Full details
This Peter Storm Kids Packable Waterproof Jacket in Polka Dot is designed for children aged 5-6 who need reliable protection from heavy rain during outdoor activities like walking, hiking, or commuting.

What does Storm Shield+ Technology do?
Storm Shield+ Technology ensures the jacket is both waterproof, protecting from heavy rain, and breathable, preventing overheating during physical activity.
Are the seams taped?

Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Re-apply a DWR treatment following product instructions. Ensure the jacket is clean before treatment.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Gently clean the zipper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Lubricate with a graphite pencil tip or a specialized zipper lubricant. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Jacket feels clammy inside during heavy activity.
While the jacket is breathable, intense activity can sometimes lead to internal moisture buildup. Ensure layers underneath are also breathable. If the issue persists, it may indicate the limits of the jacket's breathability for extreme exertion.
