FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The Regatta Stormbreak is a waterproof shell jacket designed primarily for rain protection. It does not provide insulation for warmth. For very cold weather, it should be worn as an outer layer over insulating garments like fleeces or sweaters.
Does the jacket have any pockets?
The product description does not specify the presence of pockets. Info needed: [Confirm pocket details from product packaging or manufacturer].
What kind of fabric is Hydrafort?
Hydrafort is Regatta's proprietary waterproof and windproof fabric, typically made from polyester, designed to provide reliable protection against the elements.
Can I machine wash this jacket?
Yes, the jacket can be machine washed. Use a cold, gentle cycle and avoid fabric softeners. Always refer to the care label inside the jacket for specific instructions to maintain its waterproof properties.
Is the hood detachable?
The product description states it features an 'integrated hood', which typically means it is permanently attached and not detachable.
What age group is this specific jacket designed for?

Troubleshooting
Water is no longer beading on the surface of the jacket.
This indicates the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may be worn off. Clean the jacket according to care instructions, then re-treat it with a suitable DWR re-proofing spray or wash-in product designed for waterproof garments.
Jacket feels stiff or uncomfortable to wear.
Ensure the jacket is the correct size for your child. A new jacket may feel slightly stiff initially; wearing it a few times will help it become more pliable. Also, avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners during washing, which can affect fabric feel.
Jacket smells musty or unpleasant after use.
Wash the jacket according to the care instructions, ensuring it is thoroughly dried before storage. If the smell persists, a gentle wash with a specialized outdoor gear cleaner might be necessary. Always ensure it's completely dry before putting it away to prevent mildew.

Care
Proper care is essential to maintain the jacket's waterproof properties and durability:
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can impair the waterproof finish.
- Drying: Line dry the jacket completely. Tumble drying is generally not recommended for waterproof garments, as high heat can damage the fabric's integrity or waterproof coating. If absolutely necessary, tumble dry on a very low heat setting for a short period.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Re-proofing: Over time, the durable water repellent (DWR) finish may wear off. If water no longer beads on the surface, consider re-treating the jacket with a DWR spray or wash-in product specifically designed for waterproof fabrics. Follow the product's instructions carefully.
