Engineered with a 2,000mm water resistance rating and windproof construction, this set provides robust protection against rain and gusts, allowing for uninterrupted play.

FAQs
Is this suit machine washable?
Yes, but for optimal protection, use a gentle cycle with cool water and avoid bleach or fabric softeners.
Does the hood detach?
No, the hood is integrated into the design to ensure it stays in place and provides maximum protection against wind and rain.
Is the material breathable?
The suit is designed primarily for weather protection. While it is comfortable for general play, it is not highly breathable during intense physical exertion in warm weather.
What does the 2,000mm rating mean?
It means the fabric can withstand a water column of 2,000mm before moisture begins to penetrate, making it effective for light to moderate rain.
Can I dry this in the dryer?
No, high heat from a dryer can damage the waterproof coating and elastic components. Always air dry.
Troubleshooting
Water appears to be soaking through the fabric
The fabric may have residue or debris clogging the pores. Wipe the exterior clean with a damp cloth and ensure it is not being exposed to high-pressure water.
Difficulty zipping the front
Check the inner storm flap to ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth of the zip. Clear any mud or sand from the zip track.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the water-resistant coating, it is recommended to wipe the suit clean with a damp cloth after use rather than frequent machine washing. If a full wash is required, use a gentle cycle with cold water and avoid harsh detergents or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the waterproof material. Always hang the suit to air dry naturally in a shaded area; avoid using a tumble dryer or direct heat sources like radiators, as high temperatures can damage the fabric structure. The suit is designed to fit children size 5-6; if you plan to layer heavily underneath, consider whether the fit allows for sufficient range of motion.
