FAQs
Is this jacket insulated?
No, the Shelter 2.0 is a 2-layer shell jacket. It provides weather protection but relies on layering underneath for warmth.
Can this be worn in the snow?
It can be worn in the snow as a waterproof shell, provided your child is wearing sufficient thermal layers underneath to keep them warm.
How do I choose the right size?
The jacket follows standard children's sizing. We recommend checking the size guide to match your child's age or height to the corresponding UK size.
Is the hood removable?
The product features a fixed hood design for maximum weather sealing.
How often should I re-waterproof the jacket?
You should re-apply a DWR treatment if you notice that water no longer beads up on the surface of the fabric after cleaning.
Troubleshooting
Water appears to soak into the outer fabric rather than beading off
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may be wearing off. Wash the jacket and tumble dry it on low heat to help reactivate the finish, or apply a spray-on DWR treatment if necessary.
Zipper is sticking or difficult to pull
Check the zipper teeth for trapped debris or loose fabric strands. Ensure the jacket is laid flat and pull gently; if the issue persists, carefully clean the track with a soft brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the jacket remains effective, it is important to follow proper care instructions. Wash the garment in cold water using a gentle cycle with a technical detergent designed for waterproof gear, avoiding harsh fabric softeners that can degrade the water-repellent coating. Always zip up the YKK zippers before washing to protect the teeth. Tumble dry on low heat or hang-dry to reactivate the water-repellent finish. The jacket is designed to be compatible with standard mid-layers, such as fleece sweaters or insulated vests, allowing you to adapt the warmth level based on the current season.
