FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
The jacket is showerproof, meaning it handles light rain well but is not fully waterproof for heavy or prolonged rain.
Can I put this jacket in the tumble dryer?
It is recommended to air dry the jacket to avoid damaging the insulation and the outer fabric.
Are the pockets secure?
Yes, the jacket features two lower zip pockets designed to keep small essentials safe and secure.
Is the hood adjustable?
The hood is a grown-on style, designed to sit comfortably and securely without the need for manual adjustments.
Does it offer protection for night walking?

Troubleshooting
Zip gets stuck or feels difficult to pull
Check the inner zip guard for caught fabric and ensure no debris is stuck in the teeth of the zipper.
Water begins to soak through the fabric
The showerproof treatment may have worn off; consider using a fabric-safe water-repellent spray to restore the coating.
Cuffs or hem feel loose
Ensure the garment size is correct for the child; the stretch binding is designed to provide a secure fit once the jacket is fully zipped.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket is a standalone garment that fits true to size, but children may prefer to layer a thin base layer underneath on colder days. To ensure the longevity of the jacket, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to preserve the integrity of the insulation.
- Storage: Hang the jacket on a sturdy hanger in a cool, dry place to prevent the insulation from compressing over long periods.
- Maintenance: Regularly check the zips and cuffs for debris that might hinder movement or fit.
