Product Information

Full details

This Regatta Kids Hillpack Hooded Jacket is designed for active children who need a lightweight and water-repellent outer layer. Its primary benefit is providing protection from light rain and wind while remaining comfortable and easy to pack. A potential caveat is that it is designed for light weather protection and may not be suitable for heavy downpours or extreme cold. Key features include its recycled material construction, durable water-repellent finish, and a grown-on hood with elasticated detailing.

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The Regatta Kids Hillpack Hooded Jacket is a lightweight, quilted layer designed for mild to cool weather. It offers some warmth but is best suited as a mid-layer or for protection against wind and light rain. For extreme cold, additional warm layers would be necessary.

How do I clean the jacket?

You can machine wash the jacket at 40°C on a gentle cycle. Avoid bleach, and tumble dry on a low heat. It's recommended to close zippers before washing and wash separately or with similar colours. Do not dry clean.

What does 'Durable Water Repellent Finish' mean?

A Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish is a coating applied to the fabric that causes water to bead up and roll off the surface. This helps protect the wearer from light rain and splashes, keeping the fabric from becoming saturated.

Can this jacket be worn by both boys and girls?

Yes, this jacket is designed as unisex and is suitable for boys and girls within the specified age range.

What age group is this specific jacket for?

This particular product listing is for children aged 7-8 years.

Are the reflective trims effective at night?

The reflective trim is designed to reflect light from external sources, such as car headlights, making the wearer more visible in low-light conditions and at night. It does not glow in the dark on its own.

What does 'Grown On Hood' mean?

'Grown On Hood' means the hood is permanently attached to the jacket, rather than being detachable.

Troubleshooting

Jacket not repelling water effectively

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Re-apply a DWR treatment suitable for synthetic fabrics after washing and drying the jacket according to care instructions.

Zipper is stiff or stuck

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.

Jacket feels damp inside after wear

This jacket is water-repellent, not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may lead to some moisture penetration. Ensure the jacket is not over-layered with non-breathable clothing, which can trap moisture. For heavier rain, a waterproof jacket is recommended.

Seams are coming apart

Check care label for appropriate repair options. Minor seam repairs can often be done with a needle and thread suitable for outdoor gear. For significant damage, contact customer support.
