Product Information

Full details

This Mountain Warehouse Polar Zone Printed Jacket & Salopettes Set is designed for active kids, offering warmth and water resistance for outdoor adventures. Its primary benefit is keeping children comfortable in various weather conditions. A potential consideration is that while water-resistant, it's not fully waterproof for prolonged heavy rain. This set includes a jacket with a fleece lining, elasticated hood and cuffs, and a full zip with stormflap, paired with matching salopettes, all made from 100% polyester with a PFC-free DWR finish.

FAQs

Is this set fully waterproof?

No, the set features a water-resistant DWR finish, which is effective against light rain and snow, but it is not fully waterproof for prolonged exposure to heavy downpours.

What is the DWR finish and why is it PFC-free?

DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. It's a coating applied to fabrics that makes water bead up and roll off. The PFC-free designation means it uses chemicals that are less harmful to the environment compared to traditional PFC-based treatments.

How warm is this set?

The set is designed to be insulating, featuring a polyester outer and a warm fleece lining, making it suitable for cold weather conditions.

Can I machine wash the jacket and salopettes?

Yes, you can machine wash them inside out at 30 degrees Celsius with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach.

What sizes are available?

This product is available in various kids' sizes. Please refer to the size guide for specific measurements. The example provided is for size 11-12 years.

Does the hood offer extra warmth?

Yes, the hood is elasticated and fleece-lined, providing extra warmth and a snugger fit around the head.

Are there pockets on the jacket?

Yes, the jacket includes two side pockets for carrying small items or keeping hands warm.

Troubleshooting

Water resistance seems reduced.

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may need to be reactivated or reapplied. Wash the garment and tumble dry on a low heat setting. If performance is still low, consider using a specific re-waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment for outdoor clothing.

Fleece lining feels matted or less soft.

Avoid using fabric softener during washing, as this can coat the fibers and reduce softness and insulation. Wash again using a mild detergent without softener and tumble dry on low heat.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to close.

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and allow to dry. You can then apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth for smoother operation.

Garment appears less vibrant after washing.

This can occur with dyed fabrics. Ensure you are washing the garment inside out and using a mild detergent. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This set requires no setup; it is ready to wear upon purchase.

Compatibility: Designed for children's outdoor activities. It can be worn over everyday clothing.

Care Instructions: To maintain the water-resistant finish and the integrity of the fleece lining, please follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash inside out at 30 degrees Celsius using a mild detergent. Do not use fabric softeners or bleach.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry away from direct heat sources. Avoid ironing.
  3. Re-waterproofing: For best results, periodically re-apply a water-repellent finish suitable for synthetic fabrics, following the product's instructions. This helps to restore the DWR treatment's effectiveness.
