This guide is for parents and guardians looking for a lightweight yet warm jacket for children aged 7-8 years. The Regatta Junior Hooded Hillpack offers excellent insulation without bulk, making it ideal for everyday wear. A potential caveat is that while water-repellent, it is not fully waterproof.

The jacket provides lightweight insulation suitable for cool to mild weather. For very cold conditions, it is recommended to layer it over a warm fleece or thermal top.
The size 7-8 years is generally suitable for children within that age bracket. It features stretch binding on the hood, cuffs, and hem for a more adaptable fit. Refer to Regatta's size chart for specific measurements if unsure.
The jacket has a water-repellent finish, meaning it will resist light rain and splashes. It is not waterproof and may not provide adequate protection in prolonged or heavy downpours.
Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean. Tumble dry on a low heat setting. Close all zips before washing.
'Feather Free' indicates that the jacket uses premium synthetic down insulation instead of natural down feathers. This provides warmth and loftiness while being hypoallergenic and easier to care for.
The hood is grown-on with elastication to the opening, providing a snug fit without separate adjustment cords.
There are two concealed zip hand pockets located on the sides of the jacket.
The water-repellent finish may have worn off. Consider applying a specific fabric re-waterproofer suitable for synthetic materials after washing and drying, following the product's instructions.
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the slider. Lubricating the zipper with a graphite pencil or a small amount of wax can help.
Ensure the jacket is the appropriate weight for the current temperature. For colder conditions, layer a fleece or thermal base layer underneath. Check that the hood, cuffs, and hem are snug to prevent drafts.
Spot clean minor stains with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher stains, follow the machine washing instructions carefully.
