Its key benefit is being lightweight and packable, making it easy to carry on any adventure.

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The jacket is designed primarily for waterproofing and wind protection. While it can be layered over warm clothing, it does not provide significant insulation on its own and is best suited for mild to cool conditions or as an outer shell.

How easy is it to pack this jacket?

It is very easy to pack. The jacket is designed to fold down small, making it convenient to carry in a backpack, school bag, or even a pocket for unexpected weather changes.

What does the breathability rating of 5000g/m²/24hrs mean?

This rating indicates how much water vapor can pass through the fabric per square meter over a 24-hour period. A rating of 5000g/m²/24hrs means the jacket is moderately breathable, suitable for active use and helping to prevent a build-up of moisture inside.

Can I wash this jacket in a washing machine?

Yes, you can machine wash the jacket at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Avoid using bleach, and do not iron or dry clean. Tumble dry on a low setting or hang dry.

What is the difference between waterproof and water-repellent?

Waterproof means the fabric will prevent water from passing through, even under pressure. Water-repellent means the fabric is treated to shed water, preventing it from soaking in easily, but it may not withstand prolonged or heavy rain as effectively as a fully waterproof material.

What age group is the size 7-8 for?

The size 7-8 is intended for children typically aged between 7 and 8 years old, based on standard children's sizing. It's always recommended to check specific size charts if available.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer waterproof

Ensure the jacket is clean and free from dirt and detergent residue. Re-apply a water-repellent finish using a suitable product designed for outdoor wear, following the product's instructions. Check that all seams are intact.

Hood is not fitting snugly

The grown-on hood has elastication to help it fit. Ensure it is pulled down fully over the head. If the elastic feels loose, it may indicate wear over time.

Zipper is difficult to use

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to free the fabric. If the zipper is stiff, a small amount of graphite from a pencil or a dedicated zipper lubricant can help, applied carefully to the teeth.

Jacket feels damp inside

This could be due to high humidity or the garment reaching its breathability limit during intense activity. Ensure the jacket is zipped up correctly and the hood is used to prevent external moisture ingress. If the dampness persists, check the care instructions and ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt can impede breathability.
