Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting Started
The Regatta Stormbreak Jacket requires no complex setup. Simply put it on your child! Ensure the hood is adjusted comfortably if needed.
Compatibility
- Layering: This jacket is designed as an outer shell. For warmth, it's compatible with various mid-layers such as fleece jackets, sweaters, or thermal tops. Ensure layers underneath are not too bulky to maintain comfort and mobility.
- Activities: Suitable for a wide range of outdoor activities including walking, playing, school, and light hiking.
Care Instructions
Proper care will maintain the jacket's waterproof properties and extend its lifespan. Always check the specific care label inside the jacket for the most accurate instructions, but general guidelines for polyester waterproof jackets are:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C (cold water) with a small amount of liquid detergent. Use a technical wash designed for waterproof fabrics if possible. Do not use fabric softener or bleach, as these can damage the waterproof coating.
- Rinsing: Ensure the jacket is thoroughly rinsed to remove all detergent residue.
- Drying: It is best to air dry the jacket on a hanger, away from direct heat or sunlight. If tumble drying is permitted by the care label, use a very low heat setting or a 'cool' cycle. Over-drying or high heat can damage the fabric and waterproof finish.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
