Setup, Compatibility & Care
As a wearable garment, there is no technical setup required. To ensure the longevity of the nylon fabric, always consult the internal care label. Generally, wash in cold water on a gentle cycle to preserve the insulation properties. Avoid high-heat tumble drying, as this can damage the synthetic fibers. When choosing a size, refer to the UK child sizing chart to ensure the correct fit for your child's age group.
