FAQs
Is this hoodie waterproof?
No, the fleece material is designed for warmth and breathability, not as a waterproof barrier. It is best used as a mid-layer under a rain jacket.
Can I put this in the dryer?
It is best to air dry the hoodie to prevent the fleece from becoming matted or losing its shape over time.
Does it fit true to size?
Yes, it features a regular fit designed for comfortable movement and potential layering underneath.
Where is the ID label located?
The ID label is sewn into the interior of the garment, specifically designed for easy identification.
Is the material machine washable?
Yes, it is machine washable, but we recommend a cold, gentle cycle to maintain the quality of the polyester fabric.
What is the purpose of the chin guard?
The chin guard is a flap of fabric over the top of the zipper that prevents the metal pull from irritating the child's neck or chin.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or hard to operate
Check the fabric lining near the zipper track to ensure it is not caught; gently rub a graphite pencil tip along the zipper teeth to lubricate them.
Fleece shows signs of pilling
Pilling is a common occurrence with synthetic fibers. Use a fabric shaver or a sweater comb to gently remove surface lint and restore the smooth appearance.
