Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket machine washable?

Yes, it can be machine washed on a gentle cycle using mild detergent. Always ensure all zips are closed before washing.

What does 8000mm waterproof mean?

This refers to the amount of water pressure the fabric can withstand before moisture leaks through. 8000mm is generally considered good for light to moderate rain.

Can my child wear this in winter?

Yes, provided the child is wearing appropriate insulating layers underneath, as the jacket itself is designed for wind and water protection rather than extreme thermal insulation.

Does the jacket come with a hood?

The product description focuses on the jacket structure, pockets, and cuffs. Please check the garment collar for a stowaway hood or external attachment points.

Are the cuffs adjustable for growing kids?

Yes, the cuffs feature Velcro closures that allow you to tighten them for a secure fit or loosen them as the child grows.

Troubleshooting

Water is soaking through the fabric in heavy rain

The jacket is rated for light-to-moderate rain (8000mm). For sustained heavy downpours, use a dedicated hardshell rain layer over the top.

Zipper feels stiff or hard to pull

Check for debris or fabric caught in the teeth. If the zipper is clear, apply a small amount of clear candle wax or a dedicated zipper lubricant to smooth the motion.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent windproof and waterproof protection
  • Breathable fabric prevents excessive sweat buildup

  • Adjustable cuffs help create a weather-sealed fit
  • Easy-to-use full front zipper

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This jacket requires no formal setup; simply choose the size that fits your child best. Because the jacket is a softshell, it is highly compatible with layering, fitting comfortably over a long-sleeved shirt or a fleece during colder days.

Care Instructions:

  • Close all zippers before washing to protect the teeth and surrounding fabric.
  • Wash in cold water using a mild detergent.
  • Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can compromise the waterproof and breathable coatings.
  • Hang to dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can damage the technical properties of the fabric.
