FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
The jacket features a water-repellent finish, which means it can resist light rain or splashes. However, it is not fully waterproof and may not provide adequate protection in heavy or prolonged rain.
What is the insulation made of?
The jacket is insulated with Warmloft, a synthetic down-touch insulation known for its warmth, lightness, and compressibility.
How should I clean the jacket?
You should machine wash the jacket at 30°C with a mild liquid detergent, rinse thoroughly, and tumble dry on a low heat setting. Avoid using biological powder or bleach, and do not iron or dry clean.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
The jacket provides good warmth for its weight and is suitable as a layering piece. For extremely cold conditions, you may need to add more insulating layers underneath or choose a heavier-weight jacket.
Are the pockets secure?
Yes, the jacket has two zipped lower pockets, providing secure storage for small items.
What is the benefit of the stretch inserts?
The Extol Stretch inserts are made from a flexible material and are placed in areas that require more movement, such as the sides or underarms. This allows the child to move freely during activities without feeling restricted by the jacket.
Does the jacket have a hood?
Yes, the jacket features a hood with stretch binding around the opening for a snug fit.
Troubleshooting
Jacket zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently pull the fabric away from the teeth. You can try rubbing a graphite pencil lead on the zipper teeth to lubricate them.
Water repellency seems reduced.
The water-repellent finish can diminish over time with washing. Follow the care instructions to wash and tumble dry; the heat from tumble drying can reactivate the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish. For a more significant restoration, consider using a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment suitable for synthetic fabrics.
Insulation feels flat after washing.
Tumble dry the jacket on a low heat setting with clean tennis balls or dryer balls. This helps to break up any clumps of insulation and restore its loft and warmth.
