Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof
Clean the jacket according to care instructions. Ensure all seams are intact. Consider applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment designed for technical outerwear.
Zipper is difficult to move
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Apply a small amount of wax or graphite from a pencil to the zipper teeth.
Child feels cold in the jacket
This jacket is a waterproof shell. For colder weather, layer additional insulating clothing underneath, such as a fleece or down jacket, to provide warmth.
Hood doesn't stay securely in place
Ensure the hood is properly attached if it's removable. Check that the elasticated features on the cuffs and hem are snug and properly fitted to the child.
