FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The Regatta Stormbreak Jacket is a waterproof and windproof shell layer. It does not provide significant insulation on its own. For very cold weather, it is designed to be worn over warm base and mid-layers, such as thermal tops and fleeces.

How do I ensure the jacket remains waterproof?

To maintain waterproofing, always follow the care label instructions: wash at 30°C with a mild detergent, avoid fabric softeners, and air dry. If water stops beading on the surface, you may need to reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment designed for outdoor gear.

Can I tumble dry this jacket?

No, tumble drying is not recommended. High heat can damage the waterproof coating and taped seams, which are crucial for the jacket's performance. Always air dry the jacket.

Are the matching trousers included with this jacket?

No, this product listing is for the Regatta Kids Pro Stormbreak Jacket only. Coordinating Stormbreak overtrousers are available for separate purchase.

What does 'Hydrafort 5000' mean?

'Hydrafort 5000' refers to the jacket's waterproof fabric technology, indicating it has a hydrostatic head rating of 5000mm. This means the fabric can withstand a column of water 5000mm high over 24 hours, making it highly effective against rain and wet conditions.

Is the hood removable?

No, the jacket features an 'integral hood,' meaning it is permanently attached and cannot be detached.

What age group is this jacket designed for?

This particular variant of the Regatta Professional Kids Pro Stormbreak Jacket is specifically designed for children aged 2-3 years old, based on UK sizing.

Troubleshooting

Child feels damp inside the jacket during rain.

First, check that all zippers are fully closed and the hood is up if needed. Dampness can occur due to either DWR wear-off (water soaking through) or condensation from internal warmth. If it's a DWR issue, consider re-proofing the jacket. If it's condensation, adjust the child's layers to prevent overheating.

The zipper snags or is difficult to pull.

Inspect the zipper path for any fabric caught in the teeth. Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper. If it continues to stick, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (like beeswax or a specialized zipper wax) to the teeth to improve glide.

Reflective trim appears to be peeling or fading.

Reflective trims can show wear over time, especially with frequent washing. Ensure you are following the recommended washing instructions (30°C, air dry, no harsh chemicals). While minor peeling may not be fully repairable, the core waterproof function of the jacket remains unaffected.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

The Regatta Professional Kids Pro Stormbreak Jacket is ready to wear straight out of the packaging. Simply help your child put it on over their desired underlayers. Ensure the main zipper is fully engaged and pulled all the way up for maximum weather protection. The integral hood can be adjusted as needed for comfort.

Compatibility

This jacket is designed as a versatile outer shell suitable for children aged 2-3 years (UK sizing). It is compatible with a wide range of mid-layers such as fleeces, sweaters, or thermal tops to provide warmth as conditions dictate. For complete rain protection, coordinating Regatta Stormbreak overtrousers (e.g., product code `TRW808`) are available separately and pair seamlessly with the jacket.

Care

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your jacket:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Use a mild liquid detergent and avoid powder detergents, fabric softeners, bleach, or stain removers, as these can damage the waterproof coating and taped seams.
  2. Drying: Air dry only. Hang the jacket on a hanger away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not tumble dry, iron, or dry clean, as excessive heat can compromise the integrity of the `Hydrafort 5000` fabric and seam taping.
  3. Storage: Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing it in a cool, dry place. Storing a damp jacket can lead to mildew.
  4. Reproofing: Over time, the durable water repellent (DWR) finish on the fabric's exterior may wear off, causing water to 'wet out' rather than bead up. If this happens, you can restore water repellency using a suitable DWR re-proofing product designed for waterproof breathable fabrics, following the product's instructions carefully.
