FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for very cold or snowy weather?

This jacket is a waterproof and windproof shell. While excellent for rain and wind, it does not provide significant insulation. For very cold or snowy weather, we recommend layering it over warm base and mid-layers, such as a fleece or thermal top, to ensure your child stays warm.

Are the coordinating waterproof trousers included with the jacket?

No, the coordinating Stormbreak trousers are sold separately. This product includes only the jacket.

How should I wash this waterproof jacket?

Always refer to the care label inside the jacket. Generally, it should be machine washed on a cool, gentle cycle (around 30°C) with a specific technical outerwear cleaner or a small amount of liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach, as these can damage the waterproof properties.

Can I tumble dry the jacket?

It is not recommended to tumble dry this jacket. High heat can damage the waterproof coating. It's best to air dry it naturally, hanging it in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat or sunlight.

What does 'Hydrafort 5000' mean?

Hydrafort 5000 refers to Regatta's proprietary waterproof and windproof fabric technology. The '5000' typically indicates a hydrostatic head rating of 5000mm, signifying a good level of waterproof protection against rain.

What is the purpose of the reflective trim?

The reflective trim detail at the back hem is a safety feature designed to enhance your child's visibility. It reflects light, making them more noticeable to others, particularly in low-light conditions like dawn, dusk, or cloudy weather.

Troubleshooting

Water appears to be seeping through the jacket.

First, check if the jacket's DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating is still effective by seeing if water beads off. If not, consider re-applying a DWR treatment. Also, inspect for any physical damage or tears that might compromise waterproofing, especially around seams. Ensure zips are fully closed and the integral hood is properly positioned.

Jacket feels cold or not warm enough in chilly conditions.

This jacket is a 'shell' and designed to be waterproof and windproof, not for insulation. Ensure your child is wearing appropriate warm layers underneath, such as a fleece or thermal top, suitable for the ambient temperature.

Reflective trim seems less visible than expected.

Check that the reflective trim at the back hem is not obscured by a backpack, another piece of clothing, or excessive dirt. Clean the reflective area gently if soiled to ensure maximum visibility in low light.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent weather protection: Fully waterproof and windproof with taped seams for comprehensive defense.
  • Enhanced safety: Reflective trim improves visibility in dim conditions.
  • Practical design: Features an integral hood and two convenient lower pockets.
  • Durable material: Made from robust Hydrafort 5000 polyester, designed to withstand active use.
  • Comfortable fit: Elasticated cuffs help seal out elements and provide a snug feel.

Cons

  • Trousers sold separately: Does not include matching waterproof trousers, which need to be purchased additionally.
  • Shell design: Requires additional warm layers for colder temperatures, as it provides minimal insulation on its own.
  • Info needed: Specific breathability rating is not provided for varied activity levels.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

No complex setup is required. Simply put the jacket on your child over their regular clothing. The integral hood can be pulled up as needed for head protection.

Compatibility

This jacket is designed for children aged 9-10 years and is suitable for both boys and girls (`Unisex`). It's intended to be worn as an outer layer over warm clothing, making it compatible with various base and mid-layers depending on the temperature. Coordinating waterproof trousers are sold separately if a full suit is desired.

Care

Proper care will help maintain the jacket's waterproof properties and extend its lifespan. The jacket is made from `Polyester`.

  • Washing: Always check the care label inside the jacket for specific instructions. Generally, waterproof polyester jackets should be machine washed on a cool or gentle cycle (around 30°C) using a technical outerwear cleaner or a small amount of liquid detergent. Avoid using fabric softener, as it can impair the waterproof finish.
  • Drying: Do not tumble dry, as high heat can damage the waterproof coating. Air dry the jacket naturally, ideally in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat or sunlight.
  • Storage: Store the jacket clean and dry in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing it tightly for long periods to preserve its shape and waterproof integrity.
  • Re-waterproofing: Over time, the durable water repellent (DWR) finish may wear off. If water starts soaking into the fabric rather than beading off, you may need to re-treat the jacket with a DWR spray or wash-in product, following the product's instructions.
