FAQs
Is this jacket truly waterproof?
Yes, it features a 2000mm waterproof rating and taped seams, which effectively block out rain in moderate conditions.
Can my child wear this in winter?
It is a shell jacket designed for rain protection. It can be worn in winter if layered over a warm fleece or sweater.
How do I determine the right size?
The sizes follow standard children's UK sizing. Refer to the age range provided (e.g., 3-4 years) to find the best fit.
Does the hood detach?
The hood is designed for comfort and weather protection but is generally fixed to ensure full coverage.
What is ripstop fabric?
Ripstop is a reinforced nylon fabric that uses a special weaving technique to make it highly resistant to tearing and ripping.
Troubleshooting
Water soaking through the outer fabric
The DWR coating may have worn off. Clean the jacket and re-apply a professional-grade DWR waterproofing treatment.
Zip is sticking or hard to pull
Check for fabric debris caught in the zipper teeth. Clean the teeth gently with a soft brush and apply a small amount of silicone lubricant if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the waterproofing, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning: Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent specifically designed for technical outerwear.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can damage the waterproof coating.
- Storage: Hang the jacket on a sturdy hanger in a dry, well-ventilated area rather than folding it for long-term storage.
- Maintenance: If the water begins to soak into the outer fabric instead of beading off, apply a specialized DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray to restore the coating.
