FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The Regatta Stormbreak is a waterproof shell jacket and does not provide inherent insulation. For cold weather, it should be worn over warm mid-layers like fleeces or sweaters to provide warmth.

How do I wash the jacket?

The jacket is made from 100% Polyester. Machine wash according to the care label, typically at 30°C. Avoid fabric softeners as they can impair waterproofing. Air dry or tumble dry on a low setting.

Does this jacket have pockets?

The product description focuses on its core waterproof features. While many jackets include hand pockets, specific details on the number or type of pockets are not provided for this model. Info needed: Confirm presence/absence of pockets.

What does 'Hydrafort fabric' mean?

Hydrafort is Regatta's proprietary waterproof and windproof fabric technology, specifically engineered to provide reliable protection against rain and wind, keeping the wearer dry and comfortable in wet conditions.

Is the hood removable?

The jacket features a 'grown-on hood,' meaning it is an integral part of the jacket's design and is not removable.

Is the jacket breathable?

While Hydrafort fabric provides excellent waterproof protection, its primary focus is on keeping rain out. For intense, high-output activities, specialized breathable waterproof fabrics might offer more advanced ventilation.

What age group is this particular jacket for?

This specific variant of the Regatta Kids Stormbreak Waterproof Jacket is designed for children aged 9-10 years.

Troubleshooting

Water isn't beading on the surface anymore.

The jacket's DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may need reactivating or replenishing. Wash the jacket with a technical cleaner designed for waterproof outerwear and consider applying a re-proofing treatment.

Jacket feels stiff or loses its shape after washing.

Ensure you follow the care instructions precisely, avoiding harsh detergents or excessive heat during drying. A gentle wash cycle and air drying can help maintain the fabric's integrity and supple feel.

My child is between sizes.

When in doubt, consider sizing up. This will allow for comfortable layering underneath and ensure the jacket's intended longer length provides adequate coverage as your child grows.
