Full details
The Kite Dino Discovery Splash Coat is a high-performance outerwear solution for active children aged 5-6 who enjoy outdoor play regardless of the weather. This coat excels at providing reliable protection against rain and wind with its 3,000mm waterproof rating and welded seams, ensuring comfort during intense play; however, parents should note that the outer material and lining are primarily cotton-based, which may require specific attention during heavy laundering compared to fully synthetic technical gear.

FAQs
Is the coat fully machine washable?
Yes, but we recommend a gentle cycle and avoiding bleach or strong fabric softeners to protect the waterproof coating.
What does a 3,000mm waterproof rating mean?
This rating indicates the fabric can withstand the pressure of a 3,000mm column of water before moisture begins to penetrate, making it effective for rain.
Can this coat be worn in the winter?
It is excellent as a windproof outer layer, but since it is not heavily insulated, it works best when layered over a thermal sweater or fleece.
Is the hood detachable?
No, the hood is integrated into the design with a protective chin stand to ensure maximum coverage against the elements.
What is the primary material used?
The coat features high-quality cotton construction, providing a soft touch while maintaining technical performance.
Does it provide extra protection for sitting on wet surfaces?
Yes, the dropped back hem is specifically designed to provide extra splash protection and keep the lower back dry when sitting.
Troubleshooting
Water appears to soak into the surface fabric
The exterior may need a specialized wash-in reproofing treatment to maintain its water-repellent finish.
Zip is sticking or difficult to pull
Ensure no fabric is caught in the track and clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush to remove sand or grit.
Cuffs feeling loose or letting in water
Ensure the sleeves are pulled over the mid-layer, letting the ribbed storm cuffs sit directly against the skin or base layer to create a proper seal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this coat is designed for active play, maintaining its waterproof integrity is essential. To clean, use a gentle cycle with mild detergent; avoid harsh chemicals that can strip the water-resistant coating. Always air dry the coat away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can damage the seam welding. When dressing your child, the zip-through design is compatible with various mid-layers, allowing you to increase warmth by wearing a fleece or sweater underneath if temperatures drop. Check the inner label for the specific size 5-6 fit to ensure the hem sits correctly over your child's midsection.
