Product Information

Full details

This guide is for parents and guardians looking for a durable, weather-resistant jacket for active children aged 7-8. The key benefit is protection against wind and light rain, making it ideal for outdoor play. A caveat is that it's water-resistant, not waterproof, so it may not perform in heavy downpours. This soft shell jacket features a breathable and wind-resistant fabric with a fleece lining for warmth, a grown-on hood, and full zip fastening with a chin guard for comfort and safety.

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The jacket has a fleece lining for warmth and is wind-resistant. For very cold weather, it is best worn as a mid-layer over other warm clothing.

How do I clean the jacket?

You can machine wash the jacket at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Avoid bleach and do not iron. Tumble dry on a low heat setting or allow it to air dry.

What does 'water-resistant' mean for this jacket?

Water-resistant means the fabric will repel light rain and moisture for a period, allowing it to bead off the surface. It is not designed to be fully waterproof and will not keep the wearer dry in prolonged or heavy downpours.

Does the hood detach?

No, the hood is a 'grown-on' hood, meaning it is permanently attached to the jacket.

What material is the jacket made of?

The outer material is 93% Polyester and 7% Elastane. The lining is 100% Polyester, with a fleece lining for added warmth.

Can this jacket be worn by both boys and girls?

Yes, the jacket is designed as unisex and suitable for children of any gender.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free any obstruction. You can also apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) to the zipper teeth to help it slide more smoothly.

Water is soaking through the fabric

This jacket is water-resistant, not waterproof. For heavy rain, a waterproof jacket is recommended. The water-resistant treatment may also degrade over time; consider re-applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish if performance diminishes significantly.

Fleece lining feels matted after washing

Ensure the jacket is washed on a gentle cycle and tumble dried on a low heat setting or air dried. Avoid high heat which can damage the fleece fibers.
