FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for cold weather?
The Stormbreak is a waterproof shell jacket. While it provides excellent protection from wind and rain, it is not insulated for warmth. For cold weather, it should be layered over warm clothing like a fleece or jumper.
Can I machine wash this jacket?
Yes, you can machine wash it at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Remember to close all zippers and fasteners before washing. Crucially, avoid fabric softeners, as they can impair the jacket's waterproof properties.
What is Hydrafort fabric?
Hydrafort is Regatta's proprietary waterproof and windproof fabric technology. It is designed to keep you dry and comfortable by creating a protective barrier against challenging weather conditions.
How do I know what size to get?
This specific jacket is sized for children aged 3-4 years. For the most accurate fit, it is always recommended to consult Regatta's official sizing chart if available, or compare it against your child's current comfortable clothing size.
Does it have pockets?
Info needed: The provided product description does not specify whether this particular jacket model includes pockets. Please refer to the product's image gallery or detailed specifications for confirmation.
Will the elasticated cuffs be comfortable?
The elasticated cuffs are designed to provide a snug fit to effectively keep out rain and wind. They are generally comfortable for active children, allowing freedom of movement without being restrictive.
Is the hood adjustable?
The jacket features a 'grown-on hood,' meaning it is permanently attached and not detachable. The product description does not specify if it has adjustable drawcords or toggles, implying it's a fixed fit intended for ease of use.
Troubleshooting
Jacket doesn't seem to be waterproof anymore
Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can impair the DWR finish. If cleaning doesn't restore performance, apply a DWR re-proofing treatment designed for waterproof garments.
Water seeps through the cuffs
Ensure the elasticated cuffs are sitting snugly around the wrist. If they appear stretched or loose, this might indicate wear or that the jacket size is no longer ideal for the child.
Stiff or noisy fabric
This is common with new waterproof garments. Repeated wear and washing (following care instructions) will usually soften the fabric over time. Avoid harsh detergents or high heat drying which can exacerbate stiffness.
Unpleasant odor after prolonged use
Wash the jacket according to the care instructions provided. Ensure it is fully dry before storing to prevent mildew and odor build-up. Airing it out after each use can also help.

Care Instructions
Proper care helps maintain the jacket's waterproof properties and extends its lifespan.
- Washing: Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Close all zippers and fasteners before washing.
- Detergent: Use a mild, non-biological liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can impair waterproofing.
- Drying: Line dry or tumble dry on a low heat setting. Do not dry clean or iron, as high heat can damage the waterproof coating.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
- Re-proofing: Over time, the durable water repellent (DWR) finish may wear off. If water no longer beads on the surface, consider using a DWR re-proofing product specifically designed for waterproof outerwear.
