Regatta Calderdale III Waterproof Jacket - Black

The Regatta Calderdale III is a waterproof and breathable shell jacket. It provides protection from rain and wind but does not offer significant insulation on its own. For very cold weather, it should be worn over appropriate warm base and mid-layers.

Isotex 10000 is a waterproof and breathable fabric technology developed by Regatta. The '10000' refers to its hydrostatic head (10,000mm, meaning it can withstand 10,000mm of water before leaking) and breathability rating (10,000g/m2/24hrs, meaning 10,000 grams of water vapor can pass through a square meter of fabric in 24 hours).

It is generally recommended to air dry this jacket to protect the waterproof membrane and DWR finish. Always refer to the care label inside the jacket for specific drying instructions. High heat from tumble drying can damage the fabric's performance.

The 360 reflective trims are strategically placed on the jacket to reflect light from all angles. This enhances your child's visibility to others, such as drivers, in low-light conditions like dawn, dusk, or foggy weather, significantly improving safety.

The adjustable shockcord hem feature is specifically designed for ages 7 and up. For children younger than 7, the hem will have a standard fit without the shockcord adjustment.

Regatta jackets are typically sized by age (e.g., 3-4 years, 5-6 years). It's best to consult Regatta's official sizing guide, often based on height and chest measurements, to ensure the best fit for your child.

Yes, the jacket is made from durable recycled peached polyester fabric, designed to withstand the rigours of active outdoor play. Its construction with taped seams and quality materials ensures longevity.

This indicates the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need reactivating or reapplying. Wash the jacket using a technical cleaner and then apply a DWR re-proofing treatment spray or wash-in product as per product instructions.

Ensure the child is wearing appropriate layers underneath. Overdressing can lead to condensation, making them feel damp even if the jacket is breathable. Also, ensure the mesh lining is clean and unobstructed. If the issue persists, consider reapplying DWR if it's compromised, as a saturated outer fabric can reduce breathability.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the fabric away and then try to operate the zipper. If it's still stiff, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or graphite to the teeth.
