FAQs
What does 'Isotex 10000' mean?
Isotex 10000 is a waterproof and breathable fabric technology. The '10000' indicates its performance rating: it can withstand 10,000mm of water pressure and is breathable to 10,000g/m²/24hrs, meaning it's suitable for moderate to heavy rain and active use.
Is the hood removable?
The jacket features a 'grown-on hood,' which means it is attached to the jacket and is not designed to be removed.
Can I put this jacket in the tumble dryer?
Yes, the jacket can be tumble dried on a low heat setting. This is often recommended after washing to help reactivate the DWR finish.
What is 'Warmloft' filling?
Warmloft is a synthetic insulation designed to mimic the performance of down, offering excellent warmth without the bulk and retaining its insulating properties even when damp.
What is the benefit of the DWR finish?
DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. This finish causes water to bead up and roll off the fabric's surface, preventing it from soaking into the material and maintaining the jacket's breathability and waterproofness.
Is there a way to add a name label for younger children?
Yes, for children up to Age 8, the jacket includes a printed name label for easy identification.
How do I care for the jacket to maintain its waterproof properties?
Follow the washing instructions carefully, using a liquid detergent and avoiding fabric conditioner. After washing, re-proof the jacket with a suitable water repellent treatment and tumble dry on a low heat to reactivate the finish.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof.
Ensure the DWR finish is intact. After washing, re-apply a suitable water repellent treatment and tumble dry on low heat to reactivate it. Check that all seams are taped and intact.
Child feels cold despite wearing the jacket.
Verify that the cuffs and hem are adjusted snugly to prevent drafts. Consider layering additional warm clothing underneath the jacket, especially in very cold conditions.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Gently try to work the zipper up and down. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. If the issue persists, a small amount of graphite from a pencil can be rubbed on the teeth to help it glide.
