Regatta Professional Kids Pro Stormbreak Waterproof Shell Jacket - Black - 7-8 Years

The Regatta Kids Pro Stormbreak Jacket is a waterproof and windproof shell. It provides excellent protection from rain and wind but offers no inherent insulation. For very cold weather, it should be worn over warm base and mid-layers, such as a fleece or thermal top.

This specific variant is sized for 7-8 years. Regatta typically provides a size guide with height and chest measurements. It's best to measure your child and compare it to the brand's official size chart to ensure the best fit.

No, this jacket should not be tumble dried. It is recommended to hang it to dry naturally to preserve its waterproof properties and fabric integrity.

The `Hydrafort 5000` fabric provides robust waterproofing. While the factory DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating can diminish over extensive use and washing, the fabric itself and `taped seams` maintain a high level of water resistance. Specialized reproofing sprays can be used to revitalize the DWR if needed.

Yes, the jacket features two lower pockets, which are convenient for children to store small items or keep their hands warm.

No, the jacket has an `integral hood`, meaning it is permanently attached and cannot be detached. This design ensures it's always available when needed.

Ensure the jacket is properly zipped and the hood is up. Check if the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating needs re-application if the fabric is "wetting out." Also, consider if the child is sweating excessively; this jacket is breathable but may not prevent internal condensation during strenuous activity.

Gently try to free any fabric caught in the zipper. If it's consistently sticky, rub a pencil lead or a specialized zipper lubricant along the teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper to prevent damage.

The reflective trim should not lose its properties with normal wear. Ensure it's clean and free from dirt or mud, which can obscure its reflectivity. Wash according to care instructions.
