Extended Product Information

FAQs

What age group is this jacket intended for?

This specific listing is for size 7-8 Years. The product line includes sizes for children from age 5-6 up to 14 years.

Is the jacket fully waterproof or water-resistant?

The jacket is fully waterproof thanks to the Isotex 20000 stretch fabric, taped seams, and a durable water repellent (DWR) finish.

Can this jacket be worn in very cold weather?

The jacket provides excellent protection against rain and wind. For very cold temperatures, layering with warm mid-layers like fleece or down is recommended.

How should I clean the jacket to maintain its performance?

Machine wash at 30°C with a mild liquid detergent, rinse thoroughly, and tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and powder detergents.

What does Isotex 20000 mean?

Isotex 20000 refers to the fabric's waterproof rating (20,000mm) and breathability rating (20,000 g/m²/24 hours), indicating high levels of protection from rain and comfort through moisture management.

Are there reflective elements for safety?

Yes, the jacket features 360 reflective trims to enhance visibility in low-light conditions.

Does the hood offer good protection?

Yes, it is a grown-on technical hood with a high collar and elastication for adjustable coverage against wind and rain.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is leaking or no longer repelling water.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket and re-apply a suitable DWR re-proofer spray or wash-in treatment following product instructions.

Jacket feels clammy or less breathable.

Ensure the jacket is clean. Wash with a mild liquid detergent and rinse thoroughly. Fabric softener and powder detergents can clog the membrane, reducing breathability.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to use.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the teeth. Avoid using wax, which can attract dirt.

Jacket has an odor.

Wash the jacket according to the care instructions, ensuring an extra rinse cycle is used to remove all detergent. Ensure the jacket is fully dry before storing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This jacket requires no specific setup; it is ready to wear out of the packaging. It is designed as outerwear and is compatible with regular children's clothing layers underneath.

Care Instructions: To maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable properties, follow these guidelines:

Washing: Machine wash at 30°C (85°F) using a mild liquid detergent. Do not use powder detergents, bleach, or fabric softeners.
Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly. It is recommended to run an extra rinse cycle to remove all detergent residue.
Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. Alternatively, hang to dry away from direct heat sources.
Re-proofing: To restore the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish after washing, apply a specific re-proofer spray or wash-in product according to the product's instructions, typically after drying.
Ironing: Do not iron. If necessary, a cool iron can be used over the main fabric, avoiding any printed areas or reflective trims.
