Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Hillpack Hooded Jacket in Blue is designed for active kids, offering a lightweight and water-repellent layer for outdoor adventures. Its key benefit is protection from light rain and wind, making it ideal for transitional weather. A potential consideration is its lightweight nature, which may require layering for colder conditions. This jacket features a hooded design with elasticated binding, a full zip fastening, and two side zip pockets, all constructed from durable, recycled polyamide with a DWR finish.

FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof or water-repellent?

This jacket features a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, which means it can repel light rain and splashes. It is not fully waterproof and may not withstand prolonged exposure to heavy downpours.

What kind of weather is this jacket best suited for?

It's ideal for mild to cool weather conditions, providing protection against wind and light rain. For colder temperatures, layering with a warm mid-layer like a fleece is recommended.

How do I find the correct size for my child?

Refer to the size chart provided by Regatta or the retailer. Measure your child's chest and height and compare these to the specified measurements for the Kids' UK sizes.

Can the hood be removed?

No, the hood is a 'grown-on' design and cannot be detached from the jacket.

How should I clean the jacket to maintain its water repellency?

Machine wash at 40°C with similar colours, using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Tumble dry on low or air dry. For best results in maintaining DWR, consider using a technical wash product designed for outdoor gear.

Is this jacket suitable for very active children?

Yes, the lightweight and breathable design, along with stretch binding, allows for freedom of movement, making it suitable for active play.

Does this jacket have many pockets?

The jacket features two side pockets, both secured with zips for safe storage of small items.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Ensure the fabric around the zipper is clear. Gently pull the zipper up and down. If stiffness persists, a small amount of graphite from a pencil rubbed on the teeth or a specialized zipper lubricant can help.

Water repellency seems reduced.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need refreshing. Follow the care instructions for washing, and consider using a technical wash product designed for outdoor wear. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can impair water repellency.

Seams are coming apart.

If minor seam separation occurs, a professional repair or careful hand-stitching can often fix it. For significant damage, contact the retailer or manufacturer.

Reflective trim is peeling.

Avoid excessive heat during washing and drying. If the trim begins to peel, it may be possible to carefully re-adhere it using a fabric glue suitable for outerwear, following the glue manufacturer's instructions.
