Product Information
Full details
The Game Trekker Waterproof Jacket is an essential outerwear choice for active kids who enjoy exploring the outdoors regardless of the weather. Designed with a four-way stretch polyester material and a specialized GameTek membrane, it offers excellent freedom of movement and reliable protection against rain and wind. While it provides high-performance weatherproofing, parents should note that like many technical shells, regular maintenance of the outer fabric is required to preserve its water-repellent finish over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the jacket, simply attach the hood via the integrated zipper if full coverage is required. When cleaning, always follow the care label instructions; generally, avoid harsh detergents and fabric softeners, as these can strip the technical coating from the fabric. It is recommended to wash the jacket in cool water and hang it to dry. If the water-beading effect on the surface begins to fail, you may need to apply a technical re-proofing spray to restore the outer DWR (Durable Water Repellent) layer. Store the jacket in a cool, dry place to prevent mold growth on the lining.
