Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Junior Hooded Hillpack Quilted Jacket in Green is designed for active kids who need warmth without bulk. Its key benefit is providing excellent heat retention through lightweight synthetic insulation while offering protection from light moisture with a water-repellent finish. A potential caveat is that the water-repellent finish may diminish over time with heavy use and washing. This jacket is ideal for school, outdoor play, and everyday adventures, featuring a grown-on hood, elasticated trims, and two concealed zip pockets.

FAQs

What age group is this jacket suitable for?

This is a junior jacket, designed for children. The specific size '13 Years' indicates suitability for a child around that age, though fit can vary.

Is the jacket fully waterproof?

No, the jacket has a water-repellent finish, which means it can resist light rain and splashes. It is not fully waterproof and may not provide adequate protection in heavy or prolonged rainfall.

How do I clean the jacket?

The jacket can be machine washed on a gentle cycle at a low temperature (30°C or 40°C) with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. It is best dried on a low heat tumble dry setting, preferably with tennis balls to restore loft.

What does 'Feather Free' insulation mean?

'Feather Free' means the jacket uses premium synthetic down insulation instead of natural down. This provides warmth without using animal products and is often easier to care for.

Can I reapply the water-repellent finish?

Yes, the water-repellent finish can be restored by using a DWR re-proofer spray or wash, available from outdoor gear retailers. Follow the instructions on the re-proofer product.

Is there a hood on this jacket?

Yes, the jacket features a grown-on hood with elastication for a snug fit.

Does the jacket have pockets?

Yes, it has two concealed zip hand pockets for convenient storage.

Troubleshooting

Jacket not providing enough warmth.

Ensure the jacket is layered appropriately over insulating base layers. Check that all zippers and cuffs are closed properly to prevent heat loss. For very cold conditions, consider a heavier outer layer.

Water-repellent finish seems less effective.

The water-repellent finish can diminish over time. Reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment spray designed for outdoor clothing after washing, following the product's instructions. Avoid fabric conditioners during washing.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it remains stiff, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant can be applied to the teeth.

Jacket appears to have lost its loft or fluffiness.

This can happen after washing. Tumble dry the jacket on a low heat setting, ideally with clean tennis balls, to help break up clumps and restore the insulation's loft.

Care Instructions:

  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. It is recommended to add a few clean tennis balls to the dryer to help restore loft to the insulation.
