FAQs
What does 'Isotex 10000' mean?
Isotex 10000 refers to the fabric's performance rating, indicating it is waterproof up to 10,000g/m²/24hrs and breathable to the same standard, offering good protection against rain and wind while allowing moisture vapor to escape.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold winter weather?
Yes, the jacket features a warm synthetic filling (Warmloft) and a Sherpa-lined hood, making it suitable for cold weather. For extremely low temperatures, consider adding a warm base layer and mid-layer.
Can I wash this jacket in a washing machine?
Yes, you can machine wash the jacket on a gentle cycle at 30°C with liquid detergent. Avoid using fabric softener or bleach, and do not tumble dry.
How do I maintain the waterproof properties of the jacket?
After washing, it is recommended to re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish to the outer fabric to restore its water-repellent capabilities. Follow the instructions on the DWR product.
What is the purpose of the 'Grown On Hood' feature?
A 'Grown On Hood' is permanently attached to the jacket, providing a consistent and integrated form of head protection that doesn't detach.
What sizes are available for the printed name label?
The printed name label feature is available for sizes up to Age 8.
What does DWR Finish mean?
DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. It's a coating applied to the fabric that causes water to bead up and roll off the surface, helping to keep the outer layer dry.
Troubleshooting
Water is soaking through the fabric
Ensure the DWR finish is intact. Re-apply a suitable DWR treatment after washing as per product instructions. Check that all seams are properly taped and that the main zipper is fully closed.
Child feels cold even with the jacket on
Ensure the jacket is the correct size and fits snugly with adjustable cuffs and hem tightened to prevent drafts. Consider layering a warm base layer underneath for colder conditions.
Jacket feels damp inside after wear
This can indicate reduced breathability. Ensure the garment is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the pores of the fabric. Wash according to care instructions and re-apply DWR.
Hood is not staying up or feels inadequate
Check if the hood is properly adjusted or if there are any drawstrings to tighten. The Sherpa lining is designed for warmth; ensure it is not preventing a secure fit.
