Regatta Kielder IX Hybrid Jacket - Red, Size: 9-10

The jacket features a water-repellent finish, which means it can withstand light rain or splashes. However, it is not fully waterproof and may not provide adequate protection in heavy or prolonged rainfall.

It uses lightweight, synthetic Warmloft down-touch insulation, which provides excellent warmth and is easily compressible.

The jacket is machine washable at 40°C. It's recommended to close all zippers before washing and wash separately. Avoid bleach, ironing, and dry cleaning. Tumble dry on a low heat setting.

It provides good warmth for its weight and is excellent for active use. For very cold conditions, it is best used as a mid-layer underneath a waterproof and windproof outer shell.

Extol Stretch refers to the panels made from a flexible material integrated into the jacket, allowing for greater freedom of movement and comfort during physical activities.

The hood opening features stretch binding for a snug fit, but it is not typically adjustable via drawcords.

The reflective trim is designed to enhance the wearer's visibility in low-light conditions, such as dawn, dusk, or overcast weather, contributing to overall safety.

Ensure the insulation is not compressed for long periods. If recently washed, ensure it is fully dry and has regained its loft. Consider layering with additional warm clothing underneath for colder conditions.

Re-apply a suitable waterproofing treatment designed for outdoor clothing after washing, following the product's instructions. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can impair water repellency.

Ensure the fabric around the zipper is clear. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. A small amount of wax or a graphite pencil rubbed on the teeth can help lubricate it. Check for any threads caught in the zipper.
