FAQs

Can I put this in the tumble dryer?

Does it have a hood?
Yes, it features a grown-on technical hood with a high collar for maximum protection.
Is the material stretchy?

How do I label the jacket for school?
The jacket comes with an internal printed name label ready for you to fill in.
Troubleshooting
Water soaking through the surface fabric
The DWR finish has likely worn off. Clean the garment and re-apply a DWR spray treatment to restore water beading.
Condensation building up inside
Ensure the child is not wearing excessive bulky layers beneath, which can trap moisture. The jacket is breathable but functions best when moisture can escape through proper layering.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the jacket's waterproof properties, it is essential to follow specific care instructions. Always close all zippers before washing to protect the hardware and the fabric. Use a dedicated technical gear cleaner rather than standard laundry detergent, as standard soap can strip the durable water repellent (DWR) finish. Avoid fabric softeners entirely. To reactivate the DWR finish after cleaning, you can tumble dry the garment on a low, gentle heat setting, as the heat helps the finish settle back into the fabric fibers. For compatibility, this jacket is designed to be worn over fleece layers or base layers to customize the level of warmth needed based on the season.
