FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

No, this jacket is a waterproof shell designed to keep rain out, not to provide significant warmth. For very cold weather, you will need to layer it over insulating garments like a fleece or a down jacket.

How do I clean the jacket to maintain its waterproofing?

Wash the jacket according to the care label, typically at 30°C, using a non-biological detergent or a specialized technical wash for waterproof clothing. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach, as these can damage the waterproof coating. Air dry the jacket.

What is 'Hydrafort fabric'?

Hydrafort is Regatta's proprietary fabric technology designed to be waterproof and windproof, offering durable protection against the elements while remaining breathable enough for comfortable wear.

Can this jacket be tumble dried?

It is not recommended to tumble dry this jacket. High heat can damage the waterproof coating and the integrity of the fabric. Always air dry away from direct heat.

How do I know what size to buy for my child?

We recommend checking the Regatta sizing guide, which usually correlates age groups with specific sizes. If your child is between sizes or you plan on heavy layering, consider sizing up.

Is the hood detachable?

The product description states it has an 'integrated hood', which typically means it is permanently attached and not detachable.

Troubleshooting

Jacket appears to be less waterproof than before.

This is often due to the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating wearing off or being compromised by dirt or detergent residue. Try cleaning the jacket with a technical wash designed for waterproof garments, and if the issue persists, re-apply a suitable re-proofing treatment.

Elasticated cuffs feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure the jacket is the correct size for your child. While elasticated cuffs are designed to be snug to keep out elements, they should not be uncomfortably tight. If discomfort persists, consider sizing up or ensuring layers underneath are not too bulky.

Jacket feels clammy or less breathable inside.

Polyester waterproof jackets can sometimes feel less breathable, especially during high activity or in humid conditions. This is typical for a shell jacket. Ensure your child isn't overdressed underneath, and consider materials like merino wool or synthetic wicking fabrics for base layers to manage moisture.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reliable waterproof protection in wet conditions
  • Durable material withstands active use
  • Lightweight and comfortable for children
  • Easy to clean and maintain
  • Integrated hood offers instant head coverage

Cons

  • Provides no inherent warmth; layering is essential in cold weather
  • Limited breathability (common for waterproof polyester)
  • Elasticated cuffs might be too snug for some children

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

There is no special setup required for the Regatta Kids Stormbreak Waterproof Jacket. Simply ensure your child wears appropriate layers underneath for warmth, depending on the weather conditions, and they are ready to go.

Compatibility

This jacket is designed for kids and is compatible with a wide range of children's clothing. It works best as an outer shell layer. For colder climates, layer it over:

  • Fleece jackets
  • Insulated mid-layers
  • Sweaters or long-sleeved tops

Ensure the size chosen allows for comfortable layering without restricting movement.

Care Instructions

Proper care will maintain the jacket's waterproof properties and extend its lifespan. Always refer to the care label for specific instructions, but generally:

  • Washing: Machine wash at a low temperature (e.g., 30°C) with a mild detergent. Avoid using biological detergents or fabric conditioners, as these can impair the waterproofing.
  • Drying: Air dry away from direct heat. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can damage the waterproof coating.
  • Re-proofing: Over time, the durable water repellent (DWR) finish may wear off. If you notice water soaking into the fabric rather than beading off, you can re-proof the jacket using a spray-on or wash-in re-proofing product designed for waterproof outerwear.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
