FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

The jacket has a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, which means it can withstand light rain and splashes. It is not fully waterproof and may not provide adequate protection in heavy downpours.

What is the primary benefit of the DWR finish?

The DWR finish causes water to bead up and roll off the fabric's surface, helping to keep the wearer dry from light moisture and preventing the fabric from becoming saturated.

Can this jacket be worn in very cold weather?

This is a lightweight jacket. For very cold weather, it is best used as an outer layer over insulating garments like fleece or down jackets.

How do I find the right size?

Please refer to the sizing guide for Regatta children's wear. The 'Size: 7-8' indicates this jacket is intended for children within that age and size range. For detailed measurements, consult the brand's official sizing chart.

Are there other colour options available?

Yes, the Regatta Hillpack Hooded Jacket is available in various colours and sizes. Please check the product listings for available variants.

What does 'Grown On Hood' mean?

'Grown On Hood' means the hood is attached permanently to the main body of the jacket, rather than being detachable.

Why is the jacket made from recycled materials?

Making the jacket from recycled materials helps to reduce waste and lessen the environmental impact associated with textile production. It's part of Regatta's commitment to sustainability.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is not repelling water effectively.

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

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the fabric. You can also apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or wax to the zipper teeth to help it glide smoothly.

Child feels too cold while wearing the jacket.

This jacket is lightweight and water-repellent, not heavily insulated. For colder weather, layer the jacket over a warmer fleece or sweater.

Shrinking after washing.

Ensure you followed the washing and drying instructions. Wash at a low temperature (40°C) and tumble dry on a low heat setting to minimize shrinkage.
