Troubleshooting

The jacket feels less warm than expected.

Ensure the jacket is fully fluffed up after washing and drying. Check for any damage that might be causing down leakage. Make sure the child is wearing appropriate layering underneath.

Water is seeping through the fabric.

The DWR finish may need to be refreshed. Follow the care instructions for washing and drying, and consider applying a DWR treatment.
