FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof or water-repellent?
This jacket is described as water-repellent, meaning it's designed to protect against light rain and showers. For prolonged or heavy rainfall, a fully waterproof jacket might be more suitable.
How do I find the right size for my child?
Refer to the provided size guide, which lists chest measurements for various age groups (e.g., 1-2 Years: 21.5 in, 9-10 Years: 29 in). It's recommended to measure your child's chest for the most accurate fit.
Can this jacket be washed in a machine?
Yes, the jacket is machine washable at 40°C. It's advised to wash it with similar colors and avoid bleaching or ironing.
How does the packaway feature work?
The jacket is designed to be folded or rolled into a compact size, making it easy to store in a bag or pocket when not in use. Specific folding instructions are usually found on the product's care label.
What does the breathability rating of 5000g/m²/24hrs mean?
This rating indicates the amount of water vapor that can pass through one square meter of the fabric in a 24-hour period. A rating of 5000g/m²/24hrs suggests good breathability, helping to keep the wearer comfortable by allowing sweat to escape.
Is the hood adjustable?
The hood is described as 'grown-on' and 'elasticated,' meaning it has elasticated edges to help it fit snugly around the head for better protection.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is not repelling water effectively.
Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can compromise water repellency. Re-waterproofing treatments may be needed if the effect diminishes significantly over time. Check that all seams are intact.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Apply a small amount of wax (like a candle or chapstick) to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
Jacket feels damp inside after wear.
This could be due to high humidity or intense physical activity. Ensure the jacket is properly zipped and the hood is used to maximize protection. The breathability rating helps manage moisture, but extreme conditions might still lead to some internal dampness.
