Product Overview
The Regatta Junior Kids Ablaze softshell jacket is a technically proficient outer layer designed specifically for the requirements of active children. This medium-weight garment utilises a two-layer softshell construction that balances thermal insulation with high flexibility. Engineered for 'mini adventurers', it provides the necessary protection against the elements while ensuring that the wearer remains comfortable and agile during physical activity. The inclusion of reflective print detailing underscores a commitment to safety, making it a reliable choice for school journeys or outdoor training.
Key Features
- Warm-backed woven stretch softshell fabric provides a comfortable interior environment by trapping heat while allowing for full mechanical stretch.
- Reflective print detailing significantly enhances the wearer's visibility in low-light conditions, which is a critical safety consideration for winter use.
- Specially designed printable softshell fabric offers a superior surface for customisation, ensuring branding remains clear and durable.
- The two-layer design ensures a streamlined fit that reduces bulk, making it an excellent choice for layering over base garments.
Design & Performance
Constructed from 100% polyester, the Kids Ablaze jacket is built to endure the typical wear and tear associated with youth activities. The woven exterior is resilient and wind-resistant, providing a sturdy barrier against the cold. Inside, the warm-backed finish provides a soft touch against the skin or inner layers, wicking moisture while retaining essential core warmth.
Performance is defined by the garment's agility. Unlike traditional heavy coats, this softshell allows for a complete range of motion, which is vital for children engaged in sports or play. The fabric's durability ensures it maintains its shape and protective qualities even after extensive use and regular laundering, representing a sound investment for any organisation.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Kids Ablaze is particularly well-suited for personalisation, whether for school uniforms, club kits, or promotional events. For a truly professional appearance, we recommend embroidery. This method is ideal for school crests or individual names, providing a textured, high-quality finish that lasts the lifetime of the garment. Our Telford-based team has been perfecting this craft since 1976, ensuring every stitch meets our exacting standards.
Alternatively, the smooth surface of the softshell fabric is perfect for high-definition printing. This approach is best for larger logos or bold designs where sharp detail and vibrant colours are required. Because we handle all customisation in-house, we can guarantee that the branding process will not compromise the jacket's technical performance.
Use Cases
This jacket is an ideal solution for junior sports teams, school groups, and outdoor activity centres. Its smart appearance makes it suitable for formal school trips, while its rugged construction ensures it can handle more demanding outdoor environments. The reflective elements also make it a sensible choice for children walking or cycling to school during the shorter days of the year.

Practical Advice
When selecting a size, it is worth noting that this jacket has a tailored, active fit to maximise its thermal efficiency. If you intend for the child to wear several layers or a thick jumper underneath, you may find that opting for a size larger than usual provides a more comfortable fit. The range accommodates ages from 3/4 years up to a 34-inch chest, catering to a wide variety of youth age groups.
Caring for your product
To ensure the jacket continues to perform at its best, it should be machine washed regularly. Keeping the fabric clean prevents the buildup of dirt that can interfere with the material's breathability and stretch. Proper maintenance also keeps your custom embroidery or print looking its best for longer.
Do not use bleach on this garment. Harsh bleaching agents will degrade the polyester fibres and can cause the reflective print to fail, compromising both the look and the safety of the jacket. It is also important not to tumble dry the item; high temperatures can damage the synthetic fibres and cause shrinkage or delamination of the softshell layers.
Ironing should be avoided entirely, as the direct heat can melt the fabric and destroy any applied prints or embroidery. Finally, do not dry clean this jacket, as the chemical solvents used in the process can strip away the essential finishes that give the fabric its weather-resistant properties.
