Product Information
Full details
This Regatta padded jacket is designed for girls who need to stay warm and stylish during cooler weather. Its key benefit is excellent insulation provided by synthetic down filling and a durable water-repellent finish, offering protection from light rain and wind. A minor consideration is that while it's water-repellent, it is not fully waterproof, so prolonged exposure to heavy rain may require additional protection. This jacket is crafted from 100% recycled polyester, featuring a plain quilted pattern, a hood, long sleeves, and two welted side pockets.

Can I use fabric softener when washing?

Troubleshooting
Water repellency decreasing over time
After washing, apply a suitable DWR re-proofing spray or wash-in treatment according to the product's instructions to restore the water-repellent finish.
Jacket filling feels lumpy after washing
Ensure the jacket is properly tumble dried on a low heat setting with tennis balls. The balls help to break up any clumps and redistribute the synthetic filling evenly.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to close
Check the zipper teeth for any fabric obstructions. Gently clean the zipper with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Lubricate with a pencil lead or wax if needed.
