Full details
The Game Trekker Waterproof Jacket is an essential outerwear choice for active kids who spend time outdoors in unpredictable weather. It provides a reliable barrier against rain and wind thanks to its technical membrane and taped seams, though it is specifically designed for light-to-moderate activity rather than extreme mountaineering environments. This jacket excels at keeping children dry and comfortable during school runs, park visits, or forest walks.

FAQs
Is the hood removable?
Yes, the jacket features a detachable hood that can be easily removed depending on the weather conditions.
What does 8000mm waterproof mean?
This is an industry-standard rating indicating the fabric can withstand the pressure of an 8000mm column of water before leakage occurs, making it suitable for moderate to heavy rain.
Is this jacket suitable for winter?
It provides a great outer shell to block wind and rain, but it is not heavily insulated; it is best worn over a fleece or thermal layer during colder months.
How do I adjust the wrists?
The jacket includes adjustable wrist straps that can be tightened to secure the sleeve around the wrist, preventing water from dripping inside.
Can I machine wash this jacket?
Yes, it is machine washable on a delicate cycle, though using a technical cleaner is recommended to preserve the waterproof membrane.
Troubleshooting
Water appears to seep through after heavy use
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating may need to be refreshed with a technical re-proofing spray.
The jacket feels damp inside
Check if the breathability is compromised by wearing too many non-wicking layers underneath; ensure the vents or zip are not obstructed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the jacket maintains its performance characteristics over time:
- Fitting: Adjust the waist and hem pull cords while the child is wearing a mid-layer to ensure the jacket isn't too tight or too loose.
- Cleaning: Hand wash or use a delicate cycle with a technical detergent. Avoid heavy fabric softeners, as these can strip the breathable membrane of its performance capabilities.
- Drying: Air dry the jacket on a hanger. Avoid using high heat in a tumble dryer, which may damage the taped seams and technical fabric.
- Storage: Hang the jacket in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid storing it while it is wet to prevent long-term damage to the material.
