Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Kids Hillpack Hooded Jacket is designed for children needing a lightweight, practical, and water-repellent outer layer. Its key benefit is providing protection from light rain and wind while being made from recycled materials. A potential consideration is its suitability for heavy downpours due to its lightweight DWR finish. This jacket features a quilted design, full zip fastening, a grown-on hood with elasticated detailing, and two zipped side pockets.

FAQs

What is the main benefit of the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish?

The DWR finish helps water bead up and roll off the fabric surface, providing protection against light rain and splashes. It does not make the jacket fully waterproof.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The jacket is lightweight and designed for transitional weather or as a layering piece. For very cold conditions, additional warm layers underneath would be necessary.

How should I clean the jacket?

It can be machine washed at 30°C with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach, ironing, and dry cleaning. Tumble dry on low or line dry.

What does 'Made from Recycled Materials' mean?

It means that the polyester used to create the jacket has been sourced from recycled materials, reducing waste and environmental impact.

Can this jacket be worn by boys and girls?

Yes, the jacket is designed as unisex, making it suitable for both boys and girls.

What is the purpose of the stretch binding on the cuffs and hem?

The stretch binding helps to create a snug fit, preventing wind and cold from entering the jacket and keeping the sleeves and hem securely in place.

How many pockets does the jacket have?

The jacket features two zipped side pockets for convenient storage.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is not shedding water effectively.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Reapply a suitable DWR treatment according to the product instructions.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to free it. If it persists, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.

Elasticated hood or cuffs feel loose.

The elasticity may have reduced due to wear. This is a natural consequence of use and cannot typically be repaired. Ensure the garment is cared for according to instructions to prolong its life.

Stains on the jacket.

For minor stains, try spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher stains, follow the machine washing instructions provided.
