FAQs

What does Isolite 10000 mean?

Isolite 10000 refers to Regatta's waterproof and breathable fabric technology. '10000' typically indicates a hydrostatic head of 10,000mm (meaning it can withstand 10,000mm of water before it starts to leak) and a breathability rating of 10,000g/m²/24 hours (how much moisture vapor can pass through the fabric in 24 hours). This makes it highly waterproof and very breathable for active use.

Is this puddle suit suitable for very cold weather?

The Puddle IV suit is designed primarily for waterproof and breathable protection, not insulation. For very cold weather, you will need to layer warm clothing (like fleece or wool) underneath the suit to keep your child warm. It acts as an excellent outer shell against wet conditions.

Can my child wear this suit over their regular clothes?

Yes, absolutely! This suit is designed to be worn as an outer layer over your child's everyday clothing, providing full waterproof protection without needing to change outfits.

How do I ensure the suit remains waterproof over time?

Follow the specific care instructions, especially using a pure soap or technical wash designed for waterproof garments, and tumble drying on a low setting to reactivate the DWR finish. Avoid fabric softeners and harsh detergents. Periodically, you might need to re-apply a DWR treatment spray if water stops beading effectively.

What age range is the 3-4 Years size suitable for?

The 3-4 Years size is designed for children typically aged between three and four years old. For the best fit, we recommend consulting Regatta's specific size chart if available, as children's sizes can vary.

Is the hood removable?

The hood on this model is described as 'Grown-on Hood', which means it is an integral part of the suit's design and is not removable. This ensures continuous head protection during wet play.

Troubleshooting

Suit appears to be losing its waterproof properties.

This is often due to dirt build-up or detergents damaging the DWR finish. Wash the suit following the care instructions with a technical wash (like Regatta Isotex cleaner) and then tumble dry on low to reactivate the DWR. If severely degraded, a DWR re-treatment spray may be needed.

Child feels clammy or too warm inside the suit.

While the suit is breathable, excessive layering underneath in milder weather can cause discomfort. Adjust base layers to suit the temperature. Ensure the suit is clean, as dirt can block pores and reduce breathability.

Stains, especially mud, are difficult to remove.

Rinse off fresh mud promptly with cold water. For stubborn stains, pre-treat with a small amount of pure soap before washing. Avoid harsh stain removers that can damage the fabric's waterproof coating.

Reflective trim seems less effective.

Ensure the reflective trim is clean and free from dirt or mud. Gentle cleaning with a damp cloth can restore its visibility. Avoid harsh scrubbing that could damage the reflective material.

Zipper snags or sticks.

Check for fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the fabric away and try to move the zipper. If it's consistently stiff, a small amount of zipper lubricant (designed for outdoor gear) can help, but avoid oily household lubricants.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof protection for active outdoor play.
  • Breathable material prevents overheating and discomfort.
  • All-in-one design offers full coverage from head to ankle.
  • Enhanced safety with reflective trim for better visibility.
  • Durable construction designed to withstand energetic children.
  • Easy to layer over clothing for varied weather conditions.

Cons

  • Requires specific washing and care instructions to maintain waterproof properties.
  • Not insulated, so additional layers are needed for warmth in colder temperatures.
  • Info needed: May have limited stretch, potentially impacting ease of movement for some activities.
  • Info needed: Zippers/fasteners could be challenging for very young children to operate independently.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Putting on the Regatta Puddle IV is straightforward. Simply help your child step into the suit and secure the main zipper or fasteners. The elasticated waist and cuffs are designed for a snug fit. We recommend layering appropriate clothing underneath based on the weather conditions, as the suit itself is not insulated for warmth.

Compatibility

This Puddle Suit is designed for kids in the 3-4 years age group. It features a unisex design and is suitable for both boys and girls. The material is 100% Polyamide (outer shell) and includes a Polyester mesh lining in the hood. Available in Blue, it complements a range of outdoor outfits.

Care Instructions

Proper care is crucial for maintaining the waterproof and breathable properties of your Regatta Puddle Suit. Follow these guidelines carefully:

  • Washing: Cool machine wash using a dedicated Regatta Isotex cleaner or pure soap. Avoid conventional detergents as they can degrade waterproof finishes.
  • Bleaching: Do not bleach.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low setting. High heat can damage the waterproof coating.
  • Ironing: Cool iron only.
  • Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
  • Preparation: Close all fasteners (zippers, snaps, velcro) before washing and drying to prevent damage.
  • Separation: Wash dark colours separately.
  • Storage: Store the suit away from direct sunlight to preserve fabric integrity and colour.
