FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, this is a fleece midlayer designed for warmth and comfort. It is not waterproof and will need to be worn under a waterproof outer shell for protection against rain.

What is the material made from?

The fleece is made from 100% recycled polyester, offering an eco-friendly warmth solution.

How do I know which size to choose?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart, which usually provides measurements for chest, waist, and height to help you find the best fit for your child.

Can this be worn on its own in mild weather?

Yes, in mild, dry conditions, it can be worn as an outer layer. However, its primary design is as a warming layer beneath other outerwear.

Are the reflective elements durable?

The reflective zip pullers are designed for durability with normal wear and washing. Avoid harsh scrubbing directly on the reflective surfaces.

How should I care for the fleece to maintain its softness?

Wash in cold water with like colors, use a mild detergent, and tumble dry on low or air dry. Avoid high heat and fabric softeners, which can degrade fleece fibers over time.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently pull the zipper up and down several times. If still stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.

Fleece appears matted after washing.

Avoid high heat drying. Tumble dry on low or air dry. Use a soft brush to gently fluff the fleece fibers if needed. Ensure you are using a mild detergent and not overloading the washing machine.

Garment lost its shape after washing.

Ensure you are following the care instructions precisely. Avoid harsh detergents or excessive spinning. Lay flat to dry or tumble dry on a very low setting.
