FAQs
Is this jacket truly waterproof?
Yes, the Regatta Kids Stormbreak Jacket features Regatta's Hydrafort technology, which provides reliable waterproof protection against rain.
What material is the jacket made from?
The jacket is made from 100% polyester, offering durability and waterproof performance.
Does it have any pockets?
The product description does not explicitly mention pockets. It is designed as a minimalist shell for protection.
Can this jacket be worn in cold weather?
This is a shell jacket and provides limited insulation. For cold weather, it is recommended to wear warm layers underneath, such as fleeces or thermals.
How do I choose the correct size for my child?
This specific variant is for kids aged 2-3 years. For other sizes, please refer to Regatta's official size guide, typically found on the product page or manufacturer's website, which provides measurements to ensure the best fit.
How should I wash this jacket?
Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with a technical cleaner for waterproof fabrics. Do not use fabric conditioner or biological detergents. Allow to drip dry naturally and do not tumble dry or iron.
Will the waterproofing last a long time?
The Hydrafort technology provides durable waterproofing. However, with regular wear and washing, the outer DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may eventually diminish. You can restore it using a suitable re-proofing product.
Troubleshooting
Jacket appears to be losing its waterproof effectiveness.
This can happen over time due to dirt buildup or DWR (Durable Water Repellent) wear. First, try washing the jacket according to the care instructions with a technical wash. If water still soaks in, consider applying a re-proofing treatment designed for waterproof clothing.
Unpleasant odor from the jacket.
Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing. If an odor persists, wash the jacket thoroughly as per care instructions. For stubborn odors, a specialized outdoor gear cleaner might be necessary.
Jacket feels stiff or uncomfortable after washing.
Avoid using fabric softeners or harsh detergents as they can negatively affect the fabric and its waterproof coating. A gentle cycle with appropriate technical wash should keep the fabric supple. Ensure thorough rinsing to remove all detergent residue.

Care and Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and continued performance of your jacket's waterproofing, proper care is essential:
- Washing: Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with a technical wash specific for waterproof fabrics. Avoid using biological detergents or fabric conditioners, as these can degrade the waterproof coating.
- Drying: Drip dry naturally away from direct heat. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can damage the fabric's integrity and waterproof properties.
- Ironing: Do not iron.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Ensure the jacket is fully dry before storing to prevent mildew.
- Re-proofing: Over time, the durable water repellent (DWR) finish may wear off. If you notice water soaking into the fabric rather than beading, you may need to re-proof the jacket using a spray-on or wash-in re-proofing product designed for waterproof outerwear.
