FAQs

What age group is this jacket designed for?

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

Is the jacket suitable for very cold weather?

Yes, the jacket features a warm fleece lining and is designed to be layered, making it suitable for cold weather. Its waterproof rating also protects against wind chill.

How do I clean the EcoSplash jacket?

The jacket is machine washable on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softener and tumble dry on low heat or air dry.

What does '10,000mm waterproof rating' mean?

A 10,000mm rating indicates that the fabric can withstand the pressure of 10,000 millimeters of water before it starts to leak. This is considered a good level of waterproofing suitable for heavy rain.

What is the benefit of the fluorine-free coating?

A fluorine-free coating is a more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional DWR (durable water repellent) finishes, reducing the release of harmful chemicals into the environment.

Are there other sizes or colors available?

This guide focuses on the Green Geometric print in size 7-8. However, the EcoSplash range from Vivobarefoot often includes other colors and sizes for different age groups.

Can this jacket be worn in windy conditions?

Yes, the waterproof and windproof nature of the jacket makes it ideal for windy conditions, providing protection and warmth.

Troubleshooting

Jacket not fully waterproof after washing.

Ensure no fabric softener was used during washing, as it can degrade waterproof coatings. Consider re-applying a suitable waterproofing treatment designed for outdoor wear.

Fleece lining feels damp after activity.

While the jacket is breathable, intense activity can still lead to some internal moisture. Ensure the child is wearing appropriate base layers. Air dry the jacket thoroughly after use.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.

Gently clean the zipper area with a damp cloth. You can apply a small amount of beeswax or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth to improve function.

Reflective details are peeling or damaged.

Avoid high heat during drying cycles and excessive abrasion. If minor damage occurs, ensure it doesn't compromise overall visibility.
