Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the Outgrown system?

It is an internal sleeve adjustment feature that allows you to lengthen the sleeves as your child grows, extending the useful life of the jacket.

Is this jacket machine washable?

Yes, it can be machine washed in cold water. Ensure all zippers and velcro are closed first, and avoid fabric softeners.

Is the hood removable?

No, the hood is permanently attached for better weather sealing but features a soft Sherpa lining for comfort.

Can this be worn in heavy rain?

Yes, the Omni-Tech waterproof-breathable fabric is designed to withstand wet weather, including rain and slush.

Does it keep you warm without being bulky?

Yes, thanks to the Omni-Heat thermal-reflective lining, the jacket provides significant warmth without the need for thick, heavy insulation layers.

Troubleshooting

Water soaking into the fabric

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may need refreshing. Wash the jacket and tumble dry on low heat to reactivate the water-repellent finish.

Sleeves are too short

Utilize the Outgrown system by locating the growth stitch inside the sleeve lining and carefully snipping it to extend the sleeve length.

Zip sticking or catching

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track. If it remains stuck, clean the zipper teeth of any debris or salt buildup using a soft brush.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extended lifespan via the Outgrown system
  • Effective thermal-reflective insulation
  • Reliable waterproof and breathable shell
  • Extra coverage provided by the droptail hem
  • Soft, comfortable Sherpa-lined hood

Cons

  • Specific to cold-weather utility
  • May require layering for extreme sub-zero temperatures
  • Limited to urban and casual outdoor use

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your parka, it is recommended to wash the jacket in cold water on a gentle cycle. Always ensure all zippers and velcro closures are secured before washing to prevent damage to the outer nylon shell. Avoid using fabric softeners or heavy detergents, as these can compromise the waterproof coating. To activate the Outgrown feature, carefully turn the sleeves inside out to locate the interior growth seams and follow the manufacturer's stitching guide to release the extra fabric.
