FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The jacket is designed to be waterproof and water-repellent, offering good protection against rain. However, for prolonged exposure to heavy downpours, additional rain gear might be considered.
What is the main material of the jacket?
The jacket is made from 100% polyamide.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash at 40°C using liquid detergent. Do not bleach, iron, or use fabric softener. Tumble dry on a low heat setting. It is recommended to wash separately.
Can this jacket be worn in cold weather?
The jacket is lightweight and primarily designed for water protection. It can be layered over warmer clothing like fleeces for added insulation in cooler weather, but it does not provide significant insulation on its own.
How does the packaway feature work?
The jacket is designed to be folded down into a compact size, making it easy to store in a backpack or bag for convenience when not in use.
What does 'grown-on hood' mean?
'Grown-on hood' means the hood is permanently attached to the jacket, rather than being detachable.
What sizes are available?
This specific variant is for size 2-3 years. Other sizes may be available in different color options.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer repelling water effectively
The water-repellent finish may have worn off. Re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment after washing and drying, following the product's instructions. Ensure the jacket is clean before applying.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Ensure no debris is caught in the zipper. Lubricate with a silicone-based lubricant or a graphite pencil if necessary.
Hood is not staying up securely
Ensure the elasticated hood edge is not stretched out. Check for any damage to the elastic. The design relies on a snug fit, so ensure the appropriate size has been selected.
