Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
It features a 2000mm waterproof rating and taped seams, which are highly effective against light to moderate rain and showers.
Can I put this in the tumble dryer?
It is recommended to air dry the jacket to preserve the integrity of the taped seams and technical fabric.
Is the jacket warm enough for winter?
The jacket is a waterproof shell. For winter use, it should be worn over insulating layers like a fleece or sweater.
What is ripstop fabric?
Ripstop is a woven fabric that uses a special reinforcing technique to make it resistant to tearing and ripping.
How do I choose the right size?
The sizes are grouped by age (e.g., 2-3, 3-4). We recommend checking your child's current clothing fit to ensure room for layering underneath.
Troubleshooting
Water appears to be soaking through after time
The DWR coating may have worn off; wash the jacket and apply a fresh waterproofing treatment to restore beading.
Zip feels stuck or difficult to move
Ensure no fabric is caught in the track and gently clean the teeth of the zipper with a soft brush to remove any dirt or grit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep the jacket in top condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can strip the waterproof coating.
- Drying: Air dry the jacket naturally. Avoid high heat from tumble dryers, which can damage the taped seams and technical fabric.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before packing it away to prevent mildew.
- Maintenance: If the water-beading property of the fabric begins to fade after heavy use, consider using a specialized DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray to refresh its performance.
