Troubleshooting

Jacket is not fully waterproof

Ensure all zips and fastenings are fully closed. Check the care label and ensure the garment has been washed according to instructions, as incorrect washing can affect waterproof properties. For persistent issues, consider re-waterproofing treatments suitable for technical outerwear.

Child feels clammy inside the jacket

This may indicate that the breathability is being overwhelmed by intense activity or insufficient layering. Ensure the child is wearing breathable layers underneath and that the jacket's vents (if any) are open. Adjust activity levels or remove a layer if possible.

Reflective details are fading

Avoid harsh detergents and high heat when washing and drying. Follow the specific care instructions for washing and drying to preserve the reflective elements.
