Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Using your Regatta Puddle IV Waterproof Puddle Suit is straightforward:
- Choose the Correct Size: Ensure you have selected the appropriate size for your child (e.g., size 4 for this variant). A well-fitting suit allows for layering underneath and provides maximum freedom of movement.
- Layer Appropriately: Dress your child in their regular clothes or desired layers underneath the puddle suit. The suit is designed to be an outer protective shell.
- Don the Suit: Guide your child's arms and legs into the suit. Most puddle suits feature a central zip for easy entry and exit.
- Secure Fastenings: Zip up the main closure and ensure any storm flaps are properly secured. The grown-on hood is ready for use as needed.
Compatibility
- Layering: This suit is designed to be worn over everyday clothing. Adjust the layers underneath based on the ambient temperature to ensure your child remains comfortable, not too hot or too cold.
- Activities: Perfect for any outdoor activity where protection from rain and mud is needed, including hiking, gardening, school trips, and general outdoor play.
Care Instructions
Proper care will maintain the performance and longevity of your puddle suit:
- Cleaning: After use, wipe down muddy areas with a damp cloth. For a full wash, follow care label instructions. Generally, machine wash at a low temperature (e.g., 30°C or 40°C) with a mild detergent. Info needed: [Specific washing instructions from garment label].
- Avoid Fabric Softeners: Do not use fabric conditioners, as they can degrade the waterproof and breathable membranes and DWR finish.
- Drying: Hang to air dry away from direct heat. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can damage the waterproof coating.
- Storage: Ensure the suit is completely dry before storing it to prevent mildew. Store in a cool, dry place.
