FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
No, this is a lightweight waterproof shell jacket designed for rain protection, not insulation. For cold weather, you will need to layer warm clothing, such as a fleece or thermal top, underneath.
How do I clean the Regatta Kids Stormbreak Waterproof Jacket?
Generally, machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, using a mild detergent or a technical wash for waterproof fabrics. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach. Air dry only; do not tumble dry. Always check the specific care label inside the jacket for precise instructions. (Info needed: Specific care label instructions not provided).
Does this jacket have pockets?
The product description does not specify external pockets. It is designed as a practical, lightweight shell. (Info needed: Confirm presence/absence and type of pockets if any).
What material is the jacket made from?
The Regatta Kids Stormbreak Waterproof Jacket is made from Polyester, utilizing Regatta's Hydrafort fabric technology for waterproofing.
Can this jacket be used for intense outdoor activities or heavy downpours?
It is designed for reliable waterproof coverage in wet weather. While durable, for extreme conditions or prolonged heavy downpours, professional-grade mountaineering gear might offer higher levels of protection. It is well-suited for general outdoor play, school, and light adventures.
What is 'Hydrafort' technology?
Hydrafort is Regatta's waterproof fabric technology. It provides a waterproof and windproof barrier, ensuring your child stays dry and protected from the elements.
Troubleshooting
Water is no longer beading on the jacket's surface, and it feels damp inside.
This indicates the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating may be wearing off. Clean the jacket according to care instructions, and if the issue persists, apply a reproofing spray or wash-in treatment designed for waterproof garments.
The jacket feels too cold, and my child isn't warm enough.
This is a shell jacket and does not provide insulation. Ensure your child is wearing appropriate warm layers (e.g., a fleece or wool sweater) underneath the jacket, especially in cold weather.
The fabric feels stiff or noisy during movement.
Some waterproof fabrics can initially feel a bit stiff. This often softens with wear and washing. Ensure it's not over-layered or too tight, which can restrict movement and exaggerate stiffness.
Zippers feel sticky or difficult to operate.
Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and warm water to remove any dirt or debris. A small amount of zipper lubricant (wax or silicone-based) can also help smooth operation. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Care Instructions
Proper care will maintain the jacket's waterproof performance and extend its lifespan.
- Washing: Machine wash cold (ideally 30°C or lower) on a gentle cycle. Close all zippers and fasteners before washing. Use a technical wash for waterproof garments or a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can impair the waterproof finish.
- Drying: Hang to air dry away from direct heat. Do not tumble dry. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing it excessively to maintain the integrity of the fabric.
- Reproofing: Over time, the durable water repellent (DWR) finish may wear off. If water no longer beads on the surface, consider reproofing with a suitable DWR treatment specifically designed for waterproof outerwear. (Info needed: Specific instructions on reproofing frequency or recommended products if available from manufacturer).
Always refer to the care label inside the jacket for the most accurate and specific instructions. (Info needed: Specific care label instructions not provided in product data).
