Full details

FAQs
What age group is this jacket for?
This jacket is designed for kids, specifically in size 5 for girls.
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
The jacket is made from polyurethane-coated polyester, offering good water resistance for light rain and splashes. It is not designed to be fully waterproof for prolonged or heavy downpours.
What material is the lining made of?
The lining is a soft, striped cotton jersey made from 100% cotton, sourced from organic farming.
How should I clean the jacket?
It is recommended to wash at a low temperature (e.g., 30°C), avoid harsh detergents, and air dry. Always refer to the care label on the product for specific instructions.
Does the hood detach?
The product description states an 'Integral hood', which means it is permanently attached to the jacket.
What are the fastening details?
The jacket features a zip fastening that is concealed under a touch 'n' close placket for extra protection against wind and rain.
Can I put this jacket in the dryer?
No, it is best to air dry the jacket to maintain the integrity of the polyurethane coating and fabric. Tumble drying is not recommended.
Troubleshooting
Jacket seems less water-resistant after washing.
Ensure you are following the recommended low-temperature washing and air-drying instructions. Harsh detergents or high heat can degrade the polyurethane coating over time. Consider using a specialized fabric refresher or re-waterproofing spray if the issue persists, following product instructions carefully.
Zipper is difficult to zip or unzip.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free any obstructions. If the zipper is dry, a small amount of graphite from a pencil rubbed on the teeth or a tiny bit of wax can help it glide more smoothly. Ensure the placket is flat and not bunched up when zipping.
Lining feels rough or uncomfortable.
The lining is made of 100% cotton jersey. If it feels rough after washing, ensure you are using a mild detergent and have not used fabric softener, which can sometimes cause stiffness in certain cottons. Air drying can help maintain softness.
