FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for very cold winter weather?

The Regatta Stormbreak is a waterproof and windproof shell jacket, primarily designed to protect against rain and wind. For very cold winter weather, it's essential to wear warm insulating layers underneath, as the jacket itself provides limited thermal insulation.

Are the coordinating waterproof trousers included with this jacket?

No, the coordinating Regatta Stormbreak waterproof trousers are sold separately. This jacket provides upper body protection, and the trousers complete the waterproof outfit.

How do I choose the correct size for my child?

This specific jacket is sized for children aged 7-8 years. For the best fit, it's recommended to consult Regatta's official size guide, which usually provides chest, waist, and height measurements corresponding to age ranges. Consider any layers your child might wear underneath.

Can I machine wash this jacket?

Yes, you can machine wash this jacket. Use a gentle cycle with cold water and a technical wash specifically formulated for waterproof fabrics. Avoid using conventional detergents, fabric softeners, or bleach, as these can damage the jacket's waterproof coating and taped seams. Always air dry the jacket; do not tumble dry.

What does 'Hydrafort 5000' mean?

'Hydrafort 5000' is Regatta's proprietary waterproof and windproof fabric technology. The '5000' typically refers to the hydrostatic head rating, indicating a good level of water resistance suitable for general wet weather conditions.

Is the hood detachable?

No, the hood on the Regatta Kids Pro Stormbreak Jacket is integral, meaning it is permanently attached to the jacket and cannot be detached.

Troubleshooting

Jacket seems to be losing its waterproof effectiveness

First, ensure the jacket is clean. Dirt and oils can block the DWR finish. If clean and still leaking, consider re-applying a DWR treatment using a reproofing spray or wash-in product designed for waterproof garments.

Water appears to be seeping through the seams

Inspect the taped seams on the inside of the jacket for any peeling, lifting, or damage. If the taping is damaged, this can compromise waterproofing. For minor issues, specialist seam sealants can sometimes be used.

Jacket feels too restrictive or uncomfortable

Ensure the jacket size (7-8 years) is appropriate for your child's current measurements. Consider the thickness of the layers worn underneath; this jacket is designed as an outer shell, so avoid overly bulky undergarments if a snug fit is preferred.

Reflective trim is not bright or visible

Check if the reflective trim is clean. Dirt or mud can obscure its reflectivity. Gently clean the trim with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary to restore its effectiveness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care### SetupSimply put on the jacket over your child's clothing. Ensure the integral hood is correctly positioned if needed, and the elasticated cuffs are snug around the wrists.### CompatibilityThis jacket is designed for children aged 7-8 years old. It's a versatile outer layer that can be worn over various undergarments, from t-shirts to thick fleeces, depending on the weather conditions. The jacket pairs perfectly with Regatta's coordinating Stormbreak waterproof trousers (sold separately) for complete head-to-toe protection.### CareProper care will extend the life and maintain the waterproof quality of your jacket. - Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle using a technical wash for waterproof fabrics (avoid conventional detergents, which can strip waterproofing). - Drying: Do not tumble dry. Hang to air dry away from direct heat. - Ironing: Do not iron. - Bleach/Softener: Do not bleach or use fabric softener, as these can damage the waterproof coating. - Re-proofing: Over time, the durable water repellent (DWR) finish may wear off. If you notice water not beading on the surface, consider applying a suitable re-proofing spray or wash-in treatment designed for waterproof outerwear.
