Can this jacket be worn in cold weather?
The jacket is primarily designed for waterproofing and breathability. It is lightweight and can be layered over a warmer jumper or fleece for added warmth in colder temperatures.

The jacket features Isolite 15000 fabric and taped seams, offering good waterproofing for moderate rain. For extremely heavy or prolonged downpours, additional protection might be needed.
How do I maintain the waterproof features?

Troubleshooting
Jacket not fully waterproof after a few washes.
Ensure the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating is still effective. Re-apply a fabric-specific waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment according to product instructions.
Child feels clammy inside the jacket.
While the jacket is breathable, excessive exertion can still lead to some moisture buildup. Ensure the child is not overdressed underneath and that ventilation (if any) is open. Check that the fabric hasn't been compromised by harsh detergents.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. If it catches on fabric, carefully free it. Apply a small amount of wax (like a candle or lip balm) to the zipper teeth to improve glide. Ensure the fabric guard behind the zipper is properly aligned.
Jacket feels slightly damp after prolonged wear in heavy rain.
This jacket is designed for reliable waterproofing in moderate conditions. For extended periods in very heavy rain, some moisture may eventually penetrate. Consider a jacket with a higher hydrostatic head rating or more robust stormproofing for extreme weather.
