FAQs

What is the primary material of this jacket?

The jacket is made from 100% Polyamide, which is known for its durability and lightweight properties.

Is the hood detachable?

Yes, the hood is removable, offering flexibility for different weather conditions or style preferences.

How many pockets does the jacket have?

The jacket features two large front pockets and one additional external pocket, providing ample storage space.

What is the recommended washing method?

It is recommended to machine wash the jacket at 30°C on a gentle cycle and avoid bleaching.

Can this jacket be worn in heavy rain?

The polyamide material offers some protection against light rain and wind, but it is not designed as a waterproof garment for heavy downpours.

What age group is this jacket intended for?

This specific variant is designed for kids.

How should I care for the logo patch and applique details?

Avoid direct high heat when ironing, as this can damage the details. Gentle washing and air drying are best.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or stuck

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Apply a small amount of graphite from a pencil to the zipper teeth or use a mild lubricant like lip balm, then try again.

Snap fastenings are difficult to close

Ensure the fabric is not bunched up under the snap. If the snaps feel loose, they may require professional repair.

Jacket appears less water-resistant over time

Ensure the jacket is clean and free of dirt or oils, which can affect water repellency. Re-applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment designed for synthetic fabrics may be necessary after extensive use.

Removable hood is difficult to detach/reattach

Check for any hidden buttons or zipper mechanisms securing the hood. Ensure all connection points are fully aligned before attempting to remove or attach.
