Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Using the Regatta Stormbreak Waterproof Jacket is straightforward. Simply have your child wear it over their regular clothing. Pull up the integrated hood when rain begins to fall for extra protection.
Compatibility:
This jacket functions as an outer protective shell. It is designed to be worn over existing layers of clothing. For colder weather, pair it with fleece jackets or warm sweaters underneath. Its lightweight nature allows for comfortable layering without adding significant bulk. The "Black" colour family makes it compatible with a wide range of outfits.
Care:
Proper care helps maintain the jacket's waterproofing and extends its lifespan.
- Washing: Machine wash cold (up to 30°C) with a mild, non-biological detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can impair the waterproof finish. Close all zips and fastenings before washing.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Hang the jacket to air dry away from direct heat. This helps preserve the integrity of the waterproof coating.
- Ironing: Do not iron.
- Bleaching: Do not bleach.
- Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
- 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 may need to re-proof the jacket with a suitable DWR treatment spray or wash-in product, following the product's instructions.
