Regatta Junior Andreson Hybrid Jacket - Green - 7-8

No, the jacket features a water-repellent finish, which means it can withstand light rain or splashes but is not fully waterproof. For heavy rain, a dedicated waterproof jacket would be more suitable.

Warmloft is an advanced micro-baffle insulation that provides excellent warmth without the bulk of traditional fillings. It mimics the performance of down by trapping air effectively to keep the wearer warm.

These panels are made from a flexible, stretchy fabric integrated into key areas, such as the side panels and sleeves. They allow for greater freedom of movement, making it easier for children to run, climb, and play.

The jacket provides good warmth for its weight. For very cold conditions, it can be effectively layered over a fleece or thermal base layer for added insulation.

Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C with liquid detergent. Tumble dry on a low setting. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, and ironing, as these can degrade the material and its performance.

The product description does not specify a hood. Please refer to product imagery or detailed specifications for hood inclusion.

This specific listing is for size 7-8 years. The Regatta Junior Andreson Hybrid Jacket is available in a range of children's sizes, from younger ages up to older teens.

Ensure the jacket is properly layered with appropriate base layers. Check that the insulation has not been compressed by washing or improper storage. Wash and tumble dry on low heat to reactivate insulation loft.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need refreshing. Clean the jacket thoroughly and then apply a re-proofing spray or wash-in treatment according to product instructions. Avoid using fabric softener during washing.

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it catches on fabric, carefully pull the fabric away. Lubricate the zipper teeth with a bit of wax (like a candle or beeswax) or a specialized zipper lubricant.
