Troubleshooting
Water appears to be soaking into the outer fabric
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may need refreshing. Follow the manufacturer's cleaning guide and consider a re-proofing spray.
Condensation building up inside the jacket
Ensure the child is wearing appropriate moisture-wicking base layers; the jacket is breathable, but cotton layers underneath can hold sweat.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the jacket fits correctly, utilize the adjustable waist and hem pull cords to lock in warmth, and tighten the velcro wrist straps to prevent water from running down the arms. For maintenance, it is recommended to wash the garment on a gentle cycle. Avoid using heavy detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip the breathable membrane and compromise the waterproof rating. Always air dry the jacket away from direct high-heat sources like radiators, which can damage the synthetic fibers.
