FAQs
What age range is the Regatta Puddle IV Rainsuit for?
This specific model is sized for children aged 5-6 years, but it is also available in other sizes for younger toddlers and children, as indicated by Regatta Little Adventurers sizing (height approx).
Is the hood detachable?
No, the hood is integral to the design of the rainsuit, meaning it is permanently attached.
What does 'Isolite 5000' mean?
'Isolite 5000' refers to Regatta's technology that provides waterproof and breathable fabric. The '5000' rating indicates that the fabric can withstand 5000mm of water pressure and allows 5000g/m²/24hrs of water vapor to pass through, balancing protection and comfort.
How do I know if I've chosen the right size?
The product description provides approximate height measurements for each size. It's recommended to measure your child and compare it with the sizing guide. The suit is designed to be worn over other clothing, so a slightly looser fit might be preferable for comfort and ease of movement.
Can this rainsuit be worn in cold weather?
Yes, it can be worn in cold weather. The waterproof and windproof nature of the fabric offers protection from the elements. For very cold temperatures, it's advisable to layer appropriate insulating clothing underneath the rainsuit.
How durable is the material?
The rainsuit is made from 100% Polyamide, which is known for its strength and durability, making it suitable for active play and repeated use.
Troubleshooting
Rainsuit is not fully waterproof anymore.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Wash the suit according to care instructions and then tumble dry on a low heat for 20 minutes to reactivate. For further restoration, consider applying a fabric-specific re-proofer.
Child feels clammy or overheated inside the suit.
Ensure the suit is not too tight, as this can impede breathability. Check that the full zip is used appropriately for ventilation. The fabric is designed to be breathable, but excessive exertion in very warm conditions can still lead to some perspiration.
Zip is difficult to fasten or unfasten.
Check for any fabric caught in the zip. Gently try to free any obstruction. You can use a graphite pencil or a small amount of wax to lubricate the zip teeth if it feels stiff.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: This is a one-piece garment, so there is no setup required beyond ensuring it is the correct size for the child.
Compatibility: The suit is designed for unisex children and is compatible with various types of footwear, from wellington boots to trainers, depending on the outdoor activity.
Care Instructions: To maintain the waterproof and breathable qualities of the fabric:
- Washing: Machine wash at 40°C (a warm wash).
- Detergent: Use a liquid detergent, and avoid fabric softeners or bleach. Fabric softeners can clog the pores of the membrane, reducing breathability and water repellency.
- Rinsing: Rinse twice to ensure all detergent is removed.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. Alternatively, hang to dry away from direct heat sources. Once dry, tumble dry for 20 minutes to reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish.
- Re-proofing: For enhanced water repellency, use a spray-on or wash-in re-proofer suitable for waterproof and breathable fabrics after several washes.
