Using the Kirkhale Baffle Jacket is straightforward. Simply put it on as an outer layer. Ensure the full-length zip is fastened, and the hood is up for maximum warmth and protection.
This jacket is highly versatile and compatible with various outdoor and casual clothing. It pairs well over base layers or light fleeces for added warmth. Its design allows for unhindered movement, making it suitable for active play. It is designed for kids, with sizes available for various age groups, including the 5-6 year size.
Proper care will extend the life and performance of your jacket. Based on its material composition (polyester wadding, polyamide ripstop outer, polyester lining):
Washing: Generally, machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach.
Drying: It is recommended to air dry the jacket flat to maintain the loft and integrity of the synthetic insulation. Avoid high heat tumble drying, which can damage the fibres.
Storage: Store the jacket in a dry, well-ventilated area when not in use.
