FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

The Perlino is a softshell designed for wind resistance and breathability. While it can handle light mist, it is not waterproof and should not be relied upon for heavy rain.

Can this be worn as a base layer?

It is generally better suited as a mid-layer or outer layer. You would typically wear a moisture-wicking base layer underneath for optimal comfort.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the specific size guide provided, but generally, size 9-10 (M) is designed to fit children within that age bracket. If you plan on layering heavily underneath, consider the intended fit.

Does it have a hood?

The Perlino is typically designed without a hood to maintain a sleek, versatile profile for layering.

Can I wash this in a standard washing machine?

Yes, machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or heavy detergents.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels less wind-resistant over time

Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and body oils can clog the breathability of technical fabrics, or re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment if the outer surface begins to wet out.

Fabric snagged on outdoor obstacles

Use small, sharp scissors to carefully trim any loose threads, but do not pull them as this can expand the snag in the knit structure.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent wind resistance for cool weather
  • Highly flexible material for unrestricted movement
  • Durable enough for active outdoor play
  • Works well as both a mid-layer and a light outer jacket
  • Easy to clean synthetic materials

Cons

  • Not intended for heavy rain or storms
  • Polyester-elastane blend may hold odors if not washed properly
  • Limited to cool and windy rather than extreme cold protection

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This jacket requires no technical setup; it is ready to wear immediately. To ensure longevity, always follow the care label instructions. Generally, you should machine wash the jacket in cold water on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, as these can compromise the performance of the technical fabric. Tumble dry on a low setting or hang to dry. Given the polyester construction, the jacket is quick-drying and resistant to wrinkling, making it easy to maintain after a day of rough play.
