FAQs
What does the 5000mm waterproof rating mean?
A 5000mm rating indicates a good level of waterproofing. It means the fabric can withstand the pressure of a 5000mm water column before water penetrates, making it suitable for moderate to heavy rain.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The jacket provides excellent protection against wind and rain. For very cold weather, it's recommended to layer a warm fleece or jumper underneath for insulation.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash at 40°C with similar colours, inside out. Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean. Tumble dry on a low heat setting.
Can this jacket be worn by both boys and girls?
Yes, the jacket is designed as unisex, with a plain navy colour and a functional design suitable for any child.
What is the main benefit of the taped seams?
Taped seams prevent water from leaking through the stitching holes, significantly enhancing the jacket's overall waterproof performance.
Does the hood detach?
No, the hood is integral, meaning it is permanently attached to the jacket for maximum protection against the elements.
Are the cuffs adjustable?
The cuffs are elasticated to provide a snug fit that helps keep out wind and rain, but they are not adjustable with Velcro or buttons.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is not fully waterproof after washing.
Ensure the jacket was washed according to care instructions, especially avoiding fabric softener, which can affect waterproofing. Consider re-applying a suitable waterproofing treatment if performance has diminished over time.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free any obstruction. You can also apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or wax to the zipper teeth to help it glide smoothly.
Child feels cold while wearing the jacket.
This jacket is designed for waterproofing and windproofing, not heavy insulation. Layering a fleece or jumper underneath will provide additional warmth in colder temperatures.
