FAQs

What age group is this jacket designed for?

This specific jacket is sized for children aged 7-8 years.

How do I wash the jacket?

Machine wash at 40°C on a gentle cycle with a small amount of liquid detergent. Avoid powder detergent, bleach, and fabric softener. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on low heat.

Is the jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The jacket provides waterproof and windproof protection. For very cold weather, it is designed to be layered with warmer insulating garments underneath.

How do I ensure the jacket remains waterproof?

Periodically re-apply a water-repellent treatment using a spray or wash-in product specifically designed for outdoor technical clothing. Proper washing and drying also help maintain performance.

Are the reflective details durable?

The reflective details are designed to last under normal wear and tear. To preserve them, avoid excessive rubbing or abrasion directly on the reflective areas during washing or drying.

Can this jacket be worn by both boys and girls?

Yes, the jacket features a unisex design and is suitable for children of any gender.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer waterproof

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Re-apply a suitable water-repellent treatment following the product's instructions. Ensure the jacket is clean before re-proofing.

Child feels clammy inside the jacket

While the jacket is breathable, excessive activity in humid conditions can lead to moisture buildup. Ensure the garment is not too tight and that all vents (if any) are open. Check that the base layers are also breathable.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and allow to dry. Apply a small amount of wax (like a candle or beeswax) to the teeth, then carefully move the zipper up and down to ensure smooth operation.
