Full details

The Game Viper softshell jacket is the ideal outdoor companion for active children who need reliable protection against unpredictable weather. Engineered with waterproof, windproof, and breathable materials, it ensures comfort during play, though parents should note that it is designed as a mid-to-outer layer rather than an insulated winter coat. Its blend of high-performance technical specs and practical storage makes it a versatile staple for hiking, school, or weekend adventures.

FAQs

Is this jacket machine washable?

Yes, it can be machine washed on a gentle, cool cycle.

Does it provide enough warmth for winter?

It is a softshell and offers windproofing but limited insulation. It is best used as an outer layer with a fleece underneath for colder days.

Are the pockets waterproof?

The pockets have zipped closures for security, but they are not fully waterproof, so avoid storing electronics in them during heavy rain.

What does 3000 MVP breathability mean?

MVP stands for Moisture Vapor Permeability, meaning the fabric allows sweat vapor to escape, keeping the wearer comfortable during exercise.

How do the sizes run?

The sizes generally follow standard children's sizing; the model described is sized 3-4 years.

Troubleshooting

Zip feels stiff or sticks

Clear any fabric or dirt from the zipper track and apply a small amount of silicone lubricant or rub with a graphite pencil.

Water begins to soak into the outer layer

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may need refreshing; use a wash-in or spray-on reproofing treatment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This jacket is designed as a standalone layer or a component of a larger layering system. To maintain the waterproof coating, follow these care steps:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild technical detergent.
  2. Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can degrade the technical membrane.
  3. Storage: Hang the jacket in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain its shape.
  4. Maintenance: Periodically check that all zippers are clear of debris to ensure smooth operation.
