FAQs
Is this jacket machine washable?
Yes, it is machine washable on a delicate cycle, but avoid using fabric softener to maintain the waterproof coating.
Does the hood detach?
No, the hood is integrated into the collar design for improved protection against the wind and rain.
Is the jacket warm enough for winter?
While it is windproof and offers some insulation with its lining, it is primarily a waterproof shell; it is best worn over mid-layers during colder months.
What does Isotex 20000 mean?
This is a technical rating indicating that the fabric is highly waterproof and breathable, capable of withstanding heavy rainfall.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the standard children's sizing guide; this particular model is sized for children aged 7-8.
Troubleshooting
Water starts soaking into the outer fabric instead of beading off.
The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the jacket with a technical gear cleaner and apply a spray-on or wash-in water-repellent treatment.
Zippers are sticking or difficult to move.
Check for debris or dirt caught in the zipper teeth and clean with a soft brush, or apply a dedicated zipper lubricant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the jacket's performance, ensure all zips are closed before washing. Use a gentle detergent and avoid fabric softeners, as these can strip the durable water-repellent (DWR) coating. It is best to air dry the garment away from direct heat sources like radiators. If you notice water no longer beads off the surface of the fabric after heavy use, consider treating it with a standard technical garment reproofer to restore its waterproof qualities.
