Troubleshooting
Suit is no longer waterproof
Ensure the suit is clean and free from dirt. Reapply a waterproofing treatment specifically designed for outdoor clothing. Check seams for any damage.
Child feels cold while wearing the suit
While the suit offers good insulation, layer additional warm clothing underneath for colder temperatures. Ensure the hood is securely attached and covering the head.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to close
Gently clean the zipper teeth to remove any debris. Apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to the zipper track. Ensure the fabric storm flap is not caught in the zipper.
