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.
