Featuring a lightweight 80gsm Iloft fill and a showerproof finish, it offers excellent thermal insulation without adding unnecessary bulk, though it is intended for light rain rather than sustained heavy downpours.

It is showerproof, meaning it can handle light rain, but it is not seam-sealed for heavy or sustained downpours.
Yes, machine wash on a gentle cycle with mild detergent and low-heat tumble dry.
It means the jacket's water-repellent coating is made without perfluorinated chemicals, which are considered better for the environment.
Yes, it features a grown-on, fixed hood for extra protection against the elements.
Yes, the two lower pockets are zip-secured to ensure items stay safely inside while your child is active.
Yes, it includes reflective detailing to improve visibility in low-light conditions.
Ensure the inner zip guard is held flat while pulling the zipper up. If it persists, check for trapped fabric strands.
The padding may have compressed. Tumble dry on low with tennis balls to restore the loft of the Iloft filling.
The durable water repellent (DWR) finish may need refreshing. Use a wash-in or spray-on DWR treatment designed for synthetic outdoor clothing.
To ensure the jacket maintains its insulating properties and water repellency, follow these guidelines: Wash the garment in cold water on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the showerproof treatment and coat the fibers. For drying, tumble dry on a low heat setting, ideally with clean tennis balls in the dryer to help re-fluff the Iloft padding. Always ensure all zips are closed before washing to prevent damage to the fabric or the hardware.
