FAQs

Is this jacket machine washable?

Yes, it can be machine washed on a gentle cycle. Always check the care label inside the garment for specific temperature settings.

Can this be worn in heavy rain?

It is showerproof, meaning it handles light rain well. It is not designed for sustained exposure to heavy or prolonged downpours.

Is the hood adjustable?

The jacket features a grown-on hood, which provides a comfortable, standard fit without external toggles.

Will the reflective parts fade in the wash?

The reflective detailing is durable, but turning the garment inside out during washing can help preserve the material's integrity over time.

Does it have internal pockets?

The jacket features two external lower zip pockets for secure storage.

Troubleshooting

Zip feels stiff or sticks

Clean any debris from the zipper teeth and ensure no fabric is caught in the internal zip guard.

Water soaking into the fabric

The showerproof treatment may have worn off; apply a garment-safe DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray to restore moisture resistance.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight construction prevents bulk during active play
  • Highly durable ripstop fabric resists tearing
  • Effective insulation provides warmth without added weight
  • Safety-focused reflective elements for low-light visibility
  • Easy-to-use secure zip pockets

Cons

  • Designed for light showers rather than heavy rain
  • No adjustable hood toggles
  • Outer material is not fully waterproof

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the showerproof properties of the fabric, machine wash the jacket on a gentle cycle using a technical detergent. Avoid using heavy fabric softeners, as they can clog the fibers and reduce the effectiveness of the protective finish. Air dry the jacket naturally; avoid high-heat tumble drying as it may damage the insulation filling and the stretch binding at the hems. When storing, ensure the jacket is completely dry to prevent odors or moisture buildup.
