Product Information

Full details

This Peter Storm Kid's Hooded Packable Waterproof Jacket is designed for active children needing reliable protection from the elements. Its key benefit is offering waterproof and breathable coverage that easily packs away, making it ideal for school bags or travel. A potential consideration is that while waterproof, it is a lightweight shell, not insulated, so additional layers may be needed in colder weather. Key features include a PU coating for waterproofing, an elasticated hood and cuffs for a snug fit, and a stuff sack for portability.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer waterproof

The PU coating may have degraded over time or from improper care. Ensure cleaning instructions are followed. Consider reapplying a suitable fabric waterproofing treatment if necessary.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use

Clean the zipper teeth gently with a damp cloth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper track.

Jacket feels clammy inside

This can happen if the fabric's breathability is compromised. Ensure the jacket is clean and free from dirt or residue. For strenuous activity, adjust layers underneath for better moisture management.
