FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, the jacket has a water-repellent finish, which means it can resist light rain or splashes. It is not fully waterproof and will not provide adequate protection in heavy or prolonged rainfall.
How do I wash the jacket?
Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle using a liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softener. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on low heat with tennis balls to restore loft, or air dry flat.
What is Warmloft insulation?
Warmloft is a synthetic insulation designed to mimic the warmth and loft of down feathers while remaining effective even when damp. It provides excellent thermal insulation without adding significant bulk.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
The jacket provides good warmth for its weight, making it suitable for cool to moderately cold conditions. For extreme cold, it's best used as a mid-layer beneath a more insulated or waterproof outer shell.
What are the Extol Stretch panels for?
These panels are made from a more flexible material and are strategically placed (often under the arms and on the sides) to allow for a greater range of motion, making the jacket comfortable for active children.
How do I re-apply the water-repellent finish?
After washing and drying, you can apply a specific DWR spray or wash-in treatment according to the product's instructions. This helps to maintain the jacket's ability to shed water.
What sizes are available?
This jacket is available in various kids' sizes, including UK size 3-4 years, as indicated by the product information.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels stiff or less puffy after washing.
Tumble dry the jacket on a low heat setting with one or two clean tennis balls. The balls will help to break up the insulation and restore its loft and warmth.
Water repellency seems reduced.
Wash the jacket according to care instructions and then re-apply a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment. Ensure the jacket is clean before applying the treatment.
Zipper is difficult to move.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to free any obstruction. If the zipper remains stiff, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the teeth.
Fit seems too snug or restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The Extol Stretch panels are designed for flexibility, but if the main body of the jacket is too tight, it may hinder movement. Consider a size up if layering thicker items underneath is a priority.
