What material is the jacket made from?

Troubleshooting

My child still feels wet or damp after wearing the jacket in rain.

First, check for any visible rips or tears in the fabric. Ensure all zippers are fully closed. Over time, the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish can wear off. Consider applying a specialist reproofing wash or spray suitable for waterproof outdoor clothing to restore water repellency. Also, ensure the taped seams are intact.

The jacket doesn't seem warm enough in cold weather.

This jacket is a waterproof shell, designed to block rain and wind, not to provide significant insulation on its own. For colder conditions, ensure your child wears appropriate thermal layers underneath, such as a fleece jacket or a warm sweater. The jacket's design allows for comfortable layering.

The reflective trim doesn't seem very bright.

Ensure the reflective trim on the back hem is clean and free from mud or dirt, as this can reduce its effectiveness. Gently wipe it with a damp cloth if necessary. Remember, reflective materials work best when illuminated by an external light source, such as car headlights.
