Troubleshooting
Jacket doesn't seem warm enough.
The Kirkhale Baffle Jacket provides light insulation. For colder conditions, consider layering a fleece or thermal top underneath. Ensure the elasticated cuffs and hood are properly positioned to prevent heat loss.
Child is getting wet in light rain.
The jacket is water-resistant, not fully waterproof. It's designed for light moisture. If your child is exposed to heavy or prolonged rain, they may get wet. For those conditions, a dedicated waterproof shell would be more suitable.
Zipper is sticking or difficult to use.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the fabric away. If the zipper still sticks, you can apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (like zipper wax or a graphite pencil) along the teeth.
Jacket seems stiff after washing.
Ensure the jacket was tumble dried on a low setting or air-dried thoroughly. Over-drying or not drying completely can sometimes cause stiffness. Gently flex and knead the jacket to help restore its softness.

- Check Care Label: Always refer to the specific washing instructions on the jacket's internal care label.
- Machine Wash: Typically, machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colors.
