FAQs
Is the jacket fully waterproof?

Does it have a hood?
Yes, it features a fixed, elasticated hood for a snug fit and added protection from the wind.
How do I ensure the child remains visible?
The jacket comes with integrated 360-degree reflective trims, which catch light in low-visibility environments.
Can I put it in the dryer?
Yes, use a low heat setting and consider using dryer balls or tennis balls to keep the padding lofted.
Is the jacket unisex?
Yes, the cut and styling are designed to be suitable for all children.
What is the primary material used?

Troubleshooting
Water begins soaking into the fabric instead of beading up.
The water-repellent finish has likely worn off; use a spray-on or wash-in re-proofer to restore the performance.
The insulation feels clumped after washing.
Tumble dry the jacket on a cool setting with clean tennis balls to fluff the synthetic fibers back into place.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a technical padded garment, proper care will extend its lifespan. To maintain the water-repellent finish, it is recommended to wash the jacket using a specialized tech-wash detergent rather than standard biological powders which can strip the treatment. When drying, tumble dry on a low setting with a clean tennis ball to help redistribute the synthetic insulation evenly. Always ensure the zippers are closed before placing the jacket in the washing machine to prevent snagging on other items.
