The Berghaus Kids Kirkhale Baffle Jacket excels as a reliable outer layer for children in cooler and cold climates. Its primary function is to provide lightweight insulation and protection from everyday elements.
Winter Layering: Perfect as an outer jacket during mild winter days or as a mid-layer under a waterproof shell in harsher conditions.

Variable Weather: The DWR finish is effective for unexpected light rain or mist, ensuring your child stays comfortable and insulated even when the weather changes quickly. Water will bead up and roll off the surface, preventing the fabric from soaking through in light precipitation.
Comfort: The lightweight design and soft fabric ensure your child can move freely and comfortably without feeling restricted.
Warmth: The synthetic insulation traps body heat efficiently, providing consistent warmth in cool to cold temperatures.
Moisture Management: The DWR helps prevent the jacket from becoming waterlogged in light rain, maintaining its insulating properties.

Washing: Info needed: [Specific washing instructions for Polyester and DWR garments should be followed, typically a gentle cycle with a mild detergent (avoiding fabric softeners which can impair DWR).]
Drying: Info needed: [Specific drying instructions, often low heat tumble dry or air dry, to help reactivate DWR.]
Storage: Utilize the hanging hoop for easy storage. Store in a clean, dry place when not in use.
