Troubleshooting
Jacket doesn't seem fully waterproof
Ensure all zippers and fasteners are completely closed. Check the jacket for any visible tears or punctures that might compromise waterproofing. Regular washing according to care instructions helps maintain fabric performance.
Child finds the cuffs too tight
The elasticated cuffs are designed for a snug fit to keep out elements. If consistently uncomfortable, consider checking the child's actual wrist size against general clothing size guides, or ensuring the correct jacket size was purchased.
Jacket feels stiff or crinkly after washing
This can happen if fabric softener is used or if the jacket is machine dried. Always air dry the jacket and avoid fabric softeners to preserve the Hydrafort fabric's integrity and feel.
Jacket isn't providing enough warmth
The Stormbreak is a waterproof shell jacket, designed for rain protection, not insulation. For warmth in colder weather, layer appropriate fleeces or jumpers underneath.
