The Berghaus Kids' Kirkhale Baffle Jacket is built for versatility and resilience in various outdoor settings.
Everyday Outdoor Wear: This jacket excels for daily use, whether it's for the school run, playing in the local park, or casual family walks. Its warmth and durability make it a reliable choice for cooler days.
Active Adventures: For more energetic pursuits like hiking, camping trips, or exploring woodland trails, the breathable fabric helps manage moisture, while the ripstop exterior can withstand scrapes and snags.
Winter Layering: In colder climates or during winter sports, the jacket performs excellently as a warm mid-layer under a waterproof outer shell, providing a crucial insulation boost without excessive bulk.
Protection from Elements: The fixed hood and elasticated edges offer immediate protection when sudden gusts of wind or light rain appear, keeping your child's head and core shielded from the elements. The zipped pockets are perfect for securing snacks, a small compass, or keeping little hands warm.
Ensure the jacket fits comfortably, allowing for a base layer and a mid-layer if needed without restricting movement. It's crucial to consult the Berghaus size guide for accurate measurements to select the best size for your child, especially given varying growth rates.
This jacket is a versatile piece for a child's outdoor wardrobe. It pairs excellently with waterproof trousers, warm hats, gloves, and sturdy outdoor footwear for complete cold-weather protection. It's suitable for a wide range of activities and climates where warmth and protection from light elements are important, from crisp autumn days to mild winter conditions.
Proper care will maintain the jacket's warmth and longevity.
Washing: Machine wash your jacket on a gentle cycle using a mild, non-biological detergent. It's best to zip up all pockets and turn the jacket inside out before washing.
Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting, preferably with a few clean tennis balls to help re-loft the synthetic insulation and prevent clumping. Alternatively, air dry flat, turning occasionally to ensure even drying.
Avoid: Do not use bleach, fabric softeners, or dry clean the jacket, as these can damage the insulation and fabric integrity. Do not iron. Specific care label instructions should always be followed first.
