FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this jacket?

The jacket is designed for children's winter outdoor activities, particularly snow sports like skiing and snowboarding, providing warmth, waterproofing, and wind resistance.

What does DWR finish mean?

DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. This is a treatment applied to the fabric that causes water to bead up and roll off, helping to keep the wearer dry.

How do I ensure the best fit for my child?

Refer to the size guide provided by the retailer. The jacket is sized as '7-8 Years' for this specific variant, and the adjustable cuffs allow for minor fit adjustments.

Can this jacket be worn in heavy rain?

While it has a DWR finish and is snowproof, it's primarily designed for snow. For very heavy rain, additional waterproof layers might be considered, but it offers good protection against wet conditions.

Are the pockets waterproof?

The pockets have zips, which offer protection against light moisture and snow. However, they are not intended to be fully waterproof for submersion.

What material is the lining made of?

The lining is made of fleece, which provides an extra layer of soft warmth and insulation.

How should I wash the jacket to preserve its performance?

Machine wash at 30 degrees Celsius, do not bleach, tumble dry on low, do not iron or dry clean. Wash separately and avoid fabric softeners to maintain the DWR finish.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently pull the zipper while trying to move it. Check for any fabric caught in the teeth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or wax to the zipper teeth.

Jacket is not shedding water effectively.

The DWR finish may have worn off. Consider washing the jacket according to care instructions and applying a DWR re-waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment.

Fleece lining feels matted after washing.

Ensure the jacket is tumble dried on a low setting. Avoid high heat, which can damage the fleece. Brush the lining gently after drying if needed.

Cuff touch fasteners are no longer sticking well.

Clean the hook and loop surfaces gently with a stiff brush to remove lint and debris. Replace the jacket if the fasteners are significantly worn.
