Troubleshooting
Water soaking through the fabric
The waterproof treatment may be wearing off; wash the item and consider applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray specifically designed for outdoor gear.
Difficulty packing the coat into the pocket
Ensure all air is pressed out of the garment while folding it toward the pocket opening to reduce volume.
Waist adjusters feel too tight
Locate the internal elastic sliders at the waist and pull them outward to release tension.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep the raincoat in top condition, ensure the internal waist adjusters are loosened before putting the coat on, then tighten them to your child's preference for a secure fit. The coat is fully machine washable, which is ideal after muddy outdoor play. It is recommended to wash on a cool, gentle cycle. Avoid using heavy detergents or fabric softeners, as these can compromise the waterproof coating over time. To maintain the waterproof finish, ensure the garment is thoroughly dried after each use in wet conditions. If the coat becomes heavily soiled, wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth before machine washing.
