Product Information

Full details

This Mountain Warehouse Soft Shell Jacket in Pink, size 7-8, is designed for active young girls seeking protection from the elements. Its key benefit is its water and wind-resistant softshell fabric, offering good comfort for outdoor play. A minor caveat is that while water-resistant, it is not fully waterproof, so prolonged heavy rain may penetrate.

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

No, the jacket is water-resistant, meaning it can repel light rain for a period. For heavy or prolonged rain, a fully waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.

How warm is this jacket?

The jacket features a soft fleece lining for warmth and is wind-resistant. It's ideal for mild to cool weather and can serve as a good mid-layer in colder conditions.

What does 'DWR finish' mean?

DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. It's a coating applied to the fabric that causes water to bead up and roll off the surface, helping to keep the wearer dry in light rain.

Can I put this jacket in the washing machine?

Yes, it is machine washable on a gentle cycle. However, avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as they can damage the water-resistant properties.

How do I re-apply the water resistance?

You can use a specialized spray or wash-in treatment for technical outerwear. Follow the instructions on the re-proofing product carefully.

What are the measurements for the size 7-8?

The size guide indicates that for 7-8 Years, the jacket chest measurement is approximately 26 inches.

What is the main material of the jacket?

The outer material is primarily a softshell fabric composed of 93% Polyester and 7% Elastane. The lining is 100% Polyester.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to close

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper track. Gently apply a small amount of wax or lip balm to the teeth of the zipper and try again.

Water is soaking through the fabric

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Re-apply a water-repellent treatment suitable for softshell fabrics according to the product instructions.

Jacket feels clammy inside

This can occur if the garment's breathability is compromised. Ensure the jacket is clean and free of residues from detergents or fabric softeners. Check that the DWR finish is intact.

Jacket has lost its shape after washing

Ensure you are following the recommended washing and drying instructions. Avoid high heat drying or harsh spin cycles. Reshape the garment while damp and allow it to air dry.
