Full details
This Regatta Childrens/Kids Hillpack Hooded Jacket in Black, size 10, is designed for active children needing lightweight protection from the elements. Its key benefit is its durable water-repellent finish and quilted design, offering comfort and resilience. A potential caveat is that while lightweight, it may not provide heavy insulation for extreme cold.

FAQs
What material is the jacket made from?
The jacket is made from 100% Polyamide and features a 20D denier fabric. It is also made from recycled materials.
Is the hood detachable?
No, the hood is a 'grown-on' hood, meaning it is permanently attached to the jacket.
How should I clean the jacket?
Machine wash at 40°C using a mild liquid detergent. Tumble dry on a low heat setting and iron on a low heat. Ensure all zippers are closed before washing.
Will this jacket keep my child dry in heavy rain?
The jacket has a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, which is effective against light rain or showers. For heavy rain, a waterproof jacket would be more suitable.
What is the benefit of the reflective trim?
The reflective trim enhances visibility in low-light conditions, making it safer for children to be seen when playing outdoors in the early morning or late evening.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
This is a lightweight jacket designed for protection from wind and light rain. For cold weather, it is best used as an outer layer over warmer clothing like fleeces or thermal tops.
What does '37gsm' mean?
GSM stands for 'grams per square meter'. A 37gsm fabric weight indicates that the material is very lightweight, contributing to the jacket's packability and comfort for active use.
Does this jacket have many pockets?
The jacket features two side pockets, both with zip fastenings for secure storage.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stuck
Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper teeth. If necessary, use a graphite pencil tip or a small amount of wax to lubricate the teeth and try again.
Water repellency seems reduced
The DWR finish can wear off over time. Consider re-applying a DWR treatment spray designed for outdoor clothing after washing and drying the jacket according to care instructions.
Jacket feels too thin for cold weather
This jacket is designed for lightweight protection. For colder conditions, layer it over a warmer fleece or insulated mid-layer.
Reflective trim is peeling
Avoid high heat during washing and drying. If peeling occurs, it may be difficult to repair, but ensure care instructions are followed to prevent further damage.
