FAQs

What age range is this jacket suitable for?

The jacket is designed for kids. Some specific features like the adjustable hem and internal zipped pocket are designed for children aged 7 and above.

How do I clean the jacket to maintain its waterproof properties?

Machine wash at 30°C with liquid detergent, rinse twice, and tumble dry on low heat. Reapply a DWR finish periodically for optimal waterproofing.

Is this jacket warm enough for cold weather?

This is primarily a waterproof and breathable shell jacket. For colder weather, it is designed to be layered over insulating clothing like fleece or down.

What does ARED 35/35K mean?

ARED 35/35K refers to the jacket's performance rating. '35K' for the water column indicates a high level of waterproofing (35,000mm), and '35K' for breathability indicates excellent moisture vapor transfer (35,000 gsm/24hr).

Does the jacket have a hood?

Yes, it features a grown-on technical hood with a high collar and elastication for full head protection.

Are the materials used environmentally friendly?

Yes, the jacket is made from recycled polyester stretch fabric and is PFAS compliant, indicating a commitment to eco-conscious design.

Can adults wear this jacket?

This jacket is specifically sized and designed for children. It is not intended for adult wear.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer waterproof.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Wash the jacket according to care instructions and then apply a new DWR treatment.

Jacket feels clammy inside.

Ensure the jacket is properly zipped and that any vents are open if available. Check that the breathability is not compromised by excessive detergent residue. A thorough rinse cycle can help.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to use.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a little water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or a wax (like beeswax) to the zipper teeth for smoother operation.

Reflective details are peeling.

Avoid excessive heat during drying. If peeling occurs, refrain from ironing or using high heat, as this can further damage the reflective material.

Pros and Cons

  • Superior waterproof and breathable performance for all-weather comfort.
  • Durable and flexible fabric with a sustainable, eco-conscious design.
  • Enhanced visibility with reflective elements for safety.
  • Good UV protection for sunny conditions.
  • Practical features like multiple pockets and adjustable fit options.

Cons

Compatibility: Designed for unisex children's wear, suitable for a wide range of outdoor activities and can be layered over other clothing for extra warmth.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30°C (86°F) using a liquid detergent. Do not use powder detergents, bleach, or fabric softeners.
