FAQs

What age group is this jacket designed for?

This jacket is designed for kids, with sizes available for a range of ages, from younger children up to approximately 13 years old.

Is the jacket truly waterproof or just water-resistant?

The jacket is fully waterproof, featuring Isotex 20000 stretch fabric with taped seams and a durable water repellent finish to block rain effectively.

How should I clean the jacket?

Machine wash at 30°C with a mild detergent, rinse thoroughly, and tumble dry on a low setting or hang dry. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.

Can this jacket be worn in cold weather?

The jacket provides waterproof and windproof protection. For cold weather, it is best layered over warm clothing such as a fleece or insulated jacket.

What is the breathability rating of the fabric?

The fabric has a breathability rating of 20,000 g/m²/24 hours, meaning it allows a significant amount of moisture vapor to escape, keeping the wearer comfortable.

Are there any special features for visibility?

Yes, the jacket includes reflective trims to enhance visibility in low-light conditions, which is beneficial for safety during outdoor activities.

Does the hood offer good protection?

The jacket features a grown-on technical hood with a high collar and elastication, designed to provide good protection against wind and rain.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer waterproof

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Wash the jacket according to care instructions, then apply a re-proofing spray or wash-in treatment suitable for waterproof fabrics.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Clean the zipper teeth gently with a soft brush and a little water. Apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or a zipper lubricant) to the teeth to help it glide smoothly.

Mesh lining feels uncomfortable

Ensure the jacket is clean and free from detergent residue. If the issue persists, the mesh may not be to the wearer's preference for direct skin contact; wearing a long-sleeved base layer underneath can help.

Jacket feels clammy inside

This can occur if the jacket's breathability is overwhelmed by high activity levels or if the inner membrane is blocked. Ensure the jacket is clean and properly cared for. For very high exertion, consider lighter layers underneath.
