Regatta Hillpack Hooded Jacket - Green - 10

The Regatta Hillpack Hooded Jacket is lightweight and designed for mild to moderate weather conditions. While it offers protection from wind and light rain, it may not provide sufficient warmth for very cold temperatures without additional layers.

You can re-apply the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish using a spray or wash-in product specifically designed for outdoor clothing. Always ensure the jacket is clean and follow the instructions on the DWR product. Air drying or tumble drying on a low setting is often recommended after application.

A Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish is a coating applied to the outer fabric that causes water to bead up and roll off the surface, rather than soaking into the material. It helps protect against light rain and splashes, keeping the wearer drier and the garment lighter.

While this specific variant is listed as 'Male', the Hillpack jacket style is often unisex. The primary considerations are fit and color preference. Check the size chart to ensure the best fit for your child.

Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean. Tumble dry on a low heat setting. It's best to wash it separately or with similar colors and avoid fabric softeners.

Using recycled materials means that less new raw material is used, reducing waste and the environmental impact associated with producing virgin materials. It’s a more sustainable choice for clothing production.

The reflective trim is designed to enhance visibility in low-light conditions, such as during dawn, dusk, or when it's overcast. This helps to make the child more noticeable to others, improving safety outdoors.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need re-application. Consider using a specialized DWR spray or wash-in treatment suitable for outdoor clothing, following the product's instructions. Ensure the garment is clean before treatment.

Check the zipper for any fabric obstructions. Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Dry thoroughly and try lubricating the zipper with a graphite pencil (rubbing the lead on the teeth) or a specialized zipper lubricant.

This jacket has a water-repellent finish, not a waterproof coating. For prolonged or heavy rain, it may not offer complete dryness. Ensure the hood and cuffs are properly adjusted to minimize water entry. For heavier rain, consider a fully waterproof alternative.
