This guide is for parents looking for a durable and warm snow jacket for their children, offering excellent protection against the elements. Its key benefit is superior snowproof and water-resistant performance thanks to its DWR finish. A potential caveat is that the sizing might require careful consideration for a perfect fit. The jacket is constructed from 100% Polyester with a fleece lining, featuring a grown-on hood, adjustable cuffs, and multiple zip pockets for secure storage. Its hardwearing fabric technology is designed for active use in snowy conditions.

Yes, the fleece lining provides significant warmth, and it's designed for snow activities. For extreme cold, layering with thermal clothing underneath is recommended.
Refer to the size guide provided by the retailer. Generally, for this jacket, size UK 7-8 is suitable for children within that age range. Check measurements like chest and sleeve length if possible.
While the jacket provides excellent upper body protection, it is designed to be part of a snow gear system. For full protection in snow, pairing it with waterproof snow pants is advisable.
DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. It's a coating applied to fabrics that makes water bead up and roll off the surface, preventing the material from becoming saturated.
Reapplication frequency depends on usage. Generally, after 5-10 washes, or when you notice water is no longer beading effectively on the fabric surface.
The pockets have zippers for security, but they are not designed to be fully waterproof. They offer protection against light moisture and snow but should not be used for storing items that must be kept completely dry.
This means the hood is permanently attached to the jacket and is not detachable. It's designed to integrate seamlessly with the jacket's collar for maximum coverage and comfort.
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Apply a small amount of wax or graphite (from a pencil tip) to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.
The DWR treatment may need to be reactivated or reapplied. Tumble dry the jacket on a low heat setting for 20 minutes to reactivate the existing treatment. If ineffective, apply a specific DWR spray or wash-in treatment according to the product's instructions.
Clean the touch fastening surfaces gently with a damp cloth and allow to air dry. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Setup: This is a ready-to-wear garment. Ensure all zippers are fully functional before first use.
Compatibility: Designed for children aged 7-8 years. Compatible with other winter wear like thermal base layers and snow pants for optimal warmth.
