FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
The Peter Storm Blisco II Hooded Jacket is designed for insulation and water resistance, but it is not fully waterproof. It can withstand light rain or snow for a limited time but is not suitable for heavy downpours.
What is the best way to clean the jacket?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 40°C with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry.
Can this jacket be worn in very cold winter conditions?
The jacket provides good warmth for everyday use in cool to cold weather, but for extreme winter conditions or activities like skiing, it's recommended to use it as part of a layering system with warmer insulating layers underneath and potentially a waterproof outer shell.
What material is the insulation made of?
The insulation is made of 100% Polyester continuous filament.
Does the hood offer any adjustment?
The hood is a grown-on design, meaning it is fixed to the jacket. It features an elasticated edge to help seal in warmth but does not have drawcords for adjustable tightening.
How do I know what size to order?
Please refer to the Peter Storm sizing chart, typically available on the product page or brand's official website, to find the best fit based on your child's measurements.
What is the outer fabric material?
The outer fabric is made of durable polyamide.
Troubleshooting
Jacket not providing enough warmth.
Ensure all layers underneath are also providing insulation. Check that the hood and hem are snug against the body to prevent drafts. For colder conditions, consider adding a heavier fleece or thermal layer underneath.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Gently try to move the zipper up and down a few times. If it persists, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Inner lining feels clingy.
This can sometimes happen with synthetic fabrics. Ensure the garment worn underneath is also a smooth synthetic or a natural fiber like cotton that doesn't cling. Check care instructions to ensure no fabric softeners were used in washing, as these can exacerbate clinginess.
Jacket appears creased after washing.
Avoid high heat when drying. Hang the jacket to air dry. If necessary, use a cool iron setting for a very short period, keeping the iron moving and avoiding direct pressure on the insulation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: The jacket is designed as outerwear for children. It layers well over t-shirts, sweaters, and fleeces. It is compatible with other outdoor gear such as waterproof trousers and hats.
Care Instructions: To maintain the jacket's performance and appearance:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 40°C (104°F) with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can reduce the insulation's effectiveness.

- Ironing: Do not iron. Any necessary steaming should be done on a very low setting, avoiding direct contact with synthetic insulation.
