FAQs

What does 'ARED 30/30' mean?

ARED 30/30 refers to the jacket's fabric technology, indicating it has a hydrostatic head of 30,000mm (waterproofness) and a breathability rating of 30,000/m²/24hrs (breathability).

Is the hood removable?

Yes, the jacket features an adjustable and usually removable hood for versatility in different weather conditions.

How do I find the correct size?

Refer to the size guide provided. Measure your child's chest circumference and compare it to the measurements listed (e.g., 7-8 Years: 26 inches).

Can this jacket be worn in non-snowy, wet weather?

Yes, the jacket is fully waterproof and breathable, making it suitable for rain and wet conditions beyond just snow sports.

What materials is the jacket made from?

The jacket is made from 100% Recycled Polyester, featuring ARED 30/30 fabric technology.

How should I clean the jacket?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent and tumble dry on low heat to maintain water repellency. Do not use bleach or fabric conditioner.

Are there pockets for essentials?

Yes, it includes multiple zip pockets: a ski pass pocket, two side pockets, and one chest pocket.

Troubleshooting

Jacket no longer repels water effectively

The water-repellent finish may need reactivation. Follow the care instructions to tumble dry on low heat with a dryer ball or textile softener. Consider applying a re-waterproofing spray suitable for technical outerwear if the issue persists.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to move

Ensure the zippers are clean and free from debris. You can use a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant to help them glide smoothly. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Inner lining feels clammy or wet

This could indicate insufficient breathability or trapped moisture. Ensure you are not overheating and that the outer fabric is clean. Check that the jacket is not too tight, allowing for air circulation. Wash according to care instructions to remove any residue that might impede breathability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This jacket requires no complex setup; it is ready to wear out of the packaging. It is compatible with standard winter clothing layers. Care instructions recommend machine washing on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent and separately. It's advised to tumble dry on low heat with textile softener or a dryer ball to reactivate the water-repellent finish. Avoid using bleach or fabric conditioners. For best results, ensure all zips are closed and the hood is fastened before washing. Re-waterproofing treatments can be applied as needed following product instructions.
