MATWAI softshell jacket is a three-layer windproof jacket for smaller children, combining a recycled polyester outer, a polyurethane membrane and a soft fleece backing in one construction. The jacket is highly water-repellent rather than waterproof, which matters when choosing it for light rain and wind rather than prolonged downpours. A detachable pointed hood, offset front zip and chest pocket suit nursery drop-offs, playground sessions and changeable outdoor days without adding unnecessary bulk.

The untaped seams set a clear classification: the 12,000 mm (WP) water column describes the fabric's own resistance, whilst the complete jacket remains water-repellent rather than waterproof, since water can still enter through the seam construction. This distinction is important for parents comparing transitional jackets and understanding what the jacket can handle during everyday use.

Wind protection and a comfortable inner surface come from the three-layer softshell construction, which blocks cold air whilst keeping the inside soft against the skin. The 8,000 g/m²/24h breathability helps heat and moisture escape during active play, reducing the damp feeling that can follow energetic movement in less breathable outerwear. The pointed hood's press-stud fastening allows it to come off quickly on milder days, and the offset front zip keeps the closure away from the chin when fully done up.
