FAQs
What is the main benefit of the Extol Stretch inserts?
The Extol Stretch inserts are placed in key areas to allow for maximum freedom of movement, ensuring comfort and flexibility during active play or sports.
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The jacket features water-repellent panels, which are effective against light rain or drizzle. For heavy rain, a fully waterproof outer layer would be more appropriate.
How do I clean the jacket?
The jacket is machine washable. Please consult the specific care label on the garment for detailed washing and drying instructions, as using fabric softener is generally not recommended.
What is Warmloft insulation?
Warmloft is a synthetic insulation that mimics the feel and warmth of down while remaining effective when damp, providing lightweight warmth without bulk.
Does the hood offer adjustable tightening?
The hood opening features stretch binding to provide a secure fit and help lock out the elements, but it is not typically adjustable with drawcords.
Can I put this jacket in the dryer?
Yes, tumble dry on a low heat setting is often recommended to help restore the loft of the insulation. Always check the garment's care label for specific instructions.
What is the purpose of the name label?
A printed name label is included inside the jacket, up to age 8, to help identify the owner, which is particularly useful for school or group activities.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels damp after light rain
The water-repellent finish may be worn. Consider reapplying a suitable reproofing spray after washing and drying according to care instructions.
Insulation feels flat or less warm
Ensure the jacket is properly dried after washing, preferably with a low heat tumble dry. This helps to restore the loft of the Warmloft insulation.
Stretch panels feel tight
Check the size guide to ensure the correct size has been purchased. Ensure no fabric softener was used during washing, as this can affect fabric elasticity.
