FAQs
Is this jacket insulated?
No, this is a waterproof shell jacket. It is designed to keep you dry from rain and wind but does not provide inherent insulation. You will need to wear warm layers underneath in cold weather.
How do I clean the jacket?
You can machine wash the jacket at 40°C with similar colours. Avoid using bleach or fabric softener. It's best to air dry or tumble dry on a low heat setting.
What does 'packable' mean?
The jacket can be folded and stored inside a small stuff sack, which is included. This makes it very easy to carry in a backpack or school bag when not needed.
What activities is this jacket best suited for?
It is recommended for walking, festivals, camping trips, and school runs. Essentially, any activity where children need protection from the rain.
What material is the jacket made from?

Troubleshooting
Jacket is not fully waterproof after washing.
Ensure the jacket was washed according to care instructions and not with fabric softener. Consider using a re-proofing spray specifically designed for waterproof outerwear.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of wax (like a candle or beeswax) or graphite from a pencil to the zipper teeth to help it glide more smoothly.
Elasticated cuffs/hem feel loose.
This is a common characteristic of elasticated parts over time. Ensure the fit is still secure enough to block wind and rain. If significantly loose, repair may not be feasible.
