FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
No, the jacket features a water-repellent finish which is effective against light rain and showers, but it is not fully waterproof. For heavy or prolonged rain, a waterproof jacket would be more suitable.
How warm is the Warmloft insulation?
Warmloft insulation is designed to provide excellent warmth without bulk, similar to down but with better performance when damp. It is suitable for cool to moderately cold conditions when worn appropriately layered.
Can I wash and tumble dry this jacket?
Yes, you can machine wash the jacket at 30°C and tumble dry on a low heat setting. Avoid bleach and do not iron.
What sizes are available?
This jacket is available in various kids' sizes, including the specific size mentioned (e.g., 7 Years), and other sizes such as 5-6 Years, 9-10 Years, 10, 13 Years, 14 Years, and 15-16 Years, in different color variations.
Does the hood have adjustable features?
The jacket has a grown-on hood with stretch binding to the opening, designed to fit snugly around the face for protection. It does not feature separate adjustment cords.
What material are the stretch panels made of?
The Extol Stretch panels are made from a blend of 60% polyester, 30% polyester, and 10% elastane.
Is there a reflective element for safety?
Yes, the jacket includes reflective trim to enhance visibility in low-light conditions.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels damp inside after light rain.
The jacket has a water-repellent finish, not a waterproof coating. For heavy or prolonged rain, a dedicated waterproof jacket is recommended. Ensure the jacket is fully dry before storing.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to free any obstructions. You can also use a graphite pencil tip or a silicone-based lubricant on the zipper teeth for smoother operation. Ensure zippers are clean.
Insulation feels less warm than expected.
Ensure the jacket is properly layered over appropriate base or mid-layers for the temperature. Check that the insulation is evenly distributed and hasn't become compacted. Follow washing instructions carefully to maintain loft.
Water repellency seems reduced.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish can wear off over time. Reapply a DWR treatment specifically designed for outdoor clothing after washing, following the product's instructions. Avoid using fabric softeners during washing.
