FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

Yes, the jacket features waterproof and breathable Isotex 10,000 fabric, which is designed to protect against heavy rain and keep your child dry.

What kind of insulation does it use?

The jacket uses Warmloft insulation, a lightweight synthetic fill that provides excellent warmth, even in damp conditions, without adding excessive bulk.

Are the reflective details permanent?

The reflective details are integrated into the jacket's design to enhance visibility. To maintain their effectiveness, follow the washing instructions carefully and avoid abrasive cleaning.

Can the hood be removed?

No, the sherpa-lined hood on the Valenta jacket is integrated and not designed to be removable. It provides continuous warmth and protection.

How do I ensure the best fit for my child?

The jacket features adjustable cuffs and waist to help achieve a snug and comfortable fit. Refer to the specific size (e.g., 7-8 years) and compare it with your child's measurements for optimal sizing.

Is this jacket breathable?

Absolutely. The Isotex 10,000 fabric is not only waterproof but also breathable, allowing moisture vapor from your child's body to escape, preventing them from feeling clammy during active play.

Troubleshooting

Jacket doesn't seem as waterproof as before.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish might be worn off. Wash the jacket following care instructions and then apply a DWR re-treatment spray or wash-in product to restore its water-shedding properties.

My child feels cold despite wearing the jacket.

Ensure the jacket is appropriately sized for a snug fit, and consider layering. In very cold conditions, multiple thin layers underneath (base layer, fleece) will provide better insulation than a single thick layer. Also, check that the cuffs and waist adjustments are tightened to prevent cold air entry.

The jacket appears dirty or stained.

Follow the washing instructions carefully: machine wash cold (30°C) with a mild liquid detergent. For tough stains, pre-treat gently with a suitable outdoor gear cleaner before washing. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Using the Valenta Hooded Jacket is straightforward. Simply help your child put on the jacket, ensuring the zipper is fully closed and the adjustable cuffs and waist are secured for a snug fit. The hood is integrated and ready to provide warmth and protection.

Compatibility:

  • Age Group: Designed for kids, specifically available in UK sizes like 7-8 years.
  • Gender: Unisex design, suitable for all children.
  • Material: Made from 100% Polyester for durability and weather resistance.
  • Activities: Ideal for hiking, outdoor play, school trips, and general use in cold or wet weather.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the jacket's waterproof and insulating properties, follow these care steps:

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C) with a mild liquid detergent. Avoid powder detergents, fabric softeners, and bleach, as these can damage the waterproof coating and insulation.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry. Avoid high heat, which can damage the fabric and insulation. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing.
  3. Waterproofing Re-treatment: Over time, the durable water repellent (DWR) finish may wear off. If water starts to soak into the fabric instead of beading up, re-treat the jacket with a DWR-restoring spray or wash-in product, following the product's specific instructions. This is crucial for maintaining breathability and waterproofing.
  4. Storage: Store the jacket in a dry, well-ventilated area. Avoid compressing it for long periods, as this can affect the loft of the insulation.
