FAQs

What age group is this jacket suitable for?

This jacket is designed for kids, with specific sizing available (e.g., 5-6 Years, 7-8 Years, 10 Years). The printed name label inside is designed for children up to age 8.

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket has a water-repellent finish, which is effective against light rain and drizzle. For heavy downpours, a waterproof jacket would be more suitable. This jacket is best used for protection against moderate weather conditions.

How do I best maintain the jacket's warmth and water repellency?

Wash the jacket according to the care instructions (cold, gentle cycle). Tumble dry on low heat to help reactivate the insulation and water repellency. Consider reapplying a DWR treatment periodically to maintain its protective qualities.

Can this jacket be worn as a primary layer or as a mid-layer?

It can be worn as a primary layer in milder, cool conditions or as a versatile mid-layer under a waterproof shell in colder or wetter weather, providing essential warmth without bulk.

What material is the insulation made from?

The insulation is premium synthetic down, also referred to as Feather-Free insulation. This provides excellent warmth and is effective even if it gets slightly damp.

Are there other colours and sizes available?

Yes, the Regatta Junior Hooded Hillpack Quilted Jacket is available in various colours, including Black and Pink, and comes in a range of children's sizes. Please check the product listings for specific availability.

Troubleshooting

Jacket not providing enough warmth

Ensure the jacket is properly zipped up and the hood is adjusted snugly. Check if the synthetic insulation is evenly distributed; if it has clumped, a gentle tumble dry may help redistribute it. Consider layering with additional clothing underneath for colder conditions.

Water beading is less effective

The durable water-repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Re-apply a DWR treatment according to the product's instructions. Wash the jacket according to care instructions, avoiding fabric softeners.

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) or a silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the zipper teeth.

Jacket feels bulky or loses shape after washing

Ensure the washing machine is not overloaded and that the jacket is washed on a gentle cycle. A low-heat tumble dry with clean tennis balls can help fluff the synthetic insulation and restore its loft.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

This jacket requires no assembly. Simply unpack and it's ready for wear. It is designed for unisex children's wear.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine washable. Wash at 30°C (86°F) on a gentle cycle. It is recommended to wash with similar colours.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. This helps to reactivate the insulation and water-repellent properties.
  • Ironing: Do not iron.
  • Bleaching: Do not bleach.
  • Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
  • Maintaining Water Repellency: For best results, re-apply a water-repellent finish after several washes, following the product's instructions. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can impede the performance of the water-repellent treatment and affect the insulation.
