FAQs

Is the jacket fully waterproof?

Yes, it features Isotex 10000 fabric and taped seams, providing a high level of waterproof protection against rain.

Can this be worn in cold weather?

It is primarily a shell jacket. For cold conditions, it is recommended to wear insulating layers underneath.

How do I choose the right size?

The jacket is sized by UK children's age ranges (e.g., 3-4). Refer to your child's current clothing size for the best fit.

Is the hood adjustable?

The jacket is designed with a protective hood to keep rain off the head during outdoor activities.

Does it have pockets?

Yes, the design typically includes functional pockets suitable for storing small trail essentials or warming hands.

Can I put this in the tumble dryer?

It is generally recommended to air dry to protect the waterproof membrane, though some technical jackets allow low-heat tumble drying if the care label permits.

Troubleshooting

Water soaking into the outer fabric

The DWR coating has likely worn off; wash the jacket and apply a fresh DWR re-proofer to restore water beading.

Child feels damp inside despite waterproof fabric

Check that base layers are synthetic or wool; cotton absorbs sweat and holds moisture against the skin, which can mimic a leak.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of the waterproof coating, follow these care instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a technical detergent designed for waterproof gear. Avoid using fabric softeners as they can strip the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating.
  2. Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent damaging the fabric membrane.
  3. Re-proofing: After significant use, if water stops beading on the surface, apply a DWR spray treatment to restore its performance.
  4. Storage: Always ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing it to prevent mildew or fabric degradation.
