Full details
The Regatta Kielder IX Hybrid Jacket is designed for active children, offering protection and comfort in unpredictable weather. Its key benefit is the combination of water-repellent panels and warm, compressible insulation for versatile outdoor wear. A potential caveat is that the water-repellency may diminish over time with frequent washing or heavy exposure. This jacket features durable polyamide panels, Extol Stretch inserts for freedom of movement, and lightweight Warmloft insulation.

FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, the jacket features water-repellent panels, which means it can resist light rain or splashes, but it is not fully waterproof and may not withstand prolonged exposure to heavy rain.
How warm is the insulation?
The jacket uses lightweight Warmloft down-touch insulation, which provides good warmth for its weight, making it suitable for mild to cool conditions or as a layering piece.
Can I wash this jacket in a washing machine?
Yes, the jacket is machine washable. It is recommended to wash on a 40°C cycle using a non-biological detergent.
What is the purpose of the Extol Stretch inserts?
The Extol Stretch inserts are made from a flexible material and are placed in areas that require greater movement, such as the sides and underarms, allowing the child to move freely during activities.
How do I maintain the water-repellent finish?
The water-repellent finish can be maintained by washing the jacket with appropriate detergents and, if needed, reapplying a suitable re-proofing spray after washing, following the spray manufacturer's guidelines.
What should I do if the jacket is too small or too large?
Refer to the size guide for Regatta children's clothing. If the fit is incorrect, check the retailer's return policy for exchanges.
Are the reflective trims effective in the dark?
Yes, the reflective trim is designed to reflect light from sources such as car headlights, enhancing visibility during dawn, dusk, or low-light conditions.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper. If still stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.
Water-repellency seems to have decreased.
The water-repellent finish can wear off over time and with washing. Consider applying a suitable re-proofing spray designed for outdoor clothing after washing, following the product's instructions.
Jacket feels tight or restrictive.
Ensure the correct size has been selected. Check that the cuffs and hem are not caught on clothing underneath. The Extol Stretch panels are designed for flexibility, so significant restriction may indicate an incorrect fit.
Loose threads or minor seam issues.
Carefully trim any loose threads with scissors. For seam issues, consult the product warranty or contact customer support if the garment is significantly damaged.
