Regatta Kids Stormbreak Waterproof Jacket - Blue - 7-8

No, the Regatta Kids Stormbreak is a waterproof shell jacket, designed primarily for rain protection. It does not provide significant insulation for warmth. For cold weather, it's recommended to wear warm layers underneath, such as a fleece or thermal top.

This specific variant of the Regatta Kids Stormbreak Waterproof Jacket is sized for children aged 7-8 years old. Other sizes and variants may be available.

The jacket is made from durable polyester, which contributes to its waterproof properties and overall resilience against wear and tear.

Yes, you can machine wash the jacket. Use cold water (30°C/85°F) and a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach, as these can damage the waterproof coating. Air drying is recommended, or tumble dry on low heat.

Info needed: The product description does not specify if this particular jacket has pockets. Please refer to product images or packaging for confirmation.

Info needed: The product description mentions a 'protective hood' but does not specify if it is adjustable or removable. It is typically a fixed hood design for simplicity and robust protection.

The jacket features Regatta's Hydrafort technology, providing durable waterproof protection. With proper care, this coating will last. If water stops beading on the surface, you can restore its effectiveness with a DWR re-proofing product designed for waterproof outerwear.

First, check for any visible tears or punctures. If none, the jacket's durable water repellent (DWR) coating might need re-activating or re-applying. Wash the jacket following care instructions, then consider using a spray-on or wash-in DWR re-proofer for waterproof fabrics.

Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. Avoid forcing it. Clean any dirt or debris from the zipper teeth. A small amount of zipper lubricant (like a silicone spray or graphite from a pencil) can help. Ensure the fabric lining isn't caught in the zipper.

This usually indicates improper drying or storage. Wash the jacket according to care instructions, ensuring to use a suitable technical wash if available. Make sure it is completely air-dried before storing in a well-ventilated area.

The elastic in the cuffs may have lost some of its stretch over time. This is a common wear-and-tear issue. Unfortunately, this is not easily repairable without professional alteration. Consider if the jacket still meets performance expectations in light rain.
