Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
No complex setup is required. Simply put the jacket on your child over their regular clothing. The integral hood can be pulled up as needed for head protection.
Compatibility
This jacket is designed for children aged 9-10 years and is suitable for both boys and girls (`Unisex`). It's intended to be worn as an outer layer over warm clothing, making it compatible with various base and mid-layers depending on the temperature. Coordinating waterproof trousers are sold separately if a full suit is desired.
Care
Proper care will help maintain the jacket's waterproof properties and extend its lifespan. The jacket is made from `Polyester`.
- Washing: Always check the care label inside the jacket for specific instructions. Generally, waterproof polyester jackets should be machine washed on a cool or gentle cycle (around 30°C) using a technical outerwear cleaner or a small amount of liquid detergent. Avoid using fabric softener, as it can impair the waterproof finish.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry, as high heat can damage the waterproof coating. Air dry the jacket naturally, ideally in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Storage: Store the jacket clean and dry in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing it tightly for long periods to preserve its shape and waterproof integrity.
- Re-waterproofing: Over time, the durable water repellent (DWR) finish may wear off. If water starts soaking into the fabric rather than beading off, you may need to re-treat the jacket with a DWR spray or wash-in product, following the product's instructions.
