The Regatta Stormbreak is a waterproof and windproof shell jacket. While it provides excellent protection from rain and wind, it does not offer inherent insulation. For winter use, it should always be layered over warm clothing like a fleece or thermal top to provide the necessary warmth in cold conditions.
This specific variant is designed for children aged 5-6 years. It's always recommended to consult Regatta's official size guide for precise measurements (chest, height) to ensure the best fit, as children's sizes can vary.
Yes, this jacket can be tumble dried on a low heat setting. However, for optimal care and to help preserve the waterproof coating, air drying is often preferred. Avoid high heat as it can potentially damage the fabric's waterproof properties.
Taped seams mean that a waterproof tape has been applied over the stitching on the inside of the jacket. This is crucial because standard stitching creates tiny holes in the fabric that water could otherwise seep through, compromising the jacket's waterproof integrity. Taped seams ensure complete waterproof protection.
No, the jacket features an `integral hood`, meaning it is permanently attached to the jacket and cannot be detached. This ensures consistent head protection whenever needed.
Hydrafort 5000 is Regatta's proprietary waterproof and windproof polyester fabric. The '5000' typically refers to its hydrostatic head rating of 5000mm, which indicates its high level of water resistance, making it suitable for moderate to heavy rain and snowy conditions.
No, this product includes only the Regatta Professional Kids Pro Stormbreak Waterproof Shell Jacket. Coordinating waterproof trousers are available separately if you wish to purchase a full waterproof set.
Over time, the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating on the fabric's surface can wear off, causing water to 'wet out' instead of beading up. Machine wash the jacket according to the care instructions, then apply a DWR re-proofing spray or wash-in product specifically designed for waterproof outerwear. Ensure the jacket is clean before re-proofing.
This Regatta Stormbreak jacket is a waterproof and windproof shell designed primarily for elemental protection, not insulation. For colder temperatures, ensure your child is wearing appropriate warm layers underneath, such as a fleece jacket or thermal top, to provide the necessary warmth.
The elasticated cuffs are designed to provide a snug fit to keep out wind and water. If they feel too tight, ensure the jacket size is appropriate for your child's age and build. If too loose, this might indicate the jacket is slightly too large, or the elastic has stretched over time. While not adjustable, the elastic is intended to offer a balance of comfort and protection.
There is no complex setup required. The jacket is ready to wear straight out of the packaging. Ensure it fits your child comfortably over their regular clothing.
This jacket is designed for `unisex` `kids` typically aged `5-6` years (based on this specific variant). As an outer shell, it is fully compatible with various base layers and mid-layers, such as fleeces, sweaters, or thermal tops, which can be added underneath for increased warmth in colder conditions. This allows for versatile use across different weather patterns.
To maintain the jacket's performance and extend its lifespan, follow these care guidelines:
