Product Information

Full details

The Sprayway Eldon I.A. Waterproof Jacket is a durable, versatile shell designed for active children aged 7-8 who need reliable weather protection for school days or outdoor hiking adventures. Featuring HydroDRY technology, it provides excellent waterproofing while maintaining comfort through a breathable taffeta lining; however, users should note that as a shell jacket, it is best utilized as a top layer for rain protection rather than a standalone insulated coat for extreme winter cold.

FAQs

Is this jacket warm enough for winter?

This is a waterproof shell. It is excellent for rain and wind but should be paired with an I.A. compatible fleece or down vest for warmth in winter temperatures.

Can I put this in the tumble dryer?

It is generally recommended to air dry to protect the technical membranes and reflective trim.

What does I.A. mean?

I.A. stands for InterActive, a system that allows two compatible garments to be zipped together into one layered system.

How do I ensure the best fit?

The size 7-8 is designed for standard growth in that age range. Consider if you plan to wear thick layers underneath when choosing the size.

Is the hood adjustable?

The hood is semi-elasticated for a snug, secure fit around the face, featuring a stiffened peak for better visibility.

Troubleshooting

Water appears to soak into the surface fabric

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may have worn off. Apply a wash-in or spray-on re-proofer designed for waterproof shells.

Difficulty zipping the I.A. layer into the jacket

Ensure both zippers are fully aligned at the start and check for fabric obstructions in the tracks.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Fully waterproof and windproof protection
  • Versatile InterActive system for layering
  • Highly durable polyester construction
  • Reflective trim enhances safety for kids
  • Smooth lining for easy layering

Cons

  • Shell design lacks heavy thermal insulation
  • Hand wash or specialized laundry care required for waterproof fabrics
  • Size 7-8 is specific to age bracket, limiting long-term growth use

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the integrity of the HydroDRY waterproof coating, avoid using standard detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip the water-repellent finish. Instead, use a specialized technical fabric cleaner. Always close all zippers and fasten the storm flap before washing. The jacket is designed to be compatible with other Sprayway I.A. garments; to connect them, simply zip the mid-layer into the internal tracks located behind the main front zip. For drying, drip-dry the jacket in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources to prevent material damage.
