FAQs
What is the primary purpose of this jacket?
The Antora Rain Jacket is primarily designed to provide protection from rain and wind, keeping children dry and comfortable during outdoor activities in wet weather.
Is this jacket warm enough for winter?
This jacket is a shell and offers minimal insulation. It is best suited for rain and wind protection. For colder winter conditions, layering underneath with warmer clothing like fleece or down is recommended.
How should I clean the jacket?
Machine wash cold with like colors using a powder detergent. Tumble dry on low heat. Avoid liquid detergents, fabric softeners, and bleach.
What does 'recycled polyester' mean?
Recycled polyester is made from post-consumer plastic products, like discarded bottles. Using recycled materials reduces waste and the need for virgin resources.
Are the pockets secure?
Yes, the jacket features secure-zip hand pockets, meaning they have zippers to keep items safely stored.
How can I improve the water repellency if it wears off?
You can reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish by washing and then tumble drying the jacket on low heat. Specialized DWR re-treatment sprays or washes can also be used.
What age group is this specific jacket for?
This particular jacket is sized for children UK 3-4 years.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer water-repellent
Wash the jacket using a powder detergent and then tumble dry on low heat for 20-30 minutes to reactivate the DWR finish. For a stronger effect, use a DWR re-treatment spray or wash.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Gently rub the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil (the lead) or a bar of soap. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.
Minor stains on the fabric
Spot clean stains with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive rubbing that could damage the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket requires no assembly and is ready to wear out of the package. It is designed for general outdoor use and is compatible with most children's clothing for layering. To maintain the jacket's performance and longevity:
- Washing: Machine wash cold with like colors. Use a powder detergent.
- Detergents: Avoid liquid detergents and fabric softeners, as they can clog the fabric's pores and reduce water repellency.
- Bleaching: Do not use bleach.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or line dry. Do not iron.
- Water Repellency: If the water repellency diminishes over time, you can restore it by tumble drying the jacket on a low heat setting for 20-30 minutes after washing. For a more robust restoration, consider using a specialized DWR (Durable Water Repellent) re-treatment spray or wash, following the product's instructions.
