Full details

This guide is for parents and guardians looking for a lightweight, warm, and water-repellent jacket for children aged between 5-13 years. The Regatta Junior Hooded Hillpack offers excellent insulation without bulk, making it ideal for school, everyday wear, and outdoor adventures.

FAQs

What age range is this jacket suitable for?

The 'Junior' sizing typically covers ages from 5 years up to 13 years. Please check the specific size guides for the most accurate fit.

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, the jacket has a water-repellent finish, which means it can resist light rain or splashes. It is not fully waterproof and will not protect against heavy downpours without an additional waterproof outer layer.

How should I clean the jacket?

Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with a small amount of liquid detergent. Do not use fabric softener. Tumble dry on a low heat setting with tennis balls.

Can I wear this in very cold winter weather?

While it provides good warmth for its weight, it is best suited as a mid-layer in very cold conditions. For extreme cold, layering with a fleece and a windproof or waterproof outer jacket is recommended.

What does 'Feather Free' insulation mean?

'Feather Free' indicates that the jacket uses premium synthetic down insulation instead of real feathers, making it a good option for those with allergies and ensuring consistent warmth even when damp.

How do I make the water-repellent finish last longer?

Avoid using fabric softeners when washing. After several washes, you can restore water repellency by applying a DWR re-proofer treatment suitable for outdoor clothing.

Are there any internal pockets?

The description mentions two concealed zip hand pockets on the exterior. There are no internal pockets specified.

Troubleshooting

Jacket not as warm as expected.

Ensure the jacket is properly layered. For colder weather, add a fleece or thermal base layer underneath. Check that all zips are fully closed and the hood, cuffs, and hem are snug.

Water repellency seems reduced.

This can happen with wear and washing. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and consider applying a suitable DWR re-proofer spray or wash-in treatment. Avoid fabric softener during washing.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to use.

Ensure the fabric around the zipper is clear. Gently pull the zipper while holding the fabric taut. Lubricate the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil or a small amount of wax if necessary.

Insulation appears lumpy after washing.

Place the jacket in a tumble dryer on a low heat setting with clean tennis balls. This helps to break up any clumps and redistribute the synthetic insulation evenly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Very lightweight and comfortable for active children.
  • Effective at retaining body heat without being bulky.
  • Water-repellent finish is practical for everyday use.
  • Easy to pack and carry as an extra layer.
  • Good visibility in dim light due to reflective trim.

Cons

  • May not be warm enough for very cold or freezing temperatures on its own.
  • The water-repellent finish may diminish over time with wear and washing.
  • Printed name labels (up to age 8) may fade or wear off with frequent washing.
  • Only two external pockets.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This jacket requires no setup. It is ready to wear straight out of the packaging.

Compatibility: The Junior Hooded Hillpack is designed as a standalone jacket or a layering piece. It pairs well with base layers for added warmth and can be worn under a waterproof outer shell in wet or very cold conditions.

Care Instructions: To maintain the jacket's performance:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle.
  2. Detergent: Use a small amount of liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can affect the water-repellent finish and insulation.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with tennis balls to help restore loft to the insulation. Ensure the jacket is fully dry before storing.
  4. Re-proofing: For enhanced water repellency after several washes, consider using a spray-on or wash-in re-proofer suitable for synthetic outerwear.
