FAQs
What does 'packaway' mean?
'Packaway' means the jacket is designed to be easily folded or rolled into a compact size, making it convenient to store in a bag or backpack.
How do I know which size to choose?
Refer to the sizing chart provided in the product description, which lists chest measurements for various age groups. Measure your child's chest and compare it to the guide.
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
The jacket is water-repellent and suitable for light to moderate rain due to its fabric and taped seams. For prolonged heavy downpours, a jacket with a higher waterproof rating might be more suitable.
Can this jacket be worn in cold weather?
This jacket is primarily designed for protection against rain and wind. For cold weather, it is best used as an outer layer over insulating clothing like fleeces or thermal tops.
What is the breathability rating?
The jacket has a breathability rating of 5000g/m²/24hrs, which indicates its ability to allow water vapor (sweat) to escape from the inside.
How should I clean the jacket?
Machine wash at 40°C on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach, and do not iron. Tumble dry on low or hang to dry.
Does it have a removable hood?
No, the hood is 'grown on,' meaning it is attached to the jacket and not removable. It features an elasticated edge for a secure fit.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems reduced.
The water-repellent finish may need refreshing. Follow care instructions for washing, and consider a specific re-waterproofing treatment after cleaning, suitable for polyamide fabrics.
Jacket feels clammy inside during activity.
Ensure the jacket is not layered too thickly underneath. The breathability rating of 5000g/m²/24hrs is effective for moderate activity; excessive underlayers can impede moisture transfer.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and allow to dry. You can apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to the zipper track.
