FAQs
Is this jacket insulated for warmth?
No, the Regatta Kids Stormbreak is a waterproof shell jacket. It is designed to provide protection from rain and wind. For warmth, you should layer appropriate clothing underneath, such as a fleece or thermal top.
What does Hydrafort technology mean?
Hydrafort is Regatta's proprietary technology that provides durable waterproof and windproof protection. It ensures that the jacket effectively repels water, keeping your child dry and comfortable in wet weather.
Can I machine wash this jacket?
Yes, this jacket is typically machine washable. Always check the care label inside the garment for specific instructions. It's recommended to use a technical wash specifically designed for waterproof outdoor clothing to maintain its performance.
What material is this jacket made from?
The Regatta Kids Stormbreak Waterproof Jacket is made from 100% Polyester, providing durable and waterproof qualities.
How do the elasticated cuffs benefit my child?
The elasticated cuffs are designed to create a snug fit around the wrists. This helps to prevent rain, wind, and splashes from entering the jacket, keeping your child drier and more comfortable during outdoor activities.
What age group is this jacket designed for?
This specific variant of the Regatta Kids Stormbreak Waterproof Jacket is designed for children aged 5-6 years old.
What does the 'longer length' design offer?
The 'longer length' design provides extended coverage, reaching further down the body than standard jackets. This offers enhanced protection against rain and splashes, particularly around the hips and upper legs, which is beneficial during active play.
Troubleshooting
Water appears to be soaking into the fabric, not beading off.
This indicates the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may be worn. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and then apply a suitable DWR re-proofing product.
My child feels cold despite wearing the jacket.
The Stormbreak is a waterproof shell jacket, designed for rain protection, not insulation. Ensure your child is wearing adequate warm layers (e.g., fleece or thermal top) underneath for colder conditions.
The jacket feels stiff or crinkly after washing.
Ensure you are using a technical wash for waterproof garments and avoiding harsh detergents. Air dry completely. Stiffness can sometimes be reduced with gentle wear or another wash with appropriate cleaning agents.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
There is no complex setup required. Simply have your child put on the jacket over their clothing as needed for outdoor protection.
Compatibility
This jacket is designed as an outer shell, making it highly compatible with various layers underneath. For optimal warmth in colder weather, pair it with:
- Base layers: Thermal tops or t-shirts for moisture-wicking.
- Mid-layers: Fleeces or sweaters for insulation.
Care Instructions
Proper care will maintain the jacket's waterproof performance and extend its lifespan. Always refer to the specific care label inside the jacket for detailed instructions.
- Washing: Machine wash at a low temperature (e.g., 30°C or 40°C) using a gentle cycle. Use a technical wash designed for waterproof garments, as regular detergents can impair waterproofing.
- Drying: Air dry the jacket naturally. Avoid tumble drying, as high heat can damage the waterproof coating.
- Ironing: Do not iron.
- Bleaching/Dry Cleaning: Do not bleach or dry clean.
- Re-proofing: Over time, the durable water repellent (DWR) finish may wear off. If water no longer beads on the surface, consider re-proofing the jacket with a suitable DWR treatment spray or wash-in product.
