Under Armour Kids' Rival Zip Hoodie - Blue - M

This hoodie is designed for kids, specifically with sizes corresponding to UK children's age groups like 7-8, 9-10, and generic apparel sizes like S, M, L, XL which align with youth sizing.

The hoodie is made of lightweight fleece, providing warmth for mild to cool conditions. For very cold winter weather, it's best used as a mid-layer, with a heavier coat or jacket for superior insulation.

The UA Storm technology repels water, making it effective against light rain, splashes, or damp conditions. It is not waterproof, so it will not keep the wearer dry in heavy or prolonged downpours.

While listed under 'Male' attributes, the design is a classic zip-up hoodie suitable for any child who prefers its style and features, regardless of gender.

It means that at least 90% of the primary fabric used in the hoodie's body is made from recycled polyester, reducing waste and the environmental impact associated with producing new polyester.

Refer to the size chart and the specific size attributes (e.g., size_apparel_generic 'M', size_children_uk '9-10') to find the best match. The ribbed cuffs and waistband are designed to provide a secure fit, but checking measurements is recommended.

Yes, avoid using fabric softeners as they can negatively impact the water-repellent properties and breathability. Tumble drying on low heat can help reactivate the DWR finish.

Ensure the fabric around the zipper is not caught. Gently try to work the zipper up and down. If it persists, check for any lint or debris around the zipper teeth and clean them carefully. A small amount of graphite from a pencil rubbed on the teeth can sometimes help.

Water repellency can diminish over time with washing. Avoid using fabric softeners and ensure you tumble dry on low heat, as this can help reactivate the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish. For significant reduction, consider reapplying a DWR treatment suitable for athletic wear, following product instructions.

Ensure the garment is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the fabric's pores. Avoid using excessive amounts of detergent or fabric softeners. Check that the mesh lining is not obscured by other garments during washing.

Wash the hoodie inside out in cold water with similar colors. Using a mild detergent and avoiding high heat for washing and drying can help preserve the color.
