FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for very cold winter weather?
The Antora Jacket provides excellent protection from rain and wind, but for very cold winter conditions, it is designed to be layered with insulating clothing underneath for added warmth.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash cold with like colors using powdered detergent. Avoid fabric softener and bleach. Tumble dry on low heat. Do not iron or dry clean.
What does 'DryVent 2L' mean?
DryVent 2L refers to a two-layer technology that is waterproof, windproof, and breathable, designed to keep you dry from the inside out.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The jacket features secure-zip hand pockets, which help to keep contents dry from rain and splashes, though they are not designed for submersion.
What is the purpose of the reflective bar?
The reflective bar on the sleeves is designed to increase visibility in low-light conditions, enhancing safety for children outdoors.
Does this jacket have a hood?
Yes, it features an attached three-piece hood with an elasticated rain guard tunnel for a snug and protective fit.
What is the fit like for a 5-6 year old?
The jacket is designed for children's sizing. For a 5-6 UK size, it typically fits children within that age and build range, allowing for some layering underneath.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment according to product instructions after washing and drying the jacket.
Zipper is difficult to move.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free the fabric. If necessary, apply a small amount of wax or graphite lubricant to the zipper teeth.
Jacket feels stiff after washing.
Ensure you are following the care instructions precisely, especially regarding fabric softener and drying. Tumble drying on low heat can help restore loft and softness.
