What material is the jacket made from?
The main fabric is 100% Ripstop Polyamide, and it features polyester wadding for light insulation.
What kind of weather is this jacket suitable for?
It is ideal for cooler days with light wind or occasional drizzles, providing light insulation and protection. It is not designed for extreme cold or heavy downpours.

Can I write my child's name on the jacket?
Yes, the jacket comes with a convenient woven-in name patch specifically designed for personalization, making it easy to identify.
How should I wash this jacket?
While general care for synthetic jackets involves a gentle machine wash in cold water and air drying, always check the specific care label inside your jacket for the most accurate instructions. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.
Is this jacket heavy or bulky?
No, the jacket is designed with light insulation (polyester wadding) to provide warmth without being heavy or bulky, allowing for comfortable movement during active play.
Troubleshooting
Jacket doesn't seem to be keeping my child warm enough.
This jacket features light insulation suitable for cooler conditions. For colder weather, consider layering with a fleece or thermal base layer underneath. Ensure the jacket fits correctly, as an oversized jacket can trap less warmth.
Water appears to be soaking through the fabric.
The jacket is water-resistant, not fully waterproof. It's designed to protect from light moisture and drizzles. In heavy rain, water may eventually penetrate. For extended exposure to wet conditions, a fully waterproof jacket is recommended.
Zipper feels stiff or gets stuck.
Ensure no fabric or lining is caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to work the zipper up and down. If persistent, a small amount of zipper lubricant (like a pencil lead or specialized wax) can sometimes help, applied carefully to the teeth.
Elasticated hood or cuffs feel too tight or too loose.
The elasticated features are designed for a standard fit. If they feel consistently uncomfortable, verify the jacket size is appropriate for your child. Consider sizing up if too tight, or if too loose, it might indicate an incorrect size.

Care
The jacket is made from 100% Ripstop Polyamide fabric with Polyester wadding. To maintain its water-resistant properties and insulation:
- Cleaning: Typically, synthetic jackets can be machine washed on a gentle cycle with cold water. Fasten all zippers before washing.
- Drying: Air dry away from direct heat. Tumble drying on low heat may be an option, but air drying is often preferred to preserve fabric integrity.
- Avoid: Do not use bleach or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the water-resistant coating and insulation. Do not dry clean.
> Info needed: Always refer to the specific care label inside the garment for precise washing and drying instructions to ensure longevity.
