Regatta Puddle IV Waterproof Puddle Suit - Blue, 3-4

This suit provides an excellent waterproof and windproof outer layer. However, it is not insulated. For very cold weather or snow activities, you will need to layer appropriate warm clothing underneath to provide thermal protection.

`Isolite 10000` is Regatta's lightweight waterproof and breathable fabric technology. The '10000' refers to both its hydrostatic head (waterproof rating of 10,000mm, meaning it can withstand a 10-meter column of water) and its breathability rating (10,000g/m²/24 hours, indicating how much moisture vapor can pass through the fabric in a day). This ensures high performance in wet conditions.

No, this is an all-in-one body suit designed to be worn over regular clothing. You will need separate waterproof footwear (like wellies) and gloves or mitts for complete protection of hands and feet.

This specific suit is sized for children aged 3-4 years (UK sizing). We recommend consulting Regatta's size chart if available, and considering your child's current height and build. It's designed to fit over clothing, so ensure there's enough room for comfortable movement.

No, the hood is a 'grown on' hood, meaning it is permanently attached to the suit. This design ensures it won't get lost and provides consistent protection.

Allow any mud to dry completely, then gently brush off as much as possible before washing. This prevents mud from being rubbed further into the fabric during cleaning. Follow the specific washing instructions on the care label.

First, check for any tears or punctures in the fabric or compromised taped seams. If the suit is intact, consider if the child was wearing too many layers, causing excessive perspiration which the suit's breathability, while high, may not fully manage. Ensure all zippers are fully closed.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish might be worn off or soiled. Wash the suit according to care instructions. If the DWR doesn't reactivate after washing and drying, you may need to apply an external DWR treatment product, following the product manufacturer's instructions.

New polyester suits can sometimes feel a bit stiff initially, which should soften with use. Ensure the size is correct for your child; if it's too small, it will restrict movement. Check that underlayers aren't bulky, which can also contribute to a feeling of stiffness.

Gently wipe the reflective trim with a soft, damp cloth to remove any dirt or mud. Avoid scrubbing aggressively or using abrasive cleaners, which can damage the reflective material.
