Can my child wear this in the winter?

Troubleshooting
Water appears to be soaking into the fabric rather than beading off
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may be wearing off. Re-apply a fabric-safe DWR spray treatment to restore the water-shedding properties.
Difficulty with the main zipper
Check the track for debris like dirt or mud. Gently clean the teeth with a soft brush and ensure no loose threads are caught in the zip mechanism.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a technical outdoor garment, proper maintenance is key to preserving its water-repellent properties. It is recommended to wash the jacket using mild detergent and avoid harsh fabric softeners, which can clog the breathable pores of the fabric. Always check the garment label for specific temperature guidance. When not in use, store the jacket in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight to prevent degradation of the reflective elements. Ensure that the main zipper is fully engaged during wear to maximize weather protection.
