FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, the Berghaus Kirkhale Insulated Jacket features a water-resistant fabric, meaning it repels light rain and splashes. It is not fully waterproof and is not designed for heavy downpours or prolonged exposure to wet conditions.
What is the insulation made of?
The jacket is insulated with synthetic polyester wadding, which provides cozy warmth and performs well even if it gets slightly damp.
What age is the 1-2 UK size designed for?
The 1-2 UK size is typically designed for young toddlers, generally aged between 12 months and 24 months. For a precise fit, always refer to the brand's specific size chart based on your child's measurements.
Can this jacket be worn in snowy conditions?
For light, dry snow, this jacket can provide warmth, especially when layered. However, for heavy, wet snow or extended play in snow, a fully waterproof outer layer would be more appropriate to ensure your child stays completely dry.
How do I use the woven-in name patch?
The woven-in name patch is located inside the jacket, usually near the collar or hem. You can write your child's name directly onto the patch with a permanent fabric marker, making it easy to identify their jacket at school or daycare.
What is Ripstop Polyamide fabric?
Ripstop Polyamide is a durable, lightweight fabric woven with a special reinforcing technique that makes it resistant to tearing and ripping. This enhances the jacket's longevity and ability to withstand active play.
Troubleshooting
Jacket doesn't seem warm enough in cold weather.
Ensure your child is wearing appropriate base and mid-layers underneath for colder conditions. While insulated, this jacket is designed for moderate cold. For very low temperatures, additional layering or a heavier outer shell might be necessary.
Water resistance seems to be diminishing.
Over time, the water-repellent finish can wear off. Ensure the jacket is cleaned according to care instructions, as dirt can hinder water resistance. Consider re-treating the outer fabric with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray specifically designed for outdoor apparel.
Zipper gets stuck or is difficult to operate.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper path. If the zipper is stiff, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or a graphite pencil lead to the teeth.
Jacket looks flat or less puffy after washing.
This is common with synthetic insulation. When tumble drying on a low heat setting, add a few clean tennis balls or dryer balls to the machine. These will help to agitate and redistribute the insulation, restoring the jacket's loft.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your jacket. Always check the garment's internal care label for the most accurate instructions. General care for this type of insulated jacket (100% Ripstop Polyamide with Polyester wadding) typically involves:
