Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
Your Regatta Kids Stormbreak Waterproof Jacket comes ready to wear. Simply unpack it and ensure the hood is properly adjusted for your child's head if needed.
Compatibility
This jacket is designed as a waterproof outer shell. It is highly compatible with:
- Base Layers: Wear over t-shirts or thermal tops.
- Mid-Layers: Perfect for layering over fleeces, jumpers, or hoodies for added warmth in cooler weather.
- Outdoor Trousers: Pairs well with waterproof or quick-drying trousers for head-to-toe protection.
Care Instructions
Proper care will maintain the jacket's waterproof performance and extend its lifespan.
- Washing: Machine wash cold (ideally 30°C or lower) on a gentle cycle. Close all zippers and fasteners before washing. Use a technical wash for waterproof garments or a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can impair the waterproof finish.
- Drying: Hang to air dry away from direct heat. Do not tumble dry. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing it excessively to maintain the integrity of the fabric.
- Reproofing: Over time, the durable water repellent (DWR) finish may wear off. If water no longer beads on the surface, consider reproofing with a suitable DWR treatment specifically designed for waterproof outerwear. (Info needed: Specific instructions on reproofing frequency or recommended products if available from manufacturer).
Always refer to the care label inside the jacket for the most accurate and specific instructions. (Info needed: Specific care label instructions not provided in product data).
