Product Information

Full details

Designed for active kids who love the outdoors, the Regatta Junior Waterproof Changing Robe offers unparalleled warmth, dryness, and privacy for changing in any weather. Its key win is providing a comfortable, weatherproof personal changing room, allowing children to transition from wet to dry quickly and discreetly. A potential caveat is its intentionally oversized fit, which prioritizes changing space but might feel bulky for continuous active wear. This robust robe features waterproof Hydrafort 5000 fabric, a cozy Borg fleece lining, taped seams, and practical pockets, making it an essential companion for post-activity comfort.

FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the Regatta Junior Waterproof Changing Robe?

Its primary purpose is to provide warmth, waterproofing, and a private space for children to change out of wet clothes after activities like swimming or sports, or as a warm, protective layer in cold and wet weather.

Is the robe truly waterproof?

Yes, it features waterproof and windproof Hydrafort 5000 fabric with taped seams and a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish to ensure complete waterproof protection.

How do I choose the right size for my child?

The robe is designed to be oversized to allow for easy changing. You should typically select the size that corresponds to your child's age (e.g., 2-3 for a 2-3-year-old), but always refer to the specific size guide if available for detailed measurements.

Can my child wear this robe as a regular coat?

While primarily designed for changing, its warmth and waterproof features make it suitable as a robust outer layer for staying warm and dry in cold or wet conditions during general outdoor activities. However, its oversized fit is optimized for changing.

What is 'Borg fleece'?

Borg fleece is a type of synthetic fleece known for its thick, soft, and curly texture, similar to sheep's wool. It is highly effective at trapping body heat, providing excellent insulation and comfort.

Does the robe have pockets?

Yes, it features an inner security pocket, perfect for keeping small essentials safe, and two lower pockets for warmth or additional storage.

How should I wash and care for the changing robe?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Do not use fabric softener or bleach. Air dry only; do not tumble dry or iron. Follow the garment's care label for best results and to maintain its waterproof properties.

Troubleshooting

Robe feels too big or bulky for my child.

The robe is intentionally designed with an oversized fit to allow for easy and private changing underneath. If the size feels excessively large, double-check the age/size chart to ensure you have the correct size for your child's age group. For general wear rather than changing, the oversized nature will still provide warmth and comfort.

The robe doesn't seem as waterproof as it used to be.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish can wear off over time or with improper washing. Ensure you are washing the robe according to the care instructions (cold, gentle cycle, no fabric softener). If the DWR is compromised, you can re-apply a DWR treatment spray or wash-in product designed for waterproof outdoor gear.

The fleece lining feels less soft or matted.

Avoid using fabric softeners during washing, as these can clog the fleece fibers and reduce their softness and insulating properties. Follow the recommended washing instructions (cold, gentle cycle, air dry) to help maintain the fleece's loft and comfort.

The robe takes a long time to dry after washing or getting very wet.

Due to its thick, fleece-lined, and waterproof construction, the robe will naturally take longer to air dry than lighter garments. Ensure it is hung in a well-ventilated area, ideally indoors or in a sheltered outdoor space with good air circulation. Gently squeezing out excess water before hanging can also help.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional protection from wet and windy weather due to Hydrafort fabric, taped seams, and DWR finish.
  • Superior warmth and comfort provided by the soft Borg fleece lining.
  • Generous oversized fit allows for private and easy changing in public or outdoor spaces.
  • Integrated hood offers extra defense against the elements.
  • Durable construction designed to withstand regular outdoor use.
  • Convenient pockets for securing small items and keeping hands warm.

Cons

  • Oversized design, while beneficial for changing, may feel bulky for some children during prolonged wear as a regular coat.
  • Polyester material, while excellent for waterproofing, may offer less breathability compared to natural fibers.
  • Can be heavy when wet, which might make it slightly slower to dry completely without proper ventilation.
  • Requires specific care to maintain its waterproof properties and fleece quality.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Your Regatta Junior Waterproof Changing Robe requires no complex setup. Simply unpackage it, and it's ready for immediate use. Its oversized design means it easily slips over existing clothing or swimwear.

Compatibility

This changing robe is designed for unisex use and is suitable for kids. The specific size for this variant is 2-3 years, but other sizes are available. Its roomy fit ensures compatibility over various layers of clothing or directly after water activities.

Care Instructions

Proper care is crucial to maintain the performance and longevity of your changing robe. Always refer to the care label inside the garment for specific instructions.

  • Washing: Machine wash cold (up to 30°C) on a gentle cycle. Use a small amount of mild liquid detergent. Avoid using powder detergents, fabric softeners, or bleach, as these can compromise the DWR finish and fleece lining.
  • Drying: Air dry only. Hang the robe in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can damage the waterproof coating and taped seams.
  • Ironing: Do not iron.
  • Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
  • Storage: Store in a dry, cool place when not in use.
  • Re-proofing: Over time, the DWR finish may wear off. If water no longer beads on the fabric surface, consider using a DWR re-proofing product specifically designed for waterproof outerwear to restore its water-repellent properties.
