FAQs
Is this jacket warm enough for winter?
This is a waterproof shell, not a heavy insulated winter coat. It is best used as an outer layer over warm sweaters or fleece.
Can I put this jacket in the dryer?
Yes, tumble drying on a low heat setting is recommended as it helps to reactivate the DWR waterproof finish.
What does PFC-free mean?
PFC-free means the water-repellent coating is made without perfluorinated chemicals, which are considered better for the environment.
How do I remove the hood?
The hood is attached via a snap or button system; simply unfasten the attachments to remove it from the collar.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The pockets have stud closures for security, but they are not fully waterproof, so keep electronics or paper items inside a sealed bag.
Troubleshooting
Water soaking into the outer fabric
The DWR finish may be wearing off. Clean the jacket and re-apply a DWR spray treatment to restore water repellency.
Moisture buildup inside the jacket
While breathable, condensation can occur if the child is wearing non-breathable synthetic layers underneath. Use moisture-wicking base layers for better temperature control.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the lifespan of the jacket, ensure the hood is properly snapped into place before use. The jacket is designed as a standard fit, intended to accommodate mid-layer garments such as fleece jackets or sweaters underneath. For maintenance, machine wash the garment on a gentle cycle using a technical detergent designed for waterproof fabrics. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR coating. To restore the water-repellent properties over time, tumble dry on a low heat setting or air dry, then apply a heat source like a warm iron (if care labels permit) to reactivate the waterproof treatment.
