FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The Regatta Stormbreak is designed as a waterproof shell jacket, providing excellent protection from rain and wind but offering no significant insulation. For cold weather, you should layer warm clothing, such as a fleece or jumper, underneath.
How do I ensure the jacket remains waterproof over time?
To maintain waterproofing, regularly clean the jacket according to the care instructions, specifically avoiding fabric softeners. If you notice water no longer beads off the surface, you can restore its water repellency by applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment spray or wash-in product.
Can this jacket be used for hiking or intense sports?
This jacket is well-suited for everyday outdoor activities, school, and light-to-moderate walks in the rain. For intense hiking or sports where high breathability is crucial, you might consider jackets specifically designed for those activities, as this model primarily focuses on waterproofing.
What size should I get for my child if they are between sizes?
As this jacket is for kids and often worn over layers, it's generally recommended to size up if your child is between sizes or if you anticipate needing extra room for growth and layering. This specific variant is sized for ages 9-10.
Is the hood adjustable?
The product description mentions 'Pull up the hood...for extra protection.' It does not specify adjustable toggles or drawstrings, suggesting it is a fixed hood designed for convenient, quick pull-up use.
What is Regatta's Hydrafort technology?
Hydrafort is Regatta's proprietary waterproof and windproof fabric technology. It is designed to offer reliable protection against the elements, keeping you dry and comfortable in wet and windy conditions.
Troubleshooting
Water is soaking into the fabric instead of beading off.
This indicates the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating might be wearing off. Wash the jacket according to care instructions and consider applying a DWR re-proof spray designed for waterproof garments.
Jacket feels stiff or crinkly after washing.
Ensure you are using a mild, non-detergent soap specifically for outdoor gear or a small amount of regular liquid detergent. Avoid using fabric softener or excessive detergent, as residues can affect the fabric's feel and performance. Line dry completely.
Jacket smells musty or unpleasant after use.
Wash the jacket following the care instructions thoroughly, ensuring it is completely dried before storage. If the smell persists, a specialized outdoor gear cleaner designed to remove odors might be needed. Always ensure the jacket is fully dry before folding and storing to prevent mildew.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup

Compatibility

Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your Regatta Stormbreak Waterproof Jacket.
- Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C) with a mild detergent. It is crucial to avoid using fabric softeners as they can impair the jacket's waterproof coating and breathability.
- Drying: Line dry. Do not tumble dry, iron, or dry clean. High heat can damage the waterproof coating and the integrity of the 100% polyester fabric.
- Storage: Store the jacket in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure it is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew or odors.
- Maintaining Waterproofing: If the jacket's water repellency diminishes over time (water no longer beads up), consider re-applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment specifically designed for waterproof fabrics. These are available as sprays or wash-in products.
