FAQs

Is the Regatta Puddle IV Puddle Suit suitable for very cold weather?

No, this suit is primarily designed for waterproof and breathable protection, not insulation. For very cold weather, we recommend layering warm clothing underneath the suit to provide adequate warmth.

Can my child wear regular clothes under this suit?

Yes, the Regatta Puddle IV suit is designed to be worn as an outer protective layer over your child's regular clothing or base layers.

How do I choose the correct size for my child?

We recommend referring to Regatta's official size chart, which typically provides guidance based on age, height, and sometimes weight. A well-fitting suit allows for comfortable movement and effective protection.

How should I wash and care for the Puddle Suit?

Machine wash cold (30°C) on a gentle cycle with a mild, technical detergent. Do not use fabric softener or bleach. Air dry completely, away from direct heat. Do not tumble dry. Regular washing can help maintain breathability by removing dirt that clogs the membrane.

What does 'Isolite 10000' mean?

`Isolite 10000` is Regatta's proprietary waterproof and breathable fabric technology. '10000' refers to a hydrostatic head of 10,000mm, indicating a high level of waterproofing, while also allowing moisture vapor to escape from the inside, keeping your child comfortable.

Is this suit breathable?

Yes, thanks to the `Isolite 10000` technology, the suit is designed to be both waterproof and breathable, helping to prevent your child from feeling clammy and uncomfortable during active play.

What is the purpose of the reflective trim?

The reflective trim is a safety feature that enhances your child's visibility in low-light conditions, such as overcast days, dusk, or early morning, making them more noticeable to others.

Troubleshooting

Child feels damp or wet inside the suit.

First, check if the suit is correctly sized and all elasticated openings (cuffs, waist, hood) are properly positioned to prevent water ingress. Ensure your child isn't overdressed, as internal dampness can also be caused by condensation from sweat due to limited breathability of underlying layers, especially if very active. If the issue persists, the DWR finish may need refreshing.

Water is no longer beading off the fabric.

This indicates that the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish is wearing off. This is normal after extended use and washing. You can easily restore the water-repellency by applying a specialized DWR re-proofer product, available as a spray-on or wash-in treatment for technical outerwear.

Difficulty getting the suit on or off.

Ensure the child is wearing smooth, non-bulky layers underneath. If the suit feels tight, it may be too small; refer to the size guide. Try putting one limb in at a time, starting with legs, then arms. A slight shake can help the suit settle.

Suit appears stained or muddy after play.

For light dirt, simply wipe clean with a damp cloth. For heavier mud, follow the care instructions: machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent and air dry. Avoid scrubbing too vigorously, which can damage the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care ### Setup 1. Preparation: Ensure your child is wearing appropriate base layers or regular clothing underneath, depending on the weather. 2. Putting On: Guide your child's legs into the suit one at a time, then their arms. 3. Adjusting: Gently pull the suit up and ensure the elasticated cuffs and waist sit comfortably, providing a snug fit without being too tight. The grown-on hood is ready for use when needed. ### Compatibility This Regatta Puddle IV suit is designed for kids and is a unisex product, suitable for both boys and girls. It is available in various children's sizes (e.g., UK size 1 to 3-4 years, depending on variant) to ensure a proper fit as your child grows. Always refer to the specific size chart to match your child's measurements for optimal comfort and protection. ### Care Proper care will maintain the waterproof and breathable properties of your Regatta Puddle IV suit. - Cleaning: After use, wipe down with a damp cloth to remove mud and dirt. For a more thorough clean: 1. Machine wash cold (30°C) on a gentle cycle. 2. Use a small amount of mild liquid detergent, preferably one designed for technical waterproof outerwear. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, and harsh detergents. 3. Close all zips and fastenings before washing. - Drying: Hang to air dry away from direct heat. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can damage the waterproof coating and DWR finish. - DWR Reapplication: Over time and with washing, the `Durable Water Repellent (DWR)` finish may wear off, causing water to soak into the outer fabric instead of beading. You can restore this by applying a spray-on or wash-in DWR re-proofer specifically designed for waterproof garments. - Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
