FAQs

Is this jacket machine washable?

Yes, it can be machine washed on a gentle, cool cycle. We recommend air drying to keep the insulation lofted.

Does it provide protection in heavy rain?

The jacket is showerproof, meaning it is designed to repel light rain. It is not intended for long-term use in heavy, sustained rainfall.

Can I use fabric softener when washing?

No, you should avoid fabric softeners as they can degrade the technical water-repellent coating on the outer shell.

Are the reflective details effective at night?

Yes, the integrated reflective elements are designed to catch light in low-visibility conditions to help your child stand out.

What does 80gsm insulation mean?

GSM stands for grams per square meter. 80gsm indicates a lightweight level of insulation that provides warmth for active play without being too hot.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is catching or sticking

Ensure the inner zip guard is pulled flat and clear of the zipper track before pulling the slider.

Water is soaking into the fabric

The showerproof finish may need refreshing; try a professional-grade wash-in water-repellent treatment suitable for synthetic outdoor gear.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight and non-restrictive for active play
  • Durable ripstop material resists snagging
  • Reflective detailing improves child safety
  • Soft chin guard prevents zipper irritation

Cons

  • Showerproof only, not rated for heavy or sustained downpours
  • Lacks an adjustable hood for custom fitting
  • Limited to two lower pockets for storage

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because this is a dedicated outer layer, there is no assembly required; simply ensure the size is appropriate for your child's layering needs. To maintain the jacket's showerproof properties and insulation loft, machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the protective finish. Air drying is highly recommended to preserve the integrity of the synthetic fill and the reflective elements. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to keep the padding from compressing over time.
