FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

Yes, the Regatta Kids Stormbreak Jacket features Hydrafort fabric which is designed to be waterproof and durable, effectively seeing off rainfall with ease, making it suitable for moderate to heavy rain.

Does this jacket have pockets?

The product description does not specify the presence of pockets. Info needed: Please check the product images or detailed specifications from the retailer for confirmation regarding pockets.

Is the hood adjustable or removable?

The jacket features an integrated hood for extra protection. The product description does not specify if it is adjustable or detachable. It is typically fixed to provide constant protection.

How breathable is the jacket?

Made from 100% polyester, this jacket provides good protection against wind and rain. While it offers moderate breathability, it may not feature advanced ventilation systems found in some higher-end breathable waterproof jackets. It's best suited for general outdoor play and activities rather than high-intensity sports where maximum ventilation is critical.

What age range is this jacket for?

This jacket is designed for kids, with sizes ranging from approximately 2 years up to 13-14 years. We recommend checking the provided chest circumference guide to ensure the best fit for your child.

Can I wash this jacket in a washing machine?

Yes, you can machine wash this jacket. Use a cold wash (up to 30°C) with a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners to maintain its waterproof properties. Always air dry or tumble dry on a very low heat setting.

Troubleshooting

Water appears to be seeping through the jacket, or it feels less waterproof.

First, check for any tears or punctures in the fabric. If none are found, the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish might be wearing off. Try washing the jacket according to the care instructions, and if the issue persists, consider applying a technical re-proofing spray or wash-in product designed for waterproof outerwear.

The jacket feels stiff or 'noisy' during movement.

This is common with new waterproof polyester jackets. The fabric may soften slightly with regular wear and washes. Ensure the jacket is sized correctly to allow for comfortable movement without excessive rubbing.

The zipper snags or is difficult to pull up/down.

Ensure the fabric lining near the zipper is not catching. For sticky zippers, gently rub a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant along the teeth of the zipper to improve smooth operation. Avoid forcing the zipper.

The jacket doesn't seem to fit correctly despite checking the age range.

Age ranges are approximate. Always refer to the specific chest circumference sizing chart provided (e.g., 5-6 years corresponds to 59-61 cm chest). Measure your child's chest accurately to ensure the best fit.

Care Instructions

To ensure the longevity and performance of your 100% polyester Regatta Kids Stormbreak Waterproof Jacket, follow these general care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold (up to 30°C) with similar colors. Use a gentle cycle and a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can impair the jacket's waterproof properties.
  2. Drying: Do not tumble dry at high heat. Air dry by hanging the jacket, or tumble dry on a very low heat setting if absolutely necessary. Excessive heat can damage the waterproof coating.
  3. Bleaching & Ironing: Do not bleach. Do not iron, as high heat can damage the fabric's waterproof coating.
  4. Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
  5. Re-proofing: Over time, the durable water repellent (DWR) finish may wear off. If water stops beading on the surface and starts 'wetting out' the fabric, consider using a wash-in or spray-on technical re-proofing product designed for waterproof garments. Always follow the specific product instructions.
