FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
No, this jacket features a durable water-repellent finish, which is effective against light rain or drizzle, but it is not fully waterproof. For heavy rain, a dedicated waterproof jacket would be more suitable.
How should I clean the jacket?
Machine wash inside out on a gentle cycle at 30°C with mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on a low heat setting with tennis balls. Avoid bleach, fabric softener, and ironing.
Can I use fabric softener when washing?
No, fabric softener should not be used as it can damage the synthetic insulation and reduce the effectiveness of the water-repellent finish.
How do I reapply the water-repellent finish?
After washing and drying, you can reapply the water-repellent finish using a spray or wash-in treatment specifically designed for outdoor clothing. Follow the instructions on the chosen product.
What age group is this jacket intended for?
This specific product listing is for girls aged 7-8 years. The Orla Kiely Padded Jacket may be available in other sizes.
What does 'synthetic down insulation' mean?
Synthetic down insulation is made from polyester fibers designed to mimic the warmth and loft of natural down. It offers good insulation even when damp and is often hypoallergenic.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is not as warm as expected
Ensure the jacket is properly zipped up and that the cuffs and hem are snug. Check if layers underneath are adequate for the temperature. Synthetic down can lose some loft if compressed for long periods; try tumbling it on a low heat with tennis balls to help fluff it up.
Water is soaking through the fabric
The water-repellent finish may have diminished. Reapply a suitable water-repellent treatment after washing according to the product instructions. Ensure you are not expecting it to perform like a fully waterproof garment.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. You can lubricate the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil or a small amount of silicone spray. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.
Jacket has lost its shape after washing
Ensure you followed the washing and drying instructions carefully. Tumble drying on a low heat with tennis balls can help restore the loft of the synthetic insulation. Avoid high heat or harsh spinning cycles.
