FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The jacket is water-repellent with taped seams, offering good protection against light to moderate rain. For prolonged exposure to heavy downpours, a more robust waterproof jacket may be necessary.
How do I know what size to order?
Refer to the size guide provided by the retailer. It is recommended to measure the child's chest and height and compare these with the jacket's specific measurements for the best fit.
Can this jacket be worn in cold weather?
This jacket is lightweight and designed primarily for protection against wind and rain. For cold weather, it is best worn as an outer layer over insulating clothing like fleece or thermal layers.
How do I clean the jacket?
The jacket can be machine washed at 40°C with similar colors. Avoid using bleach, fabric softeners, or ironing. Tumble dry on a low heat setting.
What does 'packaway' mean?
'Packaway' means the jacket is designed to be folded or rolled up into a very small size, making it easy to carry in a backpack or bag for convenience.
What is the breathability rating (g/m²/24hrs)?
The jacket has a breathability rating of 5000g/m²/24hrs, indicating its capacity to allow water vapor to pass through.
Can the hood be removed?
No, the hood is a 'grown-on' hood, meaning it is permanently attached to the jacket.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency decreasing over time
Re-waterproof the jacket using a suitable spray or wash-in product designed for outdoor apparel. Follow the product's instructions carefully.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of wax (like a candle or beeswax) or a silicone lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
Jacket feels clammy inside
Ensure the jacket is not too tightly layered underneath. The moisture-wicking properties work best with some air circulation. Check that the garment is clean, as dirt can impede breathability.
