FAQs

Is this jacket fully waterproof?

No, the Lyle and Scott Softshell Hooded Jacket is water-resistant. This means it will repel light rain and splashes, keeping your child dry in damp conditions, but it is not designed to be fully waterproof in heavy downpours.

What is the best season to wear this jacket?

This jacket is ideal for mild to cool weather in spring, autumn, and early winter. Its lightweight warmth and water resistance make it versatile for fluctuating temperatures.

How do I ensure the jacket lasts a long time?

Follow the care instructions: machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, avoid fabric softeners and bleach, and tumble dry low or air dry. Proper care helps maintain the fabric's integrity and water-resistant properties.

Can my child wear a thick sweater underneath?

Yes, the jacket features a regular fit designed to accommodate comfortable layering. A moderately thick sweater should fit well without restricting movement.

Are the pockets secure?

Yes, all pockets on this jacket, including the side pockets and the left sleeve pocket, are equipped with zippers to keep your child's belongings safe and secure during activity.

What material is the jacket made from?

The jacket is made from Polyester, offering durability, water resistance, and some stretch for flexibility.

Troubleshooting

Zipper gets stuck or is difficult to move.

Ensure the fabric lining is not caught in the zipper teeth. Try gently wiggling the slider. If it persists, a small amount of zipper lubricant or graphite pencil lead can help it move smoothly. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Water is no longer beading on the fabric surface.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Wash the jacket according to care instructions, and then consider reapplying a DWR spray or wash-in treatment designed for outerwear. Ensure the jacket is clean before application.

Jacket feels too tight when layering.

While designed for layering, excessive bulk underneath can make it feel snug. Ensure the inner layers are not overly thick. If the issue persists, check the size guide to confirm the appropriate size for your child's measurements and typical layering habits.

Fabric appears stained or dirty after outdoor play.

Address stains promptly. For most dirt, a gentle machine wash as per care instructions should suffice. For tougher stains, pre-treat with a mild stain remover suitable for polyester, then wash. Avoid harsh scrubbing which can damage the fabric.

Care

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your softshell jacket. Follow these guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colors.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can impair the fabric's water-resistant properties.
  3. Bleach: Do not bleach.
  4. Drying: Tumble dry low or, preferably, hang to air dry. Avoid high heat, which can damage the softshell fabric.
  5. Ironing: Do not iron.
  6. Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
  7. Water Repellency: Over time, the water-resistant coating may diminish. If you notice water no longer beads up on the surface, you can apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment specifically designed for technical outerwear (Info needed: Specific DWR product recommendations).
