This specific size (1-2) is generally suitable for infants and toddlers within that age and size range. Please refer to the size chart for precise measurements.

Is the suit warm enough for winter?

The suit is primarily designed for waterproofing and windproofing. For cold winter conditions, layering is essential. Wear warm thermal layers or a fleece underneath.

How do I clean the suit?

Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle using a technical wash. Do not use fabric softener or biological detergents. Air dry only.

Can I put this suit in the washing machine?

Yes, it can be machine washed on a gentle cycle at 30°C, following specific care instructions for technical outerwear.

What does Storm Shield Technology do?

Storm Shield Technology ensures the suit is fully waterproof, preventing rain and water from penetrating the fabric, while also being breathable to allow moisture vapor to escape and keep the wearer comfortable.

How should I re-waterproof the suit?

Use a dedicated wash-in or spray-on re-waterproofing product for outdoor apparel. Always follow the specific instructions provided with the re-waterproofing product and clean the suit beforehand.

Are there other colors available?

This particular product listing is for the pink variant. Other color options may be available under different product listings or sizes.

Troubleshooting

Suit is no longer fully waterproof.

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may have worn off. Clean the suit according to care instructions and reapply a suitable re-waterproofing treatment.

Child feels damp inside the suit.

This could be due to insufficient breathability (e.g., heavy sweating) or inadequate ventilation. Ensure the suit is layered appropriately for the temperature and consider using a more breathable base layer. Check that the fabric is clean, as dirt can impede breathability.

Zippers or fastenings are stiff.

Gently clean the zipper area with a damp cloth to remove dirt. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or wax specifically designed for zippers.

Suit has minor leaks at seams.

Ensure all seams are properly taped. If leaks persist, a seam sealer product designed for outdoor gear may be applied, following product instructions.
