Setup
There is no complex setup required for the Regatta Stormbreak Waterproof Jacket. Simply put it on over your child's clothing when rain protection is needed. Ensure the hood is adjusted for a comfortable fit if used.
Compatibility
This jacket is designed for kids (unisex) and is compatible with various layering systems. It performs best as an outer shell, worn over base layers or insulating mid-layers depending on the temperature.
Care
Proper care is essential to maintain the jacket's waterproof properties and durability:
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can impair the waterproof finish.
- Drying: Line dry the jacket completely. Tumble drying is generally not recommended for waterproof garments, as high heat can damage the fabric's integrity or waterproof coating. If absolutely necessary, tumble dry on a very low heat setting for a short period.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Re-proofing: Over time, the durable water repellent (DWR) finish may wear off. If water no longer beads on the surface, consider re-treating the jacket with a DWR spray or wash-in product specifically designed for waterproof fabrics. Follow the product's instructions carefully.
