Product Information

Full details

The Animal Pace Waterproof Packable Jacket is an ideal choice for active children who need a reliable, lightweight outer layer for unpredictable weather. Featuring a 5,000mm waterproof rating and fully taped seams, it provides excellent protection during light to moderate rain while remaining breathable for active play. While it is perfect for school runs and outdoor adventures due to its packable design, parents should note that it is intended for temperate wet weather rather than extreme, prolonged heavy downpours.

FAQs

Is this jacket machine washable?

Yes, it can be machine washed on a gentle cycle. Always follow the care label and avoid fabric softeners.

Does it have a hood?

Yes, the jacket includes an integrated hood to provide complete coverage during rainy weather.

Can this be worn in freezing temperatures?

This is a shell jacket designed for wind and rain protection. It does not provide significant insulation, so it is best worn over a fleece or sweater in cold weather.

What does the 5,000mm waterproof rating mean?

This rating indicates the jacket can withstand a 5,000mm column of water over 24 hours before moisture penetrates, making it suitable for moderate rain.

How do I pack the jacket?

The jacket is designed to fold or roll into its own built-in pocket or bag, making it compact enough to fit inside a backpack.

Are the materials safe for my child?

The jacket is PFC-free, meaning it is manufactured without certain perfluorinated chemicals, prioritizing environmental and user safety.

Troubleshooting

Water appears to soak into the outer fabric

The DWR finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket and re-apply a DWR spray treatment to restore water beading.

Jacket feels damp inside after exercise

While the fabric is breathable, ensure the child is not wearing heavy, non-wicking layers underneath that trap sweat.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight and easy for children to wear without feeling restricted
  • Packable format is highly convenient for travel and school
  • Excellent moisture protection with taped seams
  • Breathable fabric prevents overheating during play
  • Environmentally friendly PFC-free water-repellent coating

Cons

  • Not rated for extreme alpine or heavy storm conditions
  • Lightweight material may be susceptible to snags on sharp objects
  • Limited warmth, requiring layering in cold temperatures

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the jacket's performance, shake off excess water after use and allow it to air dry fully before packing it into its storage bag. Avoid leaving it crumpled while wet for extended periods to prevent odor buildup.

Care Instructions:

  • Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent.
  • Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the waterproof coating.
  • Air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators to preserve the fabric integrity.
  • If the water-repellent finish wears off over time, you can re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray specifically designed for waterproof outerwear.
