FAQs

Is this puddle suit suitable for cold weather?

The puddle suit is a waterproof and breathable outer layer, not an insulating garment. For cold weather, you will need to layer warm clothing underneath, as it does not provide significant insulation on its own.

How do I clean mud off the suit?

For light mud, simply wipe with a damp cloth. For heavier soiling, machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid scrubbing or using harsh chemicals which can damage the waterproof coating.

Can I tumble dry the puddle suit?

No, do not tumble dry. Tumble drying can damage the waterproof and breathable properties of the fabric and seams. Always air dry the suit away from direct heat.

What do 'taped seams' mean and why are they important?

'Taped seams' means that the stitching lines on the inside of the garment are covered with a waterproof tape. This prevents water from seeping through the tiny needle holes made during construction, ensuring complete waterproofing.

Is the 'Lilac Bloom Unicorn' design only for girls?

No, the Regatta Kids Puddle Suit, including the 'Lilac Bloom Unicorn' design, is created to be unisex and enjoyed by all children who love outdoor play, regardless of gender.

How do I choose the correct size for my child?

Refer to the Regatta sizing guide, which typically provides measurements based on age and height. Consider that the suit is designed to be worn over clothing, so allow for a little extra room. If possible, try on before purchasing.

How durable is the suit for active children?

Regatta puddle suits are designed for active outdoor play and are made with durable, high-quality waterproof fabrics. While they are robust, sharp objects or rough surfaces can cause damage, so always inspect the suit after vigorous play.

Troubleshooting

Child feels damp inside even when it's not raining heavily.

This might be due to condensation from sweat if the child is too warm or wearing non-breathable layers underneath. Ensure they wear appropriate base layers to manage sweat. Also, check if the suit's breathability is compromised by dirt; a gentle wash might restore it.

Water seems to be getting in through the fabric or seams.

Inspect the suit thoroughly for any small tears, punctures, or abrasions that could compromise the waterproofing. Ensure all zippers are fully closed and the hood and cuffs are properly adjusted for a snug fit. If seams appear to be failing, contact customer service for assistance.

Reflective trim appears less bright or effective.

The reflective trim's effectiveness can be reduced by dirt or mud. Gently clean the reflective areas with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Keeps children completely dry during outdoor play in wet conditions.
  • Breathable fabric prevents overheating and clamminess.
  • Increased safety with reflective elements in low light.
  • Durable construction suitable for active and adventurous kids.
  • Easy to wear over existing clothing for quick weather protection.

Cons

  • Offers no inherent warmth, requires layering for cold weather.
  • Sizing can sometimes be tricky; trying on is recommended.
  • Specific designs (like unicorn) may not appeal to all children's preferences.
  • Can be bulky when wet or packed, especially after full day's use.
  • Info needed: May require specific washing to maintain waterproofing over time.

Setup

Simply have your child step into the suit and zip it up. Ensure all zippers are fully closed and the hood is adjusted for a snug fit if needed.

Compatibility

This puddle suit is designed to be worn as an outer protective layer over your child's everyday clothing. Ensure clothing underneath is appropriate for the weather conditions, especially for warmth, as the suit itself does not provide insulation.

Care

  • Washing: Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Do not use fabric softener, as it can impair the waterproof properties of the fabric. Close all zippers before washing.
  • Drying: Air dry away from direct heat. Do not tumble dry. Tumble drying can damage the waterproof coating.
  • Ironing/Bleaching: Do not iron. Do not bleach.
  • Storage: Ensure the suit is completely dry before storing it in a cool, dry place to prevent mildew and maintain its integrity. For light mud, simply wipe with a damp cloth.
