Setup and Compatibility
The Regatta Kids Stormbreak Waterproof Jacket is designed for straightforward use. Simply have your child wear it over their regular clothing. The size 2-3 UK variant is specifically tailored for toddlers and young children within that age range. Ensure sufficient space for layering underneath if required for warmth. It is compatible with a wide range of children's outdoor and casual wear.
Care and Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and continued performance of your jacket's waterproofing, proper care is essential:
- Washing: Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with a technical wash specific for waterproof fabrics. Avoid using biological detergents or fabric conditioners, as these can degrade the waterproof coating.
- Drying: Drip dry naturally away from direct heat. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can damage the fabric's integrity and waterproof properties.
- Ironing: Do not iron.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Ensure the jacket is fully dry before storing to prevent mildew.
- Re-proofing: Over time, the durable water repellent (DWR) finish may wear off. If you notice water soaking into the fabric rather than beading, you may need to re-proof the jacket using a spray-on or wash-in re-proofing product designed for waterproof outerwear.
