FAQs
Is this jacket warm enough for winter?
The Regatta Kids Stormbreak is a waterproof shell jacket made from 100% polyester. It is designed to keep your child dry, not warm. For colder weather, we recommend layering it over a fleece or other insulating garments to provide warmth.
How do I wash the jacket to maintain its waterproofing?
Always check the care label inside the jacket for specific instructions. Generally, machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild, non-biological detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Air dry the jacket completely, do not tumble dry.
What does 'Hydrafort technology' mean?
Hydrafort is Regatta's proprietary waterproof and windproof fabric technology. It provides a reliable barrier against rain and wind, ensuring your child stays dry and comfortable in wet weather conditions.
What age group is this jacket suitable for?
This specific variant of the Regatta Kids Stormbreak Waterproof Jacket is designed for children aged 2-3 years.
Can I tumble dry this jacket?
No, it is not recommended to tumble dry this jacket. High heat can damage the waterproof coating and fabric. Always air dry the jacket to preserve its performance.
Does the hood detach?
No, the jacket features a 'grown-on hood,' meaning it is permanently attached to the jacket and does not detach. This design ensures it's always available for immediate protection.
Troubleshooting
Jacket seems less waterproof over time.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating might need refreshing. Wash the jacket following care instructions, then consider applying a DWR re-proofing spray or wash-in product designed for waterproof outerwear.
Jacket feels stiff or sticky after washing.
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners, which can leave residues. If this occurs, re-wash the jacket on a gentle cycle without detergent or with a technical cleaner designed for waterproof garments, then air dry thoroughly.
Elasticated cuffs feel too tight or loose.
The elasticated cuffs are designed to provide a snug fit to keep out elements. If they feel unusually tight or loose, double-check the jacket size against your child's measurements. Minor variations are normal with elastic.
