FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
It is water-resistant thanks to a DWR finish, which protects against light rain, but it is not seam-sealed for heavy downpours.
Can this be worn in winter?
It is best used as a wind-blocking shell. It should be worn over insulating layers like fleece or down for warmth in colder weather.
How do I determine the right size?
The jacket uses standard sizing. Consult the provided size guide and consider if you intend to layer thick sweaters underneath.
Is the hood adjustable?
The hood is a fixed design intended for a simple, comfortable, and secure fit.
Does it have pockets?
The design focuses on a minimalist, lightweight build; always check the specific model's pocket configuration, as many shell designs prioritize weight reduction.
Troubleshooting
Water soaking into the fabric instead of beading off
The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the jacket and re-apply a DWR-restoring spray.
Zipper sticking or becoming difficult to pull
Ensure no fabric is caught in the track. You can lightly rub a graphite pencil tip along the teeth to act as a lubricant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a simple, high-performance garment, no special setup is required. To maintain the jacket's longevity and performance:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR coating.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible to preserve the technical fabrics, or tumble dry on a low, delicate setting if required by the care tag.
- Re-treating: Over time, you may notice water no longer beads on the surface. Applying a spray-on DWR treatment can restore its water-repellent properties.
- Compatibility: The regular fit allows it to work perfectly over base layers or thin fleece sweaters, ensuring your child can layer up based on the daily forecast.
