Its key benefit is providing excellent warmth without bulk, thanks to Warmloft insulation, while Extol Stretch panels ensure freedom of movement.

FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
No, the jacket features a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish which is effective against light rain and splashes, but it is not fully waterproof. For heavy or prolonged rain, a dedicated waterproof jacket is recommended.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water (30°C). Use a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softener. Tumble dry on low heat, ideally with tennis balls to help maintain the insulation's loft.
What is Warmloft insulation?
Warmloft is a high-quality synthetic insulation that mimics the warmth and loft of down but retains its insulating properties even when damp. It provides excellent warmth without adding significant weight or bulk.
Can I iron this jacket?
No, you should not iron this jacket. Direct heat from an iron can damage the synthetic materials and the insulation.
What are the Extol Stretch panels for?
The Extol Stretch panels are made from a flexible fabric blend (polyester/elastane) and are inserted into areas like the sleeves or side panels to allow for greater freedom of movement, making the jacket more comfortable for active pursuits.
Does the jacket have a name label?
Yes, a printed name label is included for sizes up to age 8, which is useful for school or group activities.
Are there reflective elements for safety?
Yes, the jacket includes reflective trim to enhance visibility in low-light conditions, adding an extra layer of safety for children playing outdoors.
Troubleshooting
Jacket doesn't feel warm enough.
Ensure the jacket is properly zipped and the hood is secured. Check that the Warmloft insulation has not become compacted; tumble drying on low heat with tennis balls can help restore loft.
Water is soaking through the fabric.
The jacket has a water-repellent finish, not a waterproof coating. For heavy rain, an additional waterproof outer layer is recommended. The water-repellent finish may also diminish over time; re-treatment may be necessary.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to use.
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently pull the zipper up and down. A small amount of wax or silicone lubricant can be applied to the zipper teeth if it remains stiff.
Stretch panels feel restrictive.
Ensure the correct size jacket is being worn. The Extol Stretch panels are designed for flexibility, but if the overall fit is too tight, movement may feel limited.
