FAQs
How should I wash the Nike Core Padded Jacket?
It is recommended to machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Close all zippers before washing. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Do not bleach or iron.
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The jacket features a water-resistant finish, which is effective for lighter rains and drizzles. It is not designed for heavy downpours and may become saturated in prolonged or intense rain.
What age range is 'infant' for this jacket?
While 'infant' generally refers to babies from birth up to about 12-24 months, it's best to consult Nike's specific infant sizing chart for accurate measurements corresponding to age, weight, and height to ensure the best fit.
Are there pockets on this jacket?
Yes, the jacket includes pockets designed for convenient storage of small essentials.
Can this jacket be tumble dried?
Yes, it can be tumble dried on a low setting. For best results and to preserve the water-resistant finish, air drying is often preferred.
Is the hood removable?
The description indicates a 'full-coverage hood' without mentioning detachability. Based on this, assume the hood is integrated and not removable.
What material is the jacket made from?
The jacket is made from 100% Polyester.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels too tight or too loose.
Verify the correct size using Nike's infant sizing chart. Infants grow quickly, so re-measure if unsure. A size up might be needed for layering.
Water resistance seems less effective over time.
Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can impair water-resistant properties. Avoid harsh detergents or fabric softeners during washing, as these can strip the finish. Re-treating with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray designed for outerwear can help restore performance if needed.
Zipper gets stuck or is difficult to operate.
Gently jiggle the zipper slider. Check for any fabric caught in the teeth and carefully remove it. Applying a small amount of zipper lubricant (like a graphite pencil tip) can improve smoothness. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Jacket doesn't seem warm enough in cold conditions.
This jacket is designed for cool temperatures and light rain. For colder conditions, ensure proper layering underneath the jacket, such as a fleece or wool base layer. It is not intended for extreme cold without additional insulation.
