FAQs
What age group is this jacket intended for?
This specific jacket is sized for kids, with this variant being UK size 5-6.
Is the jacket truly waterproof or just water-resistant?
The jacket is waterproof with a 10,000mm rating and features taped seams, indicating it is designed to withstand heavy rain.
How do I wash the jacket?
You can machine wash it on a gentle cycle at 30°C using a technical wash or non-biological liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softener.
Can I put the jacket in the tumble dryer?
Yes, you can tumble dry it on a low heat setting. A brief low-heat tumble can help refresh the water-repellent finish.
What does 'fluorine-free coating' mean?
It means the jacket uses a water-repellent treatment that does not contain harmful fluorocarbons (PFCs), making it more environmentally friendly.
Are there other color options available?
Yes, this jacket is also available in blue. Please check the product listing for available color and size variations.
Is the fleece lining removable?
The fleece lining is integrated into the jacket for warmth and is not designed to be removed.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is not keeping water out.
Ensure all seams are intact. Check if the DWR (water-repellent) finish needs reactivation (tumble dry low heat) or re-application. Clean the jacket thoroughly as per care instructions, as dirt can affect waterproofness.
Child feels too warm or sweaty inside.
The jacket is breathable, but for very high activity levels or warmer conditions, consider wearing lighter layers underneath. Ensure the main zipper is fully open or partially open for ventilation if needed.
Fleece lining feels damp.
This can happen if the jacket's breathability is compromised or if the child is sweating heavily. Ensure the jacket is clean and dry before use. Use appropriate non-biological detergents for washing.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Ensure the fabric is clear of the zipper track. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Apply a small amount of wax or a specialized zipper lubricant if the issue persists.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine washable on a gentle cycle at 30°C.
- Detergent: Use a specific technical wash or a non-biological liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and biological powders, as these can damage the waterproof and breathable membranes.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry away from direct heat sources. Once dry, a short tumble on a low heat can help reactivate the water-repellent finish.
- Re-proofing: For prolonged water repellency, consider re-applying a fluorine-free DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment after several washes, following the product's instructions.
