Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup Instructions
The jacket is ready to wear straight out of its packaging. If the fur trim is not already attached, simply use the designated fastenings (e.g., small buttons or loops) on the hood to secure it.
Compatibility
This specific jacket is designed for boys aged 5-6 (UK sizing). Always ensure accurate measurements for chest, waist, and arm length to choose the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. It is compatible with various layering options, from light t-shirts to fleeces, depending on the prevailing weather conditions.
Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and performance of your waterproof jacket:
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Close all zips and fastenings before washing. It is important to not use fabric softener, as it can impair the waterproof coating.
- Drying: Air dry thoroughly away from direct heat. Tumble drying is not recommended as it can damage the waterproof membrane and fur trim.
- Fur Trim Care: If the fur trim is detachable, remove it before washing the main jacket. Hand wash the fur trim separately with mild soap and cold water, then air dry flat. Do not machine wash or tumble dry the fur trim.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: Over time, the factory-applied Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating may need re-treating. Use a suitable DWR spray or wash-in product as per the product's instructions, typically after several washes, to restore water repellency.
- Storage: Store the jacket in a cool, dry place. Ensure it is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew or damage to the waterproof coating.
