Full details

The Regatta Kids' Hanleigh Jacket is designed for children needing reliable waterproof and breathable protection during outdoor activities. Its key benefit is keeping kids dry and comfortable in various weather conditions, making it ideal for school, play, or adventures.

FAQs

What makes the fabric 'Isotex 15000' waterproof?

Isotex 15000 refers to a hydrostatic head rating, meaning the fabric can withstand the pressure of 15,000mm of water before it starts to seep through. This rating indicates a high level of waterproofing suitable for heavy rain.

How do I know if the jacket is suitable for my child's size?

Refer to the size guide provided by Regatta, which typically matches UK children's sizes to measurements. The specific size mentioned is 5-6 years.

Can this jacket be worn in cold weather?

Yes, it can be worn in cold weather. The jacket provides a waterproof and windproof outer shell, which can be layered over warmer clothing like fleeces or jumpers for added insulation.

Is the hood adjustable?

The jacket features a 'grown-on' hood, meaning it is attached to the jacket and is not detachable. It is designed to provide coverage but may not have adjustable drawstrings unless specified in the detailed product description.

How long does the water-repellent coating last?

The duration depends on usage and care. Regular washing and exposure to abrasion can diminish the coating over time. Reapplication of a water-repellent treatment is recommended periodically to maintain performance.

What does 'taped seams' mean for waterproofing?

Taped seams involve applying a waterproof tape over the stitches on the inside of the garment. This seals the tiny holes created by the needle during sewing, preventing water from penetrating through the seams.

Is the jacket suitable for very active children who might sweat a lot?

The jacket is designed to be breathable, which helps to manage moisture. However, for extremely vigorous activities, some moisture buildup from sweat is possible, as with most waterproof garments. It offers a good balance for general outdoor play.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer waterproof

The water-repellent coating may have worn off. Try washing the jacket with a technical wash and then applying a re-waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment. Ensure all seams are intact.

Child feels clammy or overheated

While breathable, intense physical activity can still cause some moisture buildup. Ensure the child is wearing appropriate layers underneath and consider opening the jacket slightly if possible during high exertion.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Gently try to move the zipper. If it remains stiff, apply a small amount of wax (like a candle or lip balm) or graphite from a pencil to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.

Jacket has lost its shape after washing

Ensure the jacket was washed on a cool, gentle cycle and avoid harsh spinning. Reshape the garment while damp and hang it to dry.

Care Instructions:

  • Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can impact the fabric's waterproof and breathable properties.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry away from direct heat sources.
  • Re-waterproofing: Periodically, you may wish to apply a re-waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment to maintain the jacket's water repellency, especially after significant wear or washing.
  • Ironing: Do not iron.
