Regatta Hanleigh Jacket - Blue, Size: 3-4

The Regatta Hanleigh jacket is primarily designed for waterproof and windproof protection. It is not heavily insulated and is intended to be worn as an outer shell, allowing for layering underneath during colder conditions.

Isotex 15000 is Regatta's technical fabric rating, indicating a hydrostatic head of 15,000mm, which means it can withstand significant water pressure before leaking. It also signifies good breathability.

No, the hood on the Hanleigh jacket is 'grown-on,' meaning it is permanently attached to the jacket.

You'll notice that water no longer beads up and rolls off the fabric, but instead soaks into the outer material. If the fabric 'wets out' in damp conditions, it's time to reapply the DWR.

The reflective trims are designed to be durable for normal wear and washing according to the care instructions. Excessive abrasion or improper washing may affect their longevity.

The jacket features a 100% polyester mesh lining in the body and 100% polyester taffeta lining in the sleeves for comfort and ease of movement.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and re-apply a DWR treatment specifically designed for outdoor wear.

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move it back and forth. If still stiff, a small amount of graphite from a pencil rubbed on the teeth can help lubricate it.

The grown-on hood is designed for a specific fit. Ensure the jacket is the correct size for the child. Check that the collar is fully zipped up, which helps position the hood correctly.
