Its key benefit is keeping little ones dry and comfortable during outdoor play, even in adverse weather.

FAQs
What age group is this puddle suit for?
This specific model is for infants aged 18-24 months. Regatta offers this style in a range of sizes for infants and children.
Is the Regatta Puddle Suit fully waterproof or water-resistant?
The suit is water-repellent due to its DWR finish and taped seams, making it excellent for rain and wet conditions. However, it is not designed for prolonged submersion and is considered highly water-resistant rather than fully waterproof.
How do I clean the puddle suit?
Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with liquid detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softener. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on low or hang dry.
When should I re-apply the water repellent treatment?
It is recommended to re-apply the DWR treatment after a few washes, or when you notice that water is no longer beading effectively on the fabric surface.
Can this suit be worn in cold weather?
The puddle suit provides protection from wind and rain. For colder conditions, layer warmer clothing underneath, such as fleece or thermal base layers.
Are there other colours or sizes available?
Yes, Regatta typically offers this style in various colours and a wide range of sizes for different age groups, from infants to older children.
Troubleshooting
Suit is not as water-repellent as before.
The DWR finish may have worn off. Clean the suit and re-apply a technical waterproofer spray or wash-in treatment according to the product's instructions.
Child feels damp after wearing in heavy rain.
While water-repellent, the suit is not fully waterproof for extreme conditions. Ensure it's worn over appropriate base layers and consider a fully waterproof outer layer for very heavy rain.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to close.
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a small brush. Apply a wax-based lubricant or a specialized zipper lubricant if needed.
Elastic cuffs feel loose.
Check for any damage to the elastic. If the elastic has stretched significantly, it may require professional repair or replacement. Ensure the correct size is being worn, as a suit that is too large can cause cuffs to appear loose.

Care Instructions: To maintain the integrity of the DWR finish and fabric, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash at 30°C (86°F) on a gentle cycle with a small amount of liquid detergent. Do not use powder detergent, bleach, or fabric softener.
- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry away from direct heat.
