FAQs
What age range is this jacket designed for?
This specific jacket is designed for children aged 7-8 years, based on the UK sizing.
Is this jacket waterproof?
The jacket features a durable water-repellent finish, which helps to shed light rain. It is not fully waterproof and is best suited for dry or lightly wet conditions.
How do I wash the jacket?
Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with a mild liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Tumble dry on low heat.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
This jacket provides lightweight warmth. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer additional warm clothing underneath. It is not intended as a primary jacket for extreme cold.
How often should I reapply the water-repellent finish?
The frequency depends on usage and washing. It's generally recommended to reapply a DWR treatment after several washes or when you notice water is no longer beading on the fabric surface.
Does the Orla Kiely print affect the jacket's performance?
No, the print is incorporated into the fabric design and does not affect the insulation or water-repellent properties of the jacket.
What is the benefit of synthetic down insulation?
Synthetic down insulation provides excellent warmth, is lightweight, and retains insulating properties even when damp, unlike traditional down.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is not providing enough warmth.
This jacket is designed for mild to cool weather. For colder conditions, layer with additional warm clothing underneath. Ensure the jacket is properly zipped up.
Water is soaking through the fabric.
The durable water-repellent finish is designed for light rain. For heavy rain, a waterproof jacket is recommended. Consider reapplying a DWR treatment to the jacket if the water repellency has diminished.
Zipper is stuck.
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. If it persists, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a dry lubricant to the zipper teeth.
Jacket has lost its loftiness after washing.
Ensure the jacket is completely dry. Tumble dry on a low heat setting with clean tennis balls to help re-fluff the synthetic insulation.
