Regatta Professional Kids Pro Stormbreak Waterproof Shell Jacket - Black - 9-10

The Regatta Stormbreak Jacket is a shell jacket, providing waterproof and windproof protection, but it does not offer insulation. For very cold weather, we recommend layering it over warm fleeces or thermal tops to ensure your child stays warm.

This specific model is sized for children aged 9-10. Regatta usually provides a size chart with chest measurements; refer to this chart to ensure the best fit. Allow enough room for layering underneath.

No, this jacket should not be tumble dried. Tumble drying can damage the waterproof coating and taped seams. Always hang to air dry away from direct heat.

No, the coordinating Regatta Stormbreak trousers are sold separately. This jacket is for the upper body only.

'Taped seams' means that the stitching lines on the inside of the jacket are sealed with a waterproof tape. This prevents water from penetrating through the tiny needle holes made during the sewing process, significantly enhancing the jacket's overall waterproof performance.

Wash the jacket only when necessary. Excessive washing can reduce the effectiveness of the DWR coating. If it's just dirt, wipe it off with a damp cloth. For thorough cleaning, follow the care instructions, typically using a specialized waterproof fabric cleaner.

The product description specifies an 'integral hood', which means it is permanently attached to the jacket and cannot be detached.

While the Hydrafort 5000 fabric is designed for waterproof and windproof performance, it offers basic breathability. For high-intensity activities, it might not offer the same level of moisture vapor transmission as more advanced, higher-end technical fabrics. It's designed for general outdoor play and school commutes.

Ensure all zippers are fully closed. Check for any tears or punctures in the fabric. The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may need re-application; try cleaning the jacket and then applying a re-proofing spray or wash-in treatment designed for waterproof fabrics.

This can happen if too much detergent or fabric softener was used. Rewash the jacket with a technical wash specifically designed for waterproof outerwear, or simply rinse it thoroughly in clean water without detergent. Air dry completely.

Ensure the jacket is always fully dried after use before storing. If an odor persists, wash the jacket according to care instructions, paying attention to using appropriate detergent and ensuring thorough drying. Airing it out outdoors can also help.
