Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
It is water-resistant, meaning it will repel light moisture and rain, but it is not fully waterproof for heavy, sustained downpours.
Can I put this in the tumble dryer?
Yes, it can be tumble dried on a low heat setting, though air drying is recommended to extend the life of the materials.
What age group is this size 7-8 for?
This size is designed for children typically aged 7 to 8 years old, but please consult the specific sizing guide for measurements.
Is the hood detachable?
No, the hood is fixed to the neckline for extra protection against the wind.
How warm is the microfibre filling?
The microfibre filling is designed to provide excellent insulation for standard autumn and winter conditions without the weight of traditional down.
Troubleshooting
Water-resistant finish seems less effective
Over time, the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating can wear off. You can refresh it using a commercially available spray-on DWR treatment.
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Clean any debris or lint from the zip track and ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth. A small amount of candle wax can be rubbed on the teeth to lubricate the mechanism.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Mountain Warehouse jacket, adhere to these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can compromise the water-resistant coating.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If using a tumble dryer, select a low-heat setting to avoid damaging the synthetic microfibre insulation.
- Storage: Hang the jacket in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain the loft of the padding.
- Compatibility: The jacket layers well under a heavier waterproof outer coat during sub-zero temperatures, or over a thin fleece for mild autumn days.
