FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
The Berghaus Kirkhale Baffle Jacket is water-resistant thanks to its polyamide ripstop outer fabric, offering protection against light rain and drizzles. However, it is not fully waterproof and is not designed for heavy downpours.
What is synthetic insulation?
Synthetic insulation, like the polyester wadding used in this jacket, is made from man-made fibers designed to mimic the insulating properties of down. It provides warmth even when damp and is generally easier to care for than down.
How do I choose the correct size for my child?
Refer to the Berghaus size guide for children's apparel. Measure your child's chest and height, and compare it to the guide. Consider if you want room for layering when making your selection.
Can this jacket be worn in snowy conditions?
Yes, with appropriate layering, the jacket provides good insulation for snowy conditions. Its water-resistant properties will help against light snow, but for heavy, wet snow or extended play, additional waterproof outerwear might be beneficial.
Does the jacket have a place for my child's name?
Yes, for sizes up to 10 years, the jacket features a woven inner name patch where you can write your child's name.
How should I store the jacket when not in use?
Store the jacket in a dry, well-ventilated area. Avoid compressing it tightly for long periods, as this can reduce the loft of the synthetic insulation over time. Hanging it in a closet is ideal.
Troubleshooting
Jacket doesn't seem warm enough.
Ensure the jacket is sized correctly and not too loose, which can allow cold air in. Check if your child is wearing appropriate layers underneath for the temperature. Utilize the fixed hood for extra head warmth.
Zipper is stiff or sticking.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to work the zipper up and down. If it persists, a small amount of zipper lubricant or graphite from a pencil can be applied to the teeth.
Jacket appears flat or less puffy after washing.
This is common with synthetic insulation. When tumble drying, use low heat and add 2-3 clean tennis balls or dryer balls. These will help agitate the insulation and restore its loft.
