Full details
This Mountain Warehouse Mogal Ski Jacket is designed for active children, offering excellent protection against snow and light rain. Its key benefit is its DWR finish, ensuring it's snowproof and water-resistant, perfect for winter activities. A potential consideration is that it's primarily designed for snow sports and may be warmer than a typical everyday jacket. This jacket features a 100% polyester construction, an all-over geometric print, and a comfortable fit with adjustable cuffs and a hooded neckline.

FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the DWR finish?
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish helps the jacket repel water and snow, keeping the wearer dry in wet or snowy conditions by causing moisture to bead up and roll off the fabric surface.
How do I know if the size 5-6 Years will fit?
The size 5-6 Years measures 24 inches. It is recommended to compare this measurement to your child's current jacket or use a measuring tape to ensure a proper fit, considering room for layering underneath.
Can this jacket be worn in very cold temperatures without additional layers?
This jacket is designed to be windproof and water-resistant, providing a good outer shell. For very cold temperatures, layering a warm base layer and an insulating mid-layer underneath is recommended for optimal warmth.
What type of pattern does the jacket have?
The jacket features an all-over geometric pattern.
Are there other color options available?
Yes, this jacket model is available in other colors, such as Blue.
How do I clean the snowskirt?
The snowskirt is part of the jacket and should be cleaned following the general care instructions for the jacket: machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with mild detergent and air dry or tumble dry on low heat.
Is the hood adjustable?
The jacket features a hooded neckline for warmth and protection. While the product description doesn't specify adjustability for the hood itself, the cuffs and overall fit are designed for secure wear.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer repelling water effectively
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Follow the care instructions to wash the jacket and then reapply a DWR treatment suitable for outdoor apparel. Ensure you use a product specifically designed for technical fabrics.
Zipper is sticking or difficult to move
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free the fabric. If the zipper is clean, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.
Child feels cold while wearing the jacket in snow
Ensure the jacket is zipped up completely and the hood is adjusted properly. Check that the adjustable cuffs are tightened snugly around gloves or wrists. Consider layering appropriate base and mid-layers beneath the jacket, as the jacket is designed to block external elements rather than generate heat itself.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket requires no setup; it is ready to wear straight out of the packaging. It is designed for children's outdoor winter wear. To maintain the performance of the DWR finish and the overall integrity of the jacket, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can clog the pores of technical fabrics and reduce breathability and water repellency.
- Rinsing: Ensure the jacket is thoroughly rinsed to remove all detergent residue.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to air dry. Do not use high heat, as it can damage the fabric and coatings.
- Re-waterproofing: For optimal performance, consider re-applying a DWR treatment periodically, especially after multiple washes or if you notice water is no longer beading on the surface. Follow the instructions on the DWR product.
