FAQs
What age group is the '9-10' size for?
The '9-10' size is designed for children typically aged 9 to 10 years old. It's always best to check the specific size guide for measurements if available to ensure the best fit.
Is this jacket suitable for cold weather?
This is a shell jacket designed for waterproof protection and does not provide insulation. For cold weather, it should be worn over warm layers such as a fleece or an insulated jacket.
Can the hood be removed or adjusted?
The jacket features a 'grown-on hood,' which means it is permanently attached and cannot be removed. It is also not designed with adjustable drawstrings.
How many pockets does this jacket have?
The Regatta Stormbreak Waterproof Jacket is equipped with two lower pockets for convenient storage.
What material is the jacket made from?
The jacket is made from 100% Polyester Hydrafort fabric, ensuring its waterproof and durable qualities.
How should I wash the jacket?
Machine wash at 30°C using a mild detergent, preferably one designed for waterproof clothing. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach. Line dry or tumble dry on a low setting; do not iron.
Is the jacket breathable?
While the Hydrafort fabric is waterproof, it offers moderate breathability suitable for general outdoor use. For very high-exertion activities, some internal condensation might occur.
Troubleshooting
Water no longer beads on the surface (reduced water repellency).
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Wash the jacket with a technical outdoor detergent and consider re-applying a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment according to the product's instructions.
Jacket feels stiff or uncomfortable.
Ensure the correct size is being worn. Stiffness can sometimes occur if fabric softeners are used during washing; avoid these. Try washing again with a technical cleaner designed for waterproof outerwear.
Moisture buildup inside the jacket.
This is often condensation, especially during high activity. While the jacket is waterproof, it's not fully breathable. Ensure your child isn't overdressed underneath. If the issue persists, check that the outer fabric isn't saturated, which can prevent the DWR from working effectively (see DWR solution above).
