: Do not iron.
  • Washing Recommendations: Wash separately. Close all zippers and fasteners before washing. Wash inside out. Re-proof if necessary after washing. For best results, use a technical wash product designed for waterproof outerwear.
