FAQs
Is this jumpsuit insulated for cold weather?
The Gelert Kids' All-Weather Waterproof Jumpsuit is designed for waterproofing and wind resistance. While it offers some protection, it is not heavily insulated. For very cold weather, layering additional warm clothing underneath is recommended.
How do I clean the jumpsuit?

What is the material of the jumpsuit?
The jumpsuit is made from 100% polyester, which provides durability and effective waterproofing.
Does the hood stay securely on?
Yes, the hood is elasticated for a snug fit, and the full-length zip with hook and loop tape closure helps to keep the suit sealed against the elements, including wind that might lift the hood.
What does the 'All-Weather' designation mean?
'All-Weather' indicates that the suit is designed to protect the wearer from rain, wind, and general damp conditions, keeping them dry and comfortable outdoors.

Troubleshooting
Jumpsuit is no longer waterproof
The waterproof coating may have degraded. Ensure the garment is washed according to care instructions and avoid high heat drying. Consider using a specialised re-waterproofing spray for outdoor clothing if the issue persists.
Zipper is difficult to close
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Ensure the zipper is straight before pulling. Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush if they appear dirty.
Elasticated cuffs/ankles are losing tightness
This can occur with prolonged wear and washing. Ensure the garment is not over-dried in a tumble dryer, as high heat can damage elastic. Gentle washing and air drying are recommended.
Child feels cold while wearing the suit
This suit is primarily for waterproofing, not heavy insulation. Layer appropriate clothing (e.g., fleece, thermal base layers) underneath for added warmth in colder conditions.
