Troubleshooting
Water soaking through the outer fabric
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may have worn off. Wash the jacket and re-apply a DWR spray designed for technical outerwear.
Child feels clammy inside the jacket
Ensure the child is wearing breathable base layers instead of heavy cotton, which traps moisture against the skin.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a technical garment, proper maintenance is vital to preserving its waterproof capabilities. Always close all zippers and fastenings before washing to avoid snagging the fabric. Machine wash the jacket in cool water with a mild detergent on a gentle cycle. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the durable water-repellent (DWR) coating from the outer shell. Air drying is highly recommended to protect the integrity of the heat-sealed seams; if you must use a tumble dryer, choose a low heat setting. To check for compatibility, ensure the inner layers worn by the child are moisture-wicking, as this maximizes the breathability of the DryVent™ membrane.
