Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Splat II Waterproof Puddle Suit is an essential outer layer designed for active children who love outdoor play regardless of the weather. This unisex suit provides excellent protection against wind and rain through its waterproof, windproof, and taped-seam construction while maintaining comfort with a fleece lining and breathable fabric. While the suit excels at keeping kids dry and warm, the all-over animal print design may be more suited for casual play rather than formal settings, and the fixed sizing requires careful checking against your child's measurements to ensure a proper fit.

FAQs
Is this suit suitable for heavy snow?
It is waterproof and insulated, making it great for light snow and slush, though it is primarily designed for wet, rainy conditions.
Does the hood detach?
No, the Regatta Splat II features a grown-on (fixed) hood.
Can I tumble dry the suit?
No, tumble drying is not recommended as the heat can damage the waterproof coating and fleece lining.
What does 'taped seams' mean?
Taped seams mean that the stitching holes where panels are joined have been covered with a waterproof tape to prevent water from leaking through.
Is the size 4 suitable for a 4-year-old?
It is designed to fit a standard UK size 4 child, but we recommend measuring your child's height and chest to ensure the best fit.
Troubleshooting
Water is soaking through the fabric
The DWR finish may have worn off; apply a waterproof re-proofer treatment to the outer fabric.
Zip is sticking or hard to pull
Check for fabric caught in the teeth or debris; wipe the zip track with a clean, damp cloth and ensure it is free of mud.
Child feels cold while wearing the suit
Ensure appropriate layering underneath; while the suit is insulated, it is best worn over thermal base layers for very low temperatures.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep the Splat II in top condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can degrade the DWR coating.
- Drying: Air dry naturally. Avoid tumble drying or direct heat sources like radiators, as these can damage the waterproof membrane.
- Re-proofing: Over time, the DWR finish may wear off. You can restore the water-repellency by applying a wash-in or spray-on reproofer specifically designed for technical outdoor gear.
- Storage: Ensure the suit is completely dry before storing it in a cool, dark place to prevent mold or mildew growth.
