FAQs

What age group is this jacket for?

This specific listing is for size 1-2 (UK children's size). The jacket is available in a range of sizes suitable for children from toddler age up to older children, with sizing often based on chest measurements.

How warm is the jacket?

The jacket features 160gm polyester wadding filling and a polyester lining, making it very warm and suitable for cold winter conditions. It has a 'super warm' rating.

Can the hood be removed?

The hood is concealed within the collar and is not designed to be removed. It features a three-section design with a size adjuster.

Are the pockets waterproof?

The jacket itself is waterproof with taped seams. The pockets are concealed and feature storm flaps for added protection, with fleece lining for warmth. While designed to keep contents dry, they are not sealed compartments.

What does 'StormDri 2000' mean?

StormDri 2000 indicates the jacket's waterproof rating, meaning it can withstand a significant level of water pressure, keeping the wearer dry in heavy rain. It also signifies windproof capabilities.

How should I clean the jacket to maintain its waterproofness?

Machine wash at 40°C, inside out, with similar colours. Do not use fabric softener or bleach. Tumble dry on low or dry flat. Avoid ironing. Periodically reapply a suitable waterproofing treatment.

Is this jacket suitable for very active sports?

Yes, it is suitable for sports, walking, and leisure activities. The polyester material is durable, and the design includes features like reflective tape and an adjustable hem for safety and comfort during activity.

Troubleshooting

Jacket not fully waterproof after washing.

Ensure no fabric softener was used during washing. Check that waterproof seam tape is intact. Consider reapplying a waterproofing treatment suitable for polyester fabrics.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and mild soap. Lubricate with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.

Child feels too warm while wearing the jacket.

This jacket is designed for cold weather. For milder conditions, consider layering with lighter base layers or opting for a lighter weight jacket. Ensure the hood is not unnecessarily up indoors.

Reflective tape appears to be peeling.

Avoid high heat drying and ironing, as these can damage the reflective material. If minor peeling occurs, do not attempt to reapply with adhesive. For significant damage, contact customer support.
