FAQs

What does Hydrafort fabric mean?

Hydrafort is Regatta's proprietary fabric technology designed to provide durable and reliable waterproof protection, keeping the wearer dry in wet weather conditions.

Is this jacket breathable?

The Regatta Stormbreak jacket primarily focuses on providing robust waterproof protection. While polyester fabrics offer some natural breathability, specific breathability ratings are not provided, as its main function is to be a dependable waterproof shell.

How do I choose the correct size for my child?

This particular jacket is for children aged 5-6 years. Always refer to the brand's size chart for accurate measurements to ensure the best fit, allowing for comfortable layering underneath.

Can this jacket be worn in very cold weather?

The Stormbreak is a waterproof shell, meaning it provides a barrier against rain and wind but does not offer significant insulation on its own. For very cold weather, it should be worn over warm base layers and mid-layers, such as fleeces or insulated jackets.

Does the jacket have any pockets?

Info needed: The product description does not specify whether this jacket includes pockets. Please check the product images or physical garment for details.

How do I maintain the jacket's waterproof quality?

To maintain waterproofing, follow the care instructions on the garment's label carefully. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the water-repellent finish. Regular gentle cleaning helps preserve the fabric's performance.

Troubleshooting

Jacket seems less waterproof over time

Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt can affect water repellency. If the problem persists after cleaning, refer to care instructions for potential re-proofing if applicable (specific re-proofing instructions not provided by manufacturer, check garment label).

Water is getting in around the cuffs

Verify that the elasticated cuffs are sitting snugly around the wrist. While elasticated, if the jacket size is too large, water may seep in more easily. Consider if a smaller size might be more appropriate if the fit is consistently loose.

Child feels cold despite wearing the jacket

The Stormbreak is a shell jacket designed for waterproofing, not insulation. Ensure your child is wearing appropriate warm layers (e.g., fleece, jumper) underneath for cold weather conditions.

Care Instructions

Proper care will maintain the jacket's waterproof properties and extend its lifespan.

> Info needed: Always refer to the specific care label inside the garment for the most accurate washing and drying instructions. General care for polyester waterproof jackets often includes:

  • Washing: Machine wash cold with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can impair waterproof coatings.
  • Drying: Drip dry or tumble dry on a low heat setting if recommended on the label. Avoid high heat.
  • Ironing: If necessary, iron on a very cool setting, avoiding any printed areas or waterproof coatings.
  • Bleach/Dry Cleaning: Do not bleach or dry clean, as these can damage the fabric's waterproof integrity.
