Decathlon | Kids' Winter Waterproof Hiking Parka SH500 Ultra-Warm 2-6 Years

Our engineers have designed this child's winter parka jacket for regularhiking in snow and windy weather conditions.#### How will this jacket keep my kid warm?This jacket has a double filling of "ball fibre" wadding which is a goodalternative to feather down:- like feathers, it is composed of multiple fibresthat are very good at trapping the air inside, thereby providing insulationfrom the cold- it offers good thermal insulation, even when wet- it is easy tomaintain: machine-washable and can be tumble dried.#### What is the comfort temperature of my jacket?We carry out a comparative study in a thermal laboratory in walking conditionsin light winds (5 km/h).The comfort temperature is the calculated airtemperature where 70% of users have a ""slightly warm"" thermal sensation.Forthis jacket, it's -5,5°C.However every individual feels the cold differently.#### How does my jacket protect me from outdoor conditions?Your jacket was designed with a waterproof outer component that prevents waterand wind from getting inside. To keep you warm in winter you must also protectyour extremities (head, hands, feet). The warm, waterproof attached hood withfur (non-removable), the ribbing at the cuffs, the high collar and the centralzip with windproof protection placket prevent the cold from getting inside.This jacket has 6 pockets including 2 soft and warm ones.#### How can I be sure that my jacket is 100% waterproof?The waterproofing of a fabric by a coating or a membrane is measured inSchmerbers or H²O mm (pressure of a water column). The higher this number, themore waterproof the fabric.This jacket has a waterproof component (JIS 1092standard) resistant to 5,000 mm H²O (Schmerbers) before washing.#### What is the meaning of: ""100% taped seams""?Your jacket is waterproof thanks to the fully taped seams. Waterproof tape isadded to the seams inside the garment to make them watertight so that watercannot enter through the more vulnerable areas.#### How to dress properly for hiking in cold weather?To dress properly in winter, whatever your activity, we recommend using the3-layer principle:layer 1: The high-tech base layer transfers moisture awayfrom the body to keep your skin dry.layer 2: The second layer (fleece,sweater) provides warmth and transfers moisture outwards.layer 3: The jacketprotects you from the outdoor conditions: rain, snow, wind.The whole outfitmust be breathable in order to eliminate moisture.#### WindproofThe fabric is made waterproof and windproof by applying a coating or membraneto the inside. Indeed, a waterproof fabric has the necessary technicalcharacteristics to be considered windproof. Wind protection is very importantbecause of the significant chill effect that wind can have on the body,whether you are active or at rest.#### How to preserve the technical qualities of my jacket?A fabric's water repellent property is its capacity to make water run off itssurface without seeping in. This prevents the fabric from soaking up water andkeeps it lightweight, warm and breathable. The water repellent property isachieved by treating the fabric's exterior. This treatment must be renewedthroughout the garment's lifespan (recommended after each wash). Products(spray or liquid) for this purpose are available in our stores.#### Will my jacket withstand regular use over the long-term?To ensure the durability of our products, we perform tests on components:resistance to rubbing and abrasion, colour fastness, resistance to repeatedwashing. All these tests have been carried out on the component on thisjacket.Extremely warm due to its ball-fibre stuffing inspired by natural down whilehaving the benefits of synthetic padding. This jacket guarantees excellentprotection against rain.##### WarmthComfort temperature: -5.5°CWadding (340 g/sqm) and warm hood##### WaterproofWaterproof coating 5,000 mm H²O (Schmerbers). 100% taped seams##### WindproofThe coating makes the fabric both waterproof and windproof##### Limits snow getting inAdjustable hood with fur trim, storm cuffs, rip-tab flap##### Ease of use4 secure pockets + 2 hand warming, adjustable hood depth with rip-tabOur engineers have designed this child's winter parka jacket for regularhiking in snow and windy weather conditions.
