FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for very cold winter temperatures?
The jacket features Warmloft synthetic insulation, providing good warmth. However, for extreme cold, layering with additional thermal clothing underneath is recommended.
What does 'Isotex 10000' mean?
Isotex 10000 indicates that the fabric has a hydrostatic head rating of 10,000mm and a breathability rating of 10,000g/m²/24hrs. This signifies good waterproofing and breathability.
Can I wash this jacket in a washing machine?
Yes, the jacket can be machine washed at 40°C using a mild liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach.
How do I maintain the waterproofness of the jacket?
To maintain waterproofness, avoid fabric softeners and periodically re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish after washing.
What is the 'Grown On Hood' feature?
A 'Grown On Hood' is a hood that is permanently attached to the jacket's neckline during the manufacturing process.
Does the jacket have a name label?
Yes, the jacket includes a printed name label, but this feature is only available for sizes up to Age 8.
Can I tumble dry the jacket?
Yes, the jacket can be tumble dried on a low heat setting. Do not iron it.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof
The DWR finish may have worn off. Wash the jacket according to care instructions, then apply a suitable re-proofing spray or wash-in treatment for outerwear.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a toothbrush and mild soap. Lubricate with a wax-based product like a candle or specialized zipper lubricant.
Jacket feels cold despite insulation
Ensure all adjustable cuffs and hems are tightened to prevent drafts. Check that the inner layers worn underneath are also providing adequate warmth.
Child feels damp inside the jacket
While the jacket is breathable, high-intensity activity can lead to some internal moisture. Ensure appropriate base layers are worn, and check that the jacket is not too tight, allowing for air circulation.
