FAQs
Is this jacket insulated for warmth?
No, the Regatta Stormbreak is a waterproof shell jacket. It is designed to keep rain out but does not provide insulation. We recommend layering warm clothing underneath for colder conditions.
How do I wash the jacket?
Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent or a specialist waterproof cleaner. Do NOT use fabric softener, as it can damage the waterproof coating. Air dry completely, do not tumble dry or iron.
What does Hydrafort fabric mean?
Hydrafort is Regatta's proprietary waterproof and windproof fabric technology. It ensures that the jacket effectively repels water, keeping your child dry and protected from the elements.
Does this jacket have pockets?
The product description does not specify pockets. Based on its design as a lightweight shell, it typically features a minimalist design which may not include them.
What age group is this jacket for?
This specific variant of the Regatta Stormbreak Jacket is sized for children aged 2-3 years.
Can this jacket be used in heavy rain?
Yes, with its Hydrafort fabric and durable construction, the jacket is designed to provide effective protection in wet weather, including heavy rain.
Is this jacket breathable?
While it is waterproof, the primary focus of the Hydrafort shell is protection from rain. Like many fully waterproof shell jackets, its breathability might be limited compared to highly breathable technical jackets, especially during vigorous activity.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels less waterproof over time.
This can happen with prolonged use or improper washing. Wash the jacket using a specialist waterproof cleaner (not regular detergent or fabric softener) and allow it to air dry thoroughly. If necessary, consider applying a durable water repellent (DWR) spray after cleaning.
Child feels cold despite wearing the jacket.
The Stormbreak is a shell jacket designed for waterproofing, not insulation. Ensure your child is wearing appropriate warm layers (e.g., a fleece or thermal top) underneath the jacket, especially in colder weather. Layering is key for warmth.
Elasticated cuffs seem stretched or ineffective.
Regular gentle care helps maintain elasticity. If elasticity is significantly lost due to wear and tear, unfortunately, it's difficult to repair. Ensure the jacket is not exposed to excessive heat during drying, which can degrade elastic materials.

Care
To maintain the jacket's waterproof properties and longevity:
- Washing: Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with a technical wash (e.g., specific waterproof cleaner) or a mild detergent. Do not use fabric softener, as it can impair the waterproof coating.
