FAQs
What age group is this suit designed for?
This suit is designed for kids. Please refer to the sizing guide for specific age and size recommendations.
Is the suit suitable for very cold weather?
The suit provides waterproof protection but limited insulation. For cold weather, layer warm clothing underneath.
How do I clean the suit?
Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Do not use fabric softener. Air dry and do not iron.
Are the seams truly waterproof?
Yes, the suit features fully taped seams to prevent water penetration, alongside the PU-coated fabric.
Does the pink colour fade easily?
The colour is designed for outdoor wear. To preserve colour vibrancy, avoid prolonged direct sunlight when drying and wash according to care instructions.
Can I tumble dry the suit?
No, the suit should not be tumble dried. Hang it to air dry away from direct heat sources.
What does 'PU coated' mean?
PU (Polyurethane) coating is applied to the fabric to make it waterproof and windproof. It creates a barrier that prevents water from passing through.
Troubleshooting
Suit is no longer waterproof
Check if seams are fully taped and intact. Wash with a mild detergent and consider applying a specialist re-proofer spray suitable for PU-coated fabrics. Ensure no fabric softener was used during washing.
Elasticated cuffs feel loose
While the elastic is designed for comfort, significant stretching can occur with heavy use. Ensure the suit is the correct size; if too large, the elastic may not feel snug. No repair is typically available for stretched elastic.
Child feels warm or sweaty inside the suit
This is a common characteristic of PU-coated waterproof materials, which are not highly breathable. Ensure the child is not over-layered underneath. For milder wet weather, consider a lighter waterproof jacket and trousers instead of a full suit.
