Full details

FAQs
What age group is this jacket intended for?
This jacket is designed for kids and is available in children's sizes. This specific item is size XL, suitable for older children within the brand's sizing guidelines.
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain or prolonged downpours?
The jacket provides good protection against light to moderate rain. For very heavy or prolonged downpours, additional waterproof layers or gear might be necessary depending on the activity.
Can this jacket be worn in cold weather?
The jacket is primarily designed for rain protection and is lightweight. It can serve as a windbreaker in cooler conditions, but for significant cold, layering underneath with insulating clothing is recommended.
How should I clean the jacket to maintain its waterproof properties?
Machine wash cold with a mild detergent, avoiding fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Avoid high heat. Periodic reapplication of a waterproofing treatment may be necessary.
What does 'Jn99' refer to in the product name?
'Jn99' is a product code or internal identifier used by the brand Castore and does not indicate a specific feature of the jacket itself.
Are there other sizes available for this jacket?
Yes, this jacket is available in other sizes for children, such as Medium (M) and Small (S), alongside this XL option.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer repelling water effectively.
The water-repellent finish may need to be reactivated or reapplied. Try tumble drying on a low heat setting for 20 minutes with a clean tennis ball. If this doesn't help, consider using a specialized waterproofing spray or wash for outdoor gear, following the product's instructions.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and mild soap and water. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Lubricate with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant if necessary.
Child feels clammy or wet on the inside.
This could be due to condensation. Ensure the child is not overheating. Proper ventilation (if the jacket has features like pit zips) can help. Also, ensure any base layers worn are moisture-wicking, not cotton, which absorbs moisture.
