Troubleshooting
Jacket doesn't seem warm enough.
This jacket offers 'light insulation'. For colder conditions, ensure your child is wearing appropriate base and mid-layers underneath. It's designed for cool, not extreme, cold.
Child gets wet in the rain.
The jacket is water-resistant, not fully waterproof. It provides 'splash protection' for light rain or damp conditions. For heavy downpours, a fully waterproof raincoat is recommended.
Zipper is stiff or gets stuck.
Ensure the fabric lining is clear of the zipper teeth. Try applying a small amount of zipper lubricant (e.g., silicone spray or graphite from a pencil) to the teeth.
Pockets aren't staying closed.
Check if the zipper pull is fully engaged. If a zipper tooth is bent, it may need professional repair, though this is rare with new items.
Jacket feels clammy inside.
The fabric has 'breathable properties'. If feeling clammy, your child might be overdressed for the activity level or the temperature. Adjust layers underneath accordingly.
