Product Information
Full details
This Mountain Warehouse Childrens/Kids Printed Ski Jacket Set in Pink Geometric is designed for young adventurers aged 9-10 years, offering warmth and protection during snowy activities. Its key benefit is the snowproof fabric technology combined with a fleece lining for insulation. A potential caveat is that it's a set, meaning trousers and jacket are bundled, so ensure both fit well. The set features a durable ripstop outer, adjustable cuffs, a grown-on hood, and practical pockets including a ski pass pocket.

FAQs
What is Ripstop fabric?
Ripstop is a weaving technique designed to make fabric resistant to tearing and ripping. It involves reinforcing the weave with stronger threads at regular intervals.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the size chart provided by Mountain Warehouse, which typically uses UK children's sizing. The measurements given are usually for the garment itself.
Can this set be worn for activities other than skiing?
Yes, the set is suitable for any cold or snowy weather activity, including playing in the snow, winter walks, and general outdoor use during colder months.
Is the hood detachable?
The product description indicates a 'Grown On Hood,' which means it is permanently attached to the jacket.
What does 'Snowproof' mean?
Snowproof means the fabric is treated or constructed to prevent snow and light moisture from penetrating the material, helping to keep the wearer dry.
How often should I reapply waterproofing treatment?
Reapplication frequency depends on usage and washing. It's generally recommended to reapply when you notice water is no longer beading on the fabric surface after washing.
Troubleshooting
Water ingress despite snowproof treatment
Ensure all zips and fastenings are fully closed. Check for any damage to the fabric or seams. Reapply a suitable waterproofing treatment if necessary, following product instructions.
Child feels cold
Layering is key. Ensure the child is wearing appropriate base and mid-layers underneath the jacket and trousers. Check that cuffs and ankles are securely fastened to prevent drafts.
Zipper is stiff or stuck
Gently try to move the zipper. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Trousers are difficult to put on over boots
Ensure the ankle zips are fully open before attempting to pull the trousers over boots. The snowskirt should be tucked inside the boot or folded neatly.
