FAQs

What makes the DryVent 2L shell effective?

DryVent 2L is a technology that uses a polyurethane coating or a water-based repellent to make the fabric waterproof and windproof, while also allowing perspiration vapor to escape from the inside.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The jacket provides excellent protection against wind and rain. For very cold temperatures, it is recommended to layer a warm insulating jacket or fleece underneath.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the product's size chart. For this specific model, the size children UK 5-6 is indicated. It's generally best to measure your child and compare it to the provided measurements.

What does 'non-PFC DWR' mean?

It means the Durable Water Repellent finish is applied without the use of perfluorinated chemicals, which are often associated with environmental persistence. This makes it a more eco-friendly treatment.

Can the hood be removed?

No, the hood is attached and features a three-piece design with an elasticated rain guard tunnel for a snug fit.

Are there inside pockets?

The product description only mentions secure-zip hand pockets on the exterior. There are no specified inside pockets.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer beading water effectively

The DWR finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and consider applying a new DWR treatment spray specifically designed for waterproof apparel.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Ensure the fabric around the zipper is clear of obstructions. Apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to the zipper teeth.

Child feels clammy inside the jacket

This can indicate a buildup of moisture vapor. Ensure the child is not overheating and consider wearing a moisture-wicking base layer underneath. Check that the jacket is properly ventilated if possible (though this model relies on breathability).
