FAQs
Is this jacket warm enough for winter?
The Regatta Kids Stormbreak Jacket is primarily a waterproof and windproof shell. It offers no inherent insulation. For colder winter conditions, it is essential to layer warm clothing, such as a fleece or thermal top, underneath the jacket.
Does this jacket have any pockets?
Info needed: The product description does not specify whether this jacket includes pockets.
What is Hydrafort fabric?
Hydrafort is Regatta's performance fabric technology designed to be waterproof and windproof. It provides a reliable barrier against rain and wind, keeping the wearer dry and comfortable in challenging weather conditions.
Can I machine wash this jacket?
Yes, you can machine wash the jacket in cold water (up to 30°C) with a mild detergent. Remember to avoid fabric softeners and do not tumble dry; air dry only.
What age is the 9-10 size suitable for?
The '9-10' size refers to the UK children's sizing for ages 9 to 10 years old. It's recommended to consult a sizing chart for precise measurements to ensure the best fit for your child.
Is this jacket breathable?
While the `Hydrafort` fabric provides waterproofing, the product description does not specify a breathability rating. Typically, polyester shell jackets offer basic breathability suitable for general outdoor activities, but may not be designed for high-exertion sports.
Troubleshooting
Jacket doesn't seem to be fully waterproof anymore.
Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt can affect waterproofing. If the outer fabric appears to be absorbing water rather than repelling it, the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish might need re-application. Use a DWR re-proofing product suitable for waterproof garments, following its specific instructions.
The hood keeps falling off my child's head.
The hood is designed to be pulled up for protection. Ensure it is fully extended over the head. As it is an integrated hood, there are no adjustment toggles. Consider wearing a warm hat underneath for a snugger fit if necessary.
Cuffs feel too tight/loose.
The cuffs are elasticated for a secure fit to keep out elements. While not adjustable, this design is intended to provide a universal fit for the size. If consistently too tight or loose, double-check the jacket sizing.

Care Instructions
Proper care will ensure the longevity and continued performance of your jacket:
- Washing: Machine wash cold (up to `30°C`) with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can impair the jacket's waterproofing properties.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Hang the jacket to air dry away from direct heat. This helps preserve the `Hydrafort` coating.
- Ironing: Do not iron.
- Bleaching: Do not bleach.
- Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
Regular cleaning helps maintain the fabric's breathability and waterproof performance.
