Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
No complex setup is required. Simply unpackage the jacket and it's ready to wear. Its reversible nature means you can choose which side to wear out based on preference or conditions.
Compatibility
This jacket is designed for children, specifically sized for 7-8 years old (UK sizing). It is compatible with a range of outdoor and casual clothing, serving as a versatile mid-layer or outer layer depending on the temperature. It's ideal for pairing with long-sleeved shirts, sweaters, and waterproof trousers for more extensive outdoor adventures.
Care
Proper care helps maintain the jacket's performance and longevity:
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colors. It is recommended to close all zippers before washing.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can impair the DWR finish and insulation.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. You can also hang dry for best results. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew and maintain insulation loft.
- Bleaching/Ironing: Do not bleach. Do not iron, as high heat can damage the fabric and DWR coating.
- DWR Maintenance: Over time, the DWR finish may wear off. If water no longer beads on the surface, you can restore its effectiveness using a DWR-restoring spray or wash-in product, following the product's instructions.
