FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof or water-resistant?
The jacket is described as water-repellent with taped seams and a storm flap, making it suitable for light rain and showers. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, a fully waterproof jacket might be more appropriate.
How do I know if I should size up?
The description suggests it might have a snug fit. If your child is between sizes or you prefer a looser fit for layering, ordering one size up is recommended.
Can this jacket be worn in cold weather?
This jacket is lightweight and designed for protection against rain and wind. It does not have insulation, so for cold weather, it should be layered over warm clothing like fleeces or jumpers.
How do I clean the jacket?
You can machine wash it on a gentle cycle at 40°C with similar colours. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. It can be tumble dried on low or hung to dry, and should not be ironed or dry-cleaned.
What does 'packaway' mean?
Packaway means the jacket is designed to be folded down into a small, compact size, often into its own pocket or a separate small pouch, making it easy to carry when not in use.
What is the breathability rating?
The jacket has a breathability rating of 5000g/m²/24hrs, which indicates its ability to allow moisture vapor (sweat) to escape from the inside.
Does the hood offer a snug fit?
Yes, the hood is a grown-on style with elasticated detailing, designed to provide a more secure and closer fit around the head.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems reduced
The water-repellent finish may diminish over time with washing. Consider using a specific re-waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment designed for outdoor clothing to restore its effectiveness.
Jacket feels damp inside after use
This could be due to extreme exertion causing sweat to build up, or the jacket may be overloaded with moisture in heavy rain. Ensure the jacket is properly zipped and consider that the breathability rating is suitable for the activity level and weather conditions.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Ensure the zipper area is clean and free of debris. Gently run a graphite pencil or a bit of wax along the zipper teeth to help it glide more smoothly. Avoid forcing the zipper.
