FAQs
Is this set insulated for winter?
No, the Pakka set is a lightweight waterproof shell designed for rain protection and should be layered with fleece or jumpers for warmth.
Can the hood be hidden?

Does it come with both trousers and a jacket?
Yes, this is a complete two-piece set including matching waterproof trousers and a jacket.
What does a 1500mm waterproof rating mean?
It means the fabric can withstand the pressure of a 1500mm column of water over 24 hours, making it suitable for moderate rain.
How should I clean the set?
Use a gentle machine cycle with minimal detergent. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can damage the taped seams.
Are the trousers adjustable at the waist?

Troubleshooting
Water appears to be soaking into the fabric
The DWR finish may have worn off. Wash the item and re-apply a technical waterproofing spray.
Garment feels damp inside despite being waterproof
This is usually caused by condensation build-up from physical activity; ensure the child wears moisture-wicking layers underneath.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the garment, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: The set is designed to be worn over regular clothing. Ensure you select the appropriate size to allow for movement underneath.
- Care: Machine wash the garments on a gentle cycle. Use mild detergent and avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR finish.
- Maintenance: If the water starts to 'soak' into the fabric instead of beading off, it is time to re-apply a waterproofing spray treatment.
- Storage: Ensure the items are completely dry before folding them into the drawstring bag to prevent mildew and odors.
