Regatta Kids Stormbreak Waterproof Jacket - Black

No, this is a lightweight waterproof shell jacket designed for rain protection, not insulation. For cold weather, you will need to layer warm clothing, such as a fleece or thermal top, underneath.

Generally, machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, using a mild detergent or a technical wash for waterproof fabrics. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach. Air dry only; do not tumble dry. Always check the specific care label inside the jacket for precise instructions. (Info needed: Specific care label instructions not provided).

The product description does not specify external pockets. It is designed as a practical, lightweight shell. (Info needed: Confirm presence/absence and type of pockets if any).

The Regatta Kids Stormbreak Waterproof Jacket is made from Polyester, utilizing Regatta's Hydrafort fabric technology for waterproofing.

It is designed for reliable waterproof coverage in wet weather. While durable, for extreme conditions or prolonged heavy downpours, professional-grade mountaineering gear might offer higher levels of protection. It is well-suited for general outdoor play, school, and light adventures.

Hydrafort is Regatta's waterproof fabric technology. It provides a waterproof and windproof barrier, ensuring your child stays dry and protected from the elements.

This indicates the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating may be wearing off. Clean the jacket according to care instructions, and if the issue persists, apply a reproofing spray or wash-in treatment designed for waterproof garments.

This is a shell jacket and does not provide insulation. Ensure your child is wearing appropriate warm layers (e.g., a fleece or wool sweater) underneath the jacket, especially in cold weather.

Some waterproof fabrics can initially feel a bit stiff. This often softens with wear and washing. Ensure it's not over-layered or too tight, which can restrict movement and exaggerate stiffness.

Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and warm water to remove any dirt or debris. A small amount of zipper lubricant (wax or silicone-based) can also help smooth operation. Avoid forcing the zipper.
