FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
The Moncler Enfant New Aubert jacket features a nylon laqué exterior which is water-resistant and wind-resistant, providing protection against light rain and snow. However, it is not designed to be fully waterproof for prolonged exposure to heavy downpours.
How do I choose the correct size for my child?
Sizes are typically indicated by age range (e.g., 12/18M, 2Y). It is best to consult the brand's specific size chart, usually found on the product page, and compare it with your child's current height and weight. Allow for some room for layering underneath.
Can I machine wash this jacket?
Yes, machine washing is generally possible, but it requires specific care. Always check the care label inside the jacket first. Typically, it should be washed cold on a delicate cycle with a mild, down-specific detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals and fabric softeners.
What is 'down filling'?
Down filling refers to the soft, fluffy feathers found under the outer feathers of ducks or geese. It's an excellent natural insulator, known for its superior warmth-to-weight ratio and ability to trap air, providing warmth without significant bulk.
How do I dry the jacket to keep it fluffy?
After washing, tumble dry the jacket on a very low heat setting. Add 2-3 clean tennis balls or dryer balls to the dryer. These will help to break up the wet down clumps and re-fluff the insulation. Be patient, as this process can take several hours, and ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing.
Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold temperatures?
The jacket provides excellent warmth for typical cold weather conditions due to its high-quality down filling. For extreme or sub-zero temperatures, it is crucial to layer effectively underneath the jacket with appropriate thermal base and mid-layers to ensure your child stays warm and protected.
Troubleshooting
Jacket appears flat or less puffy after washing.
This is common with down jackets. Tumble dry on low heat with 2-3 clean tennis balls or dryer balls. The balls help to agitate and redistribute the down, restoring its loft. This process may need to be repeated, and the jacket should be completely dry.
Zipper gets stuck or is difficult to move.
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (like zipper wax or a graphite pencil lead) to the teeth to help it glide smoothly. Avoid forcing the zipper, as this can cause damage.
Small feathers are coming out of the jacket.
Some minimal feather migration is normal for down jackets. If it's excessive, check for small punctures or loose stitching. Gently push the feathers back into the jacket from the inside if possible, rather than pulling them out.
Jacket does not seem to keep my child warm enough.
Ensure the jacket is sized correctly and not too large, which can create cold air pockets. Consider layering appropriately underneath the jacket for the given weather conditions. The jacket provides insulation, but extreme cold may require additional base and mid-layers.

Care Instructions
Proper care is crucial to maintain the jacket's loft, warmth, and appearance. Always refer to the care label inside the garment for specific instructions, as details can vary.
- Washing: Typically, down jackets require gentle washing. It is often recommended to machine wash cold on a delicate cycle with a mild, down-specific detergent. Avoid using fabric softener or bleach, as these can damage the down and nylon fibers.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with a few clean tennis balls or dryer balls. These help to break up down clumps and restore the jacket's loft. This process can take several hours, and the jacket should be completely dry before storage to prevent mildew.
- Stains: For minor spots, clean immediately with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh scrubbing which can damage the fabric.
- Storage: Store the jacket in a cool, dry place. Do not compress it tightly for long periods, as this can flatten the down. Hang it loosely in a breathable garment bag if possible.
