Full details

The Regatta Hoku II kids' swim top is designed for children aged 3-4 years who enjoy water activities. Its key benefit is providing lightweight, protective coverage against the sun with UPF 50+ protection, ensuring comfort during swimming, surfing, or playing. A potential caveat is that while it offers excellent sun protection, it's not a flotation device. This top is crafted from a quick-drying polyester and elastane blend, featuring long sleeves and a camouflage pattern in blue for a stylish look.

FAQs

What is the main benefit of the Hoku II swim top?

The primary benefit is its UPF 50+ protection, offering excellent defense against harmful UV rays, combined with quick-drying and comfortable fabric for water activities.

Is this swim top suitable for babies?

This specific size is for children aged 3-4 years. Regatta may offer different sizes for other age groups.

Can this be used as a life-saving device?

No, this swim top is designed for sun protection and comfort; it is not a flotation device and does not provide buoyancy.

How should I wash the swim top?

Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Rinse well after use in salt or chlorinated water. Avoid bleaching, ironing, and dry cleaning.

Does the fabric offer protection from cold water?

The fabric offers some insulation due to being a covering, but it is primarily designed for sun protection and comfort in warm water. It is not a thermal wetsuit.

Are the matching swim hats included?

No, the matching swim hats (RKC270 & RKC254) are sold separately.

What material is the swim top made of?

It is made from a blend of 85% polyester and 15% elastane, which contributes to its quick-drying and comfortable properties.

Troubleshooting

Fabric feels stiff after washing.

Ensure you have followed the care instructions, particularly regarding the use of fabric softeners (which should be avoided) and rinsing thoroughly after use in salt or chlorinated water.

Colour appears faded.

Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight after washing can cause fading. Always dry the garment in the shade. Avoid harsh detergents.

Fit seems too tight or restrictive.

Verify that the correct size (3-4 Years) has been purchased. If the garment is the correct size but feels restrictive, it may be due to the specific fabric blend not being suited for extremely intense physical activity. Ensure the garment is fully dry for optimal stretch.
