Full details
The Regatta Kielder IX Hybrid Jacket is designed for active children facing unpredictable weather. Its key benefit is offering versatile protection, warmth, and freedom of movement, making it ideal for outdoor adventures. A potential consideration is that while water-repellent, it is not fully waterproof. This jacket combines durable polyamide panels with water-repellent finishes and Extol Stretch inserts for ease of movement. It features lightweight synthetic down insulation for warmth, elasticated trims for a snug fit, two zipped pockets, and reflective details for safety. A name label is included for easy identification on sizes up to 8 years.

FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
The Regatta Kielder IX Hybrid Jacket features a water-repellent finish, which helps to repel light rain and moisture. It is not fully waterproof, so for prolonged or heavy rain, a dedicated waterproof jacket would be more suitable.
What type of insulation does it use?
It uses lightweight Warmloft synthetic down insulation. This provides excellent warmth without adding significant bulk and is easily compressible for packing.
How should I clean the jacket?
Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Do not bleach. Tumble dry on a low heat setting or air dry. Do not iron.
What ages is the name label included for?
A name label is printed inside the jacket for easy identification on sizes up to 8 years.
Can this jacket be worn in very cold weather?
For very cold weather, this jacket is best used as part of a layering system. Wear it over thermal base layers for added warmth. The synthetic insulation provides good warmth for its weight.
What are the benefits of the Extol Stretch inserts?
The Extol Stretch inserts are placed in areas that require more movement, such as the side panels and underarms. They allow for a greater range of motion, making the jacket comfortable during active play and sports.
Are there any reflective elements for safety?
Yes, the jacket includes a reflective trim to enhance visibility in low-light conditions, which is a useful safety feature for outdoor activities.
Troubleshooting
Jacket does not seem warm enough.
Ensure the jacket is layered appropriately over base layers for added warmth. Check that all zippers and elasticated trims are secured to prevent drafts.
Water droplets are soaking through the fabric.
The jacket has a water-repellent finish, not a fully waterproof coating. For heavy or prolonged rain, a waterproof outer layer is recommended. The water repellency can be refreshed with appropriate fabric care products.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to close.
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If necessary, apply a small amount of wax or a graphite pencil lead to the zipper teeth.
Elasticated cuffs feel too tight.
The elasticated cuffs are designed for a snug fit to keep out cold air. If they feel restrictive, ensure the jacket size is correct. The fabric may loosen slightly with wear.
