FAQs
Is this jumpsuit suitable for very cold weather?
This jumpsuit is designed primarily for waterproofing and protection against rain. While it offers some insulation, it is not a heavy-duty winter suit. For very cold weather, layering underneath is recommended.
How do I know if I've chosen the right size?
Refer to the Gelert sizing chart for children's UK sizes. Measure your child's height and chest circumference. If your child is between sizes, consider the larger size for a more comfortable fit, especially if they will be wearing layers underneath.
Can I tumble dry the jumpsuit?
Yes, you can tumble dry the jumpsuit on a low heat setting. High heat may damage the fabric's waterproof properties, so always use the lowest setting available.
What is the main benefit of the elasticated fittings?
The elasticated waist, cuffs, and ankles create a snug fit that helps to keep water and wind out, ensuring your child stays dry and comfortable during outdoor play.
How should I clean the animal print?
The print is integrated into the fabric during manufacturing. Standard machine washing according to the care instructions will maintain the print's integrity. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning methods.
Is the hood adjustable?
The hood is designed with a snug fit and a lining for warmth. While it is not explicitly stated as adjustable, the elasticated opening helps to keep it securely in place.
What does the 'All-Weather' description mean?
'All-Weather' refers to its capability to protect against typical outdoor conditions like rain and wind. It is best suited for moderate wet weather rather than extreme snow or blizzard conditions.
Troubleshooting
Jumpsuit feels tight or restrictive.
Ensure the correct size has been selected. Consult the size chart and consider sizing up if between sizes or if a looser fit is preferred.
Water seems to be seeping through.
Check that all elasticated cuffs, ankles, and waist adjustments are snug. Ensure the main zip and hook and loop tape are fully secured.
Reduced water repellency over time.
Wash the garment according to care instructions, using a mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners. Consider reapplying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish if performance significantly degrades.
Hook and loop tape losing effectiveness.
Gently clean the hook and loop tape with a stiff brush or lint roller to remove debris that may be preventing it from sticking.
