Product Information
Full details
The Mountain Warehouse Seasons Watercolour Padded Jacket is designed for active kids who need reliable warmth and weather protection during outdoor adventures. It offers an excellent balance of insulation and weight thanks to its microfibre fill and water-resistant DWR finish, making it an ideal layer for unpredictable transition-season weather. While it provides fantastic comfort and style, parents should note that it is water-resistant rather than fully waterproof, meaning it is better suited for light drizzles than heavy, sustained rain.

FAQs
Is this jacket machine washable?
Yes, it can be machine washed on a gentle, cool cycle. We recommend zipping it up before washing.
Will this keep my child dry in heavy rain?
The jacket is water-resistant, not waterproof. It is designed to withstand light showers but will soak through in heavy or continuous rain.
Does it have a hood?
Yes, it features an integrated, padded hood for extra warmth and protection from the wind.
Can I use fabric softener when washing?
No, it is best to avoid fabric softeners, as they can damage the DWR (water-repellent) coating on the jacket.
Is the fit true to size?
The jacket follows standard children's sizing guidelines. If you plan on wearing thick sweaters underneath, you may want to consider sizing up.
Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak into the fabric instead of beading off
The DWR finish has likely worn off. Use a specialized DWR re-proofing spray or wash-in treatment to restore water repellency.
The jacket looks flat after washing
Tumble dry the jacket on low heat with clean tennis balls to agitate the microfibre fill and restore its loft.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the most out of your jacket requires proper care to maintain the water-resistant coating and the loft of the insulation:
- Cleaning: Machine wash on a gentle, cool cycle. Avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR finish.
- Drying: Air dry naturally or tumble dry on a very low heat setting. If tumble drying, add a couple of clean tennis balls to help fluff up the microfibre insulation.
- Storage: Hang the jacket on a sturdy hanger to maintain its shape. Avoid compressing the jacket under heavy items for long periods, as this can flatten the quilted fill.
- Compatibility: The jacket layers well under heavier winter coats for extra warmth but is best suited as an outer layer for standard daily activities.
