FAQs
Is this set machine washable?
Yes, it is recommended to machine wash on a gentle cycle with cool water and air dry.
What does a 1500mm waterproof rating mean?
It means the fabric can withstand 1500mm of water pressure over a 24-hour period, which is sufficient for light to moderate rain showers.
Can the hood be removed?
The jacket features a packaway hood design that stores neatly into the collar.
Are the trousers elasticated at the waist?
Yes, the trousers are designed as pull-ons for easy wear and feature a comfortable elasticated waist.
Is the material PFC-free?

Will this keep my child dry in a heavy storm?
This set is rated for general outdoor use and light-to-moderate rain. For heavy, prolonged downpours, a higher waterproof rating might be required.
Troubleshooting
Water appears to soak into the fabric
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may need reactivating or cleaning; wash according to instructions and air dry to reset the coating.
Condensation builds up inside the jacket
Ensure the child is not over-layering; the breathable nylon works best when there is adequate airflow between the skin and the garment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Pakka set, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle cycle with cool water. Avoid harsh detergents or bleach.
- Drying: Always air dry in a well-ventilated area. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can damage the DWR coating.
- Storage: Ensure the garment is completely dry before folding it into the storage bag to prevent mildew or odor buildup.
- Compatibility: The jacket and trousers are sized to be worn over regular clothing, such as school uniforms or base layers. If planning to layer heavily in winter, consider the extra volume needed.
