Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Junior Hooded Hillpack Jacket is designed for active children who need a warm, lightweight, and protective outer layer for everyday wear and outdoor adventures. Its key benefit is providing excellent insulation without bulk, keeping kids comfortable in cool conditions. A potential caveat is that while water-repellent, it is not fully waterproof, so prolonged heavy rain may penetrate. This jacket features feather-free synthetic insulation, a durable water-repellent finish, and a grown-on hood with elastication for essential protection.

FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, the jacket has a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish, which means it can shed light rain and moisture but is not fully waterproof. For heavy or prolonged rain, a dedicated waterproof jacket would be more suitable.

What type of insulation does it use?

It uses premium synthetic down insulation, often referred to as 'Feather Free', which mimics the warmth of natural down without the weight and is designed to perform even when damp.

How should I wash this jacket?

The jacket can be machine washed at 40°C with similar colours. Avoid using bleach and do not iron. Tumble dry on a low heat setting.

What does 'grown-on hood' mean?

'Grown-on hood' means the hood is permanently attached to the jacket, as opposed to a detachable hood.

Is the jacket suitable for very cold weather?

This jacket is designed for warmth without weight, making it excellent for mild to cool conditions. For extreme cold, layering with additional warm clothing underneath would be recommended.

Can children write their name on the inside?

Yes, there is a printed name label inside the jacket (up to age 8) where a child's name can be written for identification, typically useful for school or group activities.

Are the materials eco-friendly?

Yes, the jacket is made from recycled materials, contributing to a more sustainable approach to clothing production.

Troubleshooting

Jacket not providing enough warmth

Ensure the jacket is layered appropriately over other warm clothing. Check that the hood, cuffs, and hem are sealed to prevent heat loss.

Water not beading on the surface after washing

The durable water-repellent (DWR) finish may have diminished. Consider using a DWR reproofing spray or wash according to product instructions to restore water repellency.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. If the zipper teeth are clean, you can try applying a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a wax-based lubricant to the teeth.

Stains on the jacket

For fresh stains, try to gently wipe them away with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, refer to the care instructions for machine washing.
