Regatta Kids Stormbreak Waterproof Jacket - Black - 9-10 Years

The Regatta Stormbreak is a waterproof shell jacket and does not provide inherent insulation. For cold weather, it should be worn over warm mid-layers like fleeces or sweaters to provide warmth.

The jacket is made from 100% Polyester. Machine wash according to the care label, typically at 30°C. Avoid fabric softeners as they can impair waterproofing. Air dry or tumble dry on a low setting.

The product description focuses on its core waterproof features. While many jackets include hand pockets, specific details on the number or type of pockets are not provided for this model. Info needed: Confirm presence/absence of pockets.

Hydrafort is Regatta's proprietary waterproof and windproof fabric technology, specifically engineered to provide reliable protection against rain and wind, keeping the wearer dry and comfortable in wet conditions.

The jacket features a 'grown-on hood,' meaning it is an integral part of the jacket's design and is not removable.

While Hydrafort fabric provides excellent waterproof protection, its primary focus is on keeping rain out. For intense, high-output activities, specialized breathable waterproof fabrics might offer more advanced ventilation.

This specific variant of the Regatta Kids Stormbreak Waterproof Jacket is designed for children aged 9-10 years.

The jacket's DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may need reactivating or replenishing. Wash the jacket with a technical cleaner designed for waterproof outerwear and consider applying a re-proofing treatment.

Ensure you follow the care instructions precisely, avoiding harsh detergents or excessive heat during drying. A gentle wash cycle and air drying can help maintain the fabric's integrity and supple feel.

When in doubt, consider sizing up. This will allow for comfortable layering underneath and ensure the jacket's intended longer length provides adequate coverage as your child grows.
