Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Kielder IX kids' hybrid jacket is designed for active children needing a versatile layer for unpredictable weather. Its key benefit is the combination of water-repellent, insulated panels with flexible stretch inserts for unrestricted movement. A minor caveat is the printed name label is only included up to size 8 years. This jacket offers protection from light rain and wind, provides warmth with its lightweight insulation, and ensures comfort and a secure fit with its stretch binding and zip guard.

FAQs

Is this jacket fully waterproof?

No, the jacket features water-repellent panels, meaning it can withstand light showers and drizzle but is not designed for heavy or prolonged rain.

What kind of warmth does the insulation provide?

The Warmloft insulation is lightweight and synthetic, designed to provide good warmth for cool to mild conditions. It's ideal as a mid-layer or for active use in shoulder seasons.

Can this jacket be worn by both boys and girls?

Yes, the Kielder IX hybrid jacket has a unisex design and is suitable for all children.

How do I find the right size?

Refer to the Regatta size chart, which typically relates chest measurements or age to specific UK sizes for children's clothing.

Is the hood adjustable?

The hood features stretch binding around the opening to provide a snug fit, but it is not adjustable with drawcords.

What are the benefits of the Extol Stretch inserts?

The Extol Stretch inserts are made of a flexible material, usually located under the arms and on the sides, allowing for greater freedom of movement during active play and sports.

Can I wash this jacket in a washing machine?

Yes, the jacket is machine washable at 30°C. Always follow the specific care label instructions for best results.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels damp inside after light rain.

Ensure the jacket was properly zipped and that the hood, cuffs, and hem were snug. This jacket is water-repellent, not fully waterproof, so prolonged exposure to heavy rain may lead to some moisture penetration.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to ease the zipper. If it persists, a small application of wax or lip balm on the zipper teeth can help.

Insulation seems to have clumped after washing.

Ensure the jacket was tumble-dried on a low heat setting with clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help redistribute the insulation. If clumping persists, gently break up the clumps with your fingers.

Reflective trim is peeling off.

Avoid high heat during washing and drying. If minor peeling occurs, consider carefully re-adhering with a fabric-safe adhesive, but avoid ironing directly on the trim.
