Constructed with a Taslan-style 100% polyester weave, the Happy Cherry Dinosaur Windbreaker offers a matte finish that is more resistant to surface scuffs than standard shiny polyester. This shell is designed primarily to mitigate wind-chill during outdoor activities such as camping or school recess. A Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating is applied to the surface to help moisture bead off during light mist, though the absence of taped seams indicates it is not intended for use in heavy or sustained rain.
The interior features a lightweight mesh lining, which helps manage comfort by creating a small air gap between the wearer and the outer fabric. The jacket includes a functional hood and a nylon coil zipper. Notably, this model features unique 3D-spine appliques that provide a playful aesthetic for children. Key functional features include:
- High-density weave for effective wind blocking in mild temperatures.
- Elasticized 0.5-inch cuffs to prevent the sleeves from interfering with play.
- A mesh interior that assists with passive air circulation.
To maintain the 3D graphics and the effectiveness of the water-repellent coating, it is recommended to avoid high-heat drying. Applying a small amount of lubricant to the zipper can also help prevent snagging if the jacket is frequently used in sandy or dusty environments. This windbreaker is a helpful layer for breezy days between 50 and 65 degrees Fahrenheit.
If your child needs a heavier layer with thermal fleece for colder mornings, the Happy Cherry fleece-lined series provides more warmth.
