Troubleshooting
Snowsuit is no longer waterproof
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Re-apply a DWR treatment suitable for waterproof and breathable fabrics, following product instructions. Ensure the garment is washed and dried correctly as per care instructions.
Child feels cold or damp inside
Check that all zips and fastenings are fully closed. Ensure the garment is layered appropriately underneath for the conditions. Washing with fabric softener can impede breathability; ensure only liquid detergent is used and the garment is rinsed thoroughly.
Zip is difficult to close or open
Check for any fabric caught in the zip. Ensure the zip is straight. Gently pull the fabric away from the zip path. If the zip is stiff, a small amount of wax or silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the teeth.
