FAQs
What age group is this puddlesuit suitable for?
This puddlesuit is designed for kids and comes in various children's UK sizes, typically ranging from 1 year up to 5-6 years.
How waterproof is the ISOLITE 15000 fabric?
ISOLITE 15000 indicates a good level of waterproofness and breathability, suitable for keeping children dry in moderate to heavy rain and during active play.
Can this puddlesuit be worn in cold weather?
The puddlesuit provides excellent rain protection but is lightweight. For cold weather, it is recommended to layer warm clothing underneath, such as fleece or thermal wear.
How do I clean the puddlesuit?
You can machine wash the puddlesuit at 40°C using a mild liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry.
Is the hood detachable?
No, the hood is grown-on, meaning it is permanently attached to the suit for continuous head protection.
What is the main advantage of the taped seams?
Taped seams are sealed to prevent water from penetrating through the stitching, providing complete waterproof protection and durability.
Does the suit have a specific fit for comfort?
Yes, it features an elasticated waist and cuffs, which help to create a secure and comfortable fit, preventing wind and rain from entering the suit.
Troubleshooting
Suit feels damp inside after wear
This can be due to insufficient breathability or moisture from the wearer. Ensure the ISOLITE 15000 fabric isn't covered by thick, non-breathable layers underneath. Check that the garment was washed correctly (no fabric softener) and dried appropriately. If the issue persists, the waterproof coating might need a refresh using a suitable re-proofer.
Water seems to be leaking through seams
Although taped seams are designed for waterproofness, prolonged submersion or extreme pressure could potentially allow minimal water ingress. Ensure the taped seams are intact. If leakage is noticeable during normal use, contact customer support for potential defects.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently pull the zipper while trying to straighten the fabric around it. If it remains stiff, apply a small amount of wax (like a candle or beeswax) or a silicone-based lubricant along the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
Elasticated cuffs/waist lose their elasticity
Avoid high heat when drying the suit, as this can degrade elastic over time. If elasticity is significantly lost, it may indicate wear and tear, and replacement might be considered.
