FAQs
Is this jacket warm enough for winter?
This jacket is designed as a waterproof shell and is not insulated. For winter wear, it is recommended to layer warm clothing underneath, such as a fleece or thermal top.

Can this jacket be machine washed?
Yes, the jacket can be machine washed at 40°C on a gentle cycle with a small amount of liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softener and biological powders.
What does 'packable' mean for this jacket?
Packable means the jacket can be folded or rolled into a very compact size, making it easy to carry in a backpack or bag for convenience.
What is Storm Shield+ Technology?
Storm Shield+ is Peter Storm's proprietary technology that offers both waterproof protection against rain and breathability to allow perspiration vapor to escape, helping to keep the wearer dry from both the outside and inside.
Does the hood offer adjustable fit?
Yes, the fixed hood features a cordlock toggle system and a concealed stud closure, allowing for an adjustable and secure fit around the face.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof
Ensure the jacket is clean and free from dirt or residue. Reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish according to the product instructions.
Child feels warm and sweaty inside
Check that the jacket is properly ventilated. Ensure the child is not wearing excessive layers underneath. The breathability of the fabric may be maximized by opening zippers slightly.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
