FAQs

Is this robe suitable for all seasons?

The waterproof outer and warm Borg fleece lining make this robe excellent for colder, wet weather, and post-water activities in cooler temperatures. It might be too warm for prolonged use in hot summer conditions.

How do I choose the correct size for my child?

The robes are generally sized by age group (e.g., 3-4 years, 5-6 years). Select the size that most closely matches your child's current age for an optimal, comfortably oversized fit.

Can this robe be used for activities other than changing?

Absolutely! Beyond changing, it's also perfect as a warm, waterproof cover-up for spectating sports, camping, beach outings, or simply staying cozy and dry during any outdoor activity.

Does the robe have pockets?

Changing robes typically feature practical pockets for keeping hands warm or storing small essentials. Info needed: [Verify specific pocket features if not explicitly stated in product description].

What is Hydrafort 5000?

Hydrafort 5000 is a branded waterproof and windproof fabric technology developed by Regatta. It's designed to provide reliable protection from the elements, keeping the wearer dry and comfortable.

Is the inner fleece lining removable for easier washing?

No, the Borg fleece lining is integrated into the construction of the robe and is not designed to be removed. The entire robe should be washed according to the care instructions provided.

Troubleshooting

Robe feels too restrictive or small for changing.

The robe is designed to be oversized to facilitate easy changing. If your child finds it restrictive, double-check that you have purchased the correct age-specific size. A size up might provide more room.

Child feels cold or not adequately warm inside the robe.

Ensure the robe is fully zipped (if applicable) and the hood is up, especially in windy or very cold conditions. While highly insulating, extreme temperatures might still require additional base layers underneath.

Water appears to be seeping through the fabric.

Inspect the robe for any visible damage, tears, or excessive wear that could compromise the waterproof barrier. Ensure the robe is clean, as accumulated dirt or oils can sometimes reduce water repellency. Follow care instructions precisely to maintain the integrity of the Hydrafort 5000 coating.

Borg fleece lining feels matted or less soft after washing.

Always wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Tumble drying on a very low heat setting or air drying is recommended. High heat can damage the fleece fibers. Gentle brushing with a soft brush once dry can sometimes help restore loft.

Care Instructions

Proper care is essential to maintain the performance and longevity of your changing robe, especially its waterproof properties and fleece lining.

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Use a mild, non-biological detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or fabric softeners, as they can compromise the waterproof coating.
  2. Bleaching: Do not bleach under any circumstances.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting, or preferably, hang to air dry completely. High heat can damage the waterproof membrane and the fleece fibers.
  4. Ironing: Do not iron.
  5. Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
  6. Storage: Ensure the robe is completely dry before storing it in a cool, well-ventilated area to prevent mildew and odors.
