Full details

Built with a seam-sealed DryVent 2L shell, it excels at keeping moisture out while remaining breathable during active play, though the minimalist design lacks internal insulation, making it best suited for layering in variable conditions.

FAQs

Is this jacket machine washable?

Yes, it can be machine washed. Please follow the care label instructions and avoid harsh detergents or softeners.

Does this jacket have an insulation layer?

No, it is a waterproof shell designed to be lightweight and breathable. We recommend layering clothes underneath for added warmth.

Is the hood adjustable?

The hood features an elasticated rain-guard tunnel to provide a secure fit without needing manual toggles.

Are the pockets waterproof?

The hand pockets are secure-zip, designed to keep items safe, but they are not fully waterproof, so electronic devices should be kept in a dry bag.

What is the DWR finish?

DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent, which is a coating applied to the outer fabric to make water bead up and roll off.

Troubleshooting

Water appears to soak into the fabric instead of beading off

The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the jacket and tumble dry it on low heat, or re-apply a DWR spray treatment.

Moisture buildup inside the jacket

While breathable, the jacket cannot release sweat if the humidity inside is too high. Ensure the wearer is not overdressed underneath.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Fully waterproof and seam-sealed construction
  • Breathable fabric prevents overheating during play
  • Highly visible with reflective sleeve detailing
  • Includes a chin guard for comfort against the zipper

Cons

  • No internal lining or insulation for extreme cold
  • Requires layering for use in winter temperatures
  • Anorak style may be harder to put on than full-zip jackets

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your DryVent shell, follow these maintenance guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Machine wash in warm water using a mild, technical-specific detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting to help reactivate the DWR finish of the outer fabric.
  3. Storage: Always ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing it in a closet to prevent mold or moisture buildup.
  4. Identification: Utilize the provided ID label to write your child's name, ensuring the jacket stays with its owner during activities.
