Regatta Kids Stormbreak Waterproof Jacket - Blue - 9-10

The Regatta Kids Stormbreak Jacket is primarily a waterproof and windproof shell. It offers no inherent insulation. For colder winter conditions, it is essential to layer warm clothing, such as a fleece or thermal top, underneath the jacket.

Info needed: The product description does not specify whether this jacket includes pockets.

Hydrafort is Regatta's performance fabric technology designed to be waterproof and windproof. It provides a reliable barrier against rain and wind, keeping the wearer dry and comfortable in challenging weather conditions.

Yes, you can machine wash the jacket in cold water (up to 30°C) with a mild detergent. Remember to avoid fabric softeners and do not tumble dry; air dry only.

The '9-10' size refers to the UK children's sizing for ages 9 to 10 years old. It's recommended to consult a sizing chart for precise measurements to ensure the best fit for your child.

While the `Hydrafort` fabric provides waterproofing, the product description does not specify a breathability rating. Typically, polyester shell jackets offer basic breathability suitable for general outdoor activities, but may not be designed for high-exertion sports.

Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt can affect waterproofing. If the outer fabric appears to be absorbing water rather than repelling it, the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish might need re-application. Use a DWR re-proofing product suitable for waterproof garments, following its specific instructions.

The hood is designed to be pulled up for protection. Ensure it is fully extended over the head. As it is an integrated hood, there are no adjustment toggles. Consider wearing a warm hat underneath for a snugger fit if necessary.

The cuffs are elasticated for a secure fit to keep out elements. While not adjustable, this design is intended to provide a universal fit for the size. If consistently too tight or loose, double-check the jacket sizing.
