Product Information

Full details

This guide is for parents and guardians looking for a durable, waterproof jacket for children aged 5-6. The key benefit is reliable protection from rain and wind, ensuring kids stay dry and comfortable during outdoor activities. A potential caveat is that the jacket is designed for wet weather, and may be less insulated for colder, dry conditions. The Antora Rain Jacket features a DryVent 2L shell for waterproofing and breathability, a non-PFC DWR finish, a full-length zip with a draft flap, secure-zip pockets, and an attached hood with an elasticated rain guard.

Is the jacket truly waterproof?

What does 'non-PFC DWR' mean?

How do I ensure the best fit?

Ensure the jacket can be comfortably worn over other layers of clothing without being too tight, allowing for freedom of movement.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer beading water effectively.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Follow the care instructions to reapply a DWR treatment after washing and drying.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a toothbrush and mild soap. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to the zipper teeth if necessary.

Jacket feels damp inside after strenuous activity.
