FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
It is water-repellent, meaning it protects against light rain and showers, but it is not fully waterproof for heavy, prolonged rain.
Can this jacket be tumble dried?
It is generally recommended to air dry the jacket to preserve the insulation and the technical finish of the fabric.
Is the hood adjustable?
The hood is 'grown-on' with elastication, which provides a natural snug fit without needing manual toggles.
What material is the jacket made of?
The jacket is constructed from durable, lightweight polyester.
How should I choose the right size?
Sizes are based on age ranges, such as 3-4, 7-8, or 9-10. Check the specific size label for your child's age group to ensure the best fit.
Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak into the fabric instead of beading off.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating has likely worn off. Wash the garment and apply a DWR spray or wash-in treatment.
Reflective strips appear dull or dirty.
Gently wipe the reflective areas with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket is designed for immediate use. To maintain the jacket's water-repellent performance and material integrity, follow these care steps:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30 or 40 degrees Celsius using a mild detergent.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent damage to the padding and reflective elements.
- Reproofing: Over time, the water-repellent treatment may wear off; consider using a dedicated technical fabric re-proofer to maintain its effectiveness.
- Storage: Hang the jacket on a sturdy hanger in a dry, well-ventilated area to maintain its shape and insulation loft.
