Regatta Puddle IV Waterproof Puddle Suit - Pink, 2-3 Years

Isolite 10000 is Regatta's lightweight waterproof and breathable fabric technology. It provides excellent protection against rain and wind while allowing moisture vapor (sweat) to escape, keeping your child dry and comfortable during active play. The '10000' refers to its breathability rating of 10,000g/m²/24 hours.

This specific suit is for ages 2-3 years. Always refer to a detailed size guide provided by the retailer for accurate measurements, as age ranges can vary. Consider if your child will wear thick layers underneath the suit when choosing a size.

The Puddle IV Suit is designed primarily for waterproof and breathable protection against rain and wind. It does not offer significant thermal insulation. For cold weather, we recommend layering warm clothing underneath, such as fleece or thermal wear.

Taped seams mean that all the stitching lines on the inside of the garment have been sealed with a waterproof tape. This is crucial because even though the fabric itself is waterproof, water can still seep through tiny needle holes created during stitching. Taped seams ensure complete waterproof integrity.

The DWR finish helps water bead off the fabric. To maintain it, wash the suit sparingly using a specialized cleaner or pure soap, as instructed. Tumble drying on a low heat can also help reactivate the existing DWR. If the DWR wears off over time, you can reapply it using a DWR re-treatment product designed for waterproof outerwear.

The reflective trim is durable, but its effectiveness can be reduced by excessive abrasion, improper washing, or exposure to harsh chemicals. Following the care instructions will help prolong its lifespan and visibility.

Ensure appropriate layering underneath the suit for the weather conditions. The suit is waterproof and breathable but not insulated. If dampness persists, check for damage or ensure all fasteners are closed. Perspiration can also build up if inner layers are not wicking.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need reactivating or reapplying. Wash the suit according to care instructions (cool machine wash with pure soap/specialized cleaner) and tumble dry on a low setting. If the DWR is worn, consider applying a DWR re-treatment spray suitable for waterproof clothing.

Ensure you are using a specialized cleaner for technical outdoor wear or pure soap, not standard detergent, which can leave residues. For stubborn dirt, pre-treat stains gently before washing. Ensure the suit is thoroughly rinsed.

Check if fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the fabric away and try again. Periodically clean the zipper with a soft brush and apply a zipper lubricant if necessary.
