FAQs

What type of weather is this jacket best suited for?

This jacket is ideal for changeable weather conditions, offering protection against light rain and wind while providing warmth. It functions well as a mid-layer or a standalone jacket in cool to mild temperatures.

Is the jacket fully waterproof?

No, the jacket features water-repellent panels, meaning it can shed light rain and splashes. It is not fully waterproof and should not be relied upon for heavy or prolonged downpours.

How do I determine the correct size for my child?

Refer to the size guide provided by the retailer, usually based on UK children's sizes. The product information specifies this jacket is size 7-8.

Can the jacket be worn in very cold weather?

For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer the Kielder IX Hybrid Jacket over a warm base layer and potentially a fleece to enhance its thermal performance.

Are there other colour options available?

Yes, this model is available in various colours. Please check the product listing for the full range of colours and sizes.

What is the benefit of the Extol Stretch inserts?

The Extol Stretch inserts are made of a highly flexible material and are placed in key areas to allow children complete freedom of movement, making it comfortable for active play.

Does the jacket have a hood?

Troubleshooting

Jacket no longer repelling water effectively

The water-repellent finish can diminish over time. Consider re-waterproofing the jacket using a suitable product designed for outdoor apparel after washing and drying.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use

Ensure the zipper is clean and free of debris. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.

Insulation appears clumpy after washing

Ensure the jacket is properly dried. Tumble drying on a low heat with clean tennis balls can help to redistribute and re-fluff the synthetic insulation.
