FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for very cold winter weather?

The jacket provides good warmth due to its quilted and padded design, making it suitable for cooler weather. For extremely cold conditions, layering with additional warm clothing underneath is recommended.

How do I know if I've chosen the correct size?

The product details indicate this is a size 7-8 Years. Please refer to the size chart provided by the retailer for specific measurements if available, or compare with the child's current clothing measurements.

Can this jacket be worn by girls?

While listed as 'Male' in attributes, the jacket's design is generally unisex. The primary consideration should be sizing and fit.

What does 'PFC Free' mean?

PFC Free means the jacket has been manufactured without Perfluorinated Chemicals, which are often used in waterproof coatings but can be harmful to the environment and human health.

How often should I re-proof the jacket?

Re-proofing is recommended when you notice a decrease in water repellency, typically after several washes or significant wear. Follow the instructions on your chosen re-proofing product.

Can I machine wash the jacket?

Yes, the jacket can be machine washed at 40°C using a mild liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency is decreasing

Ensure the jacket is clean. Re-apply a water-repellent finish using a suitable spray or wash-in product after washing and tumble drying.

Jacket feels damp inside

This could be due to insufficient ventilation or prolonged exposure to heavy rain. Ensure zippers are fully closed and check if the breathability of the fabric has been compromised by dirt; clean as per care instructions.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Gently try to move the zipper. If it remains stiff, apply a small amount of wax or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

This jacket requires no setup. It is designed for immediate use.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the jacket's water-repellent finish and overall performance, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 40°C (a warm wash) using a mild liquid detergent. Do not use fabric softener or bleach.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse twice to ensure all detergent is removed.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. This helps to reactivate the water-repellent treatment.
  4. Re-proofing: For enhanced and long-lasting water repellency, a re-proofing spray or wash-in product can be applied after washing and drying, following the product's specific instructions. Do not iron.
