FAQs

What age group is this jacket suitable for?

This jacket is designed for kids, with specific sizing available. The drawcord hem is noted for children over 7 years old, and an address label is included up to 8 years.

How waterproof is the Isotex 10000 fabric?

Isotex 10000 means the fabric has a hydrostatic head rating of 10,000mm, indicating good waterproof performance suitable for moderate to heavy rain.

Can I wash this jacket in a washing machine?

Yes, the jacket can be machine washed on a gentle cycle at 40°C (104°F) using liquid detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softener.

What is Thermoguard insulation?

Thermoguard is a lightweight yet effective insulation material that provides warmth without adding bulk, keeping children comfortable in cold conditions.

Are the reflective trims durable?

The reflective trims are designed to enhance visibility in low light. While generally durable, their reflective properties can be maintained by following the recommended washing and care instructions.

How do I ensure the best waterproof performance?

Regularly clean the jacket according to the care instructions and consider re-applying a DWR treatment periodically, especially if water no longer beads on the surface. Ensure the seams remain intact.

What should I do if the jacket loses its water repellency?

If the outer fabric no longer beads water, it's time to re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment. This can usually be done by spraying the treatment onto the clean, dry jacket and tumble drying on low heat, following the specific product's instructions.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels damp inside after use

This could be due to reduced breathability. Ensure the jacket is clean and free from dirt or residue. Consider re-applying a DWR treatment if the outer fabric is no longer beading water effectively.

Water is seeping through the seams

While the jacket has sealed seams, prolonged heavy downpours or damage to the seams could cause leaks. Check for any visible damage to the seam tape. Ensure washing instructions are strictly followed, as improper cleaning can affect seam integrity.

Insulation feels flat or less warm

Ensure the jacket is fully dry after washing. Fluff the insulation by tumbling on a low heat setting or gently shaking it. Avoid storing the jacket compressed for long periods.
