FAQ

Are they easy to clean?

Yes! I have been known to place my boy’s grubby pairs of Slicks® into a wash bag and throw them in with similar coloured items on a cold wash, gentle cycle. Before hanging them over the back railing to dry (this by the way does not take very long.) They are intact and still look like new years and heaps of uses later. However that said… I must point out….The care instructions sewn into your garment is what is recommended for the best care and longevity of your garment.

Will they really keep my toddler dry if he was to fall on his bottom into a puddle of water?

Yes they would keep him dry. With normal use Slicks® are waterproof enough to keep water out. However if you sat him there and let him soak for some time the dampness would begin to seep through in the contact area eventually.

Are they like those art smocks but pants?

No! When I designed Slicks® the one thing I wanted (besides them being waterproof and practical ) was for them to look and feel good. Our fabric is soft to wear and of a high quality not flimsy or cheap like some fabrics used in waterproof products. The designs have attention to detail and look so good kids can wear them any day.

Do they really work?

Yes they really work. Slicks® were designed to be a waterproof ‘play’ pant. They aren’t bullet proof! But they do, do the job they are intended for under what would be considered normal and reasonable use (and then some!) Customers who recommend us to their friends, customers who repeat order year in and out and my own two very active boys who wear them regularly are proof this is a product that works. Please see our testimonial page for pictures and comments from happy customers.

Will you do larger sizes?

It has been a long time coming but Slicks® are now available in some ranges up to size 6, suitable for most 6 to 7 year olds.

Can I get Slicks® from a retail store?

Yes. Run Jump Splash Play® has a national distributor that handles a large portion of retail outlets for us. Please look on our stockist’s page for a retailer near you. Please note that not all of the retailers that stock Slicks® will stock a full range of colours/ sizes or designs.

I don’t like ordering from web sites, can I order by post?

Yes. Slicks® can be ordered on-line, purchased at a selected retailers or if that does not suit, you can phone or post through your order. Please see contact details, get in touch and we will be happy to help you with your order however you choose to do it.

We have decided to include a sale page on our new site. The items listed on this page are available at the reduced price until sold through. We will also on occasions have special offers through out the year – when, what and how often is not fixed. All members on our data base will receive a simple email flyer letting you know when they are available so that you can take advantage of the offer if you wish.

Run Jump Splash Play® will gift wrap an item/s for a gift if especially requested. We use a coloured tissue wrap with our cute logo sticker. The swing tag will be left on as it does not have a price on it. Please let us know in advance if you want a message included – if it is being sent to the recipient.

I think the size one’s are going to be too big for my little girl, but she is crawling already and I really wanted a pair for outside. What would you suggest?

The size 1 will do the job. Slicks® pants are designed with an adjustable waist that is easily tightened if needed and as the legs (with the exception of the straight cut ) also have an elasticised ankle the length can easily be bunched up a little and still look good. Or alternatively we may have some size extra small’s still available, please see our ‘sale’ page.

My boys play rough on our large property. Will they last?

I have had Slicks® road tested by boys! There are always exceptions and extremes but I have found they grow out of them before they wear them out.

Can I use Slicks® in the snow?

Customers have purchased Slicks® for their snow holidays and all feed back to date says yes. They would not replace the thick padded ‘ski’ wear but they are certainly resilient enough to be used in the snow under reasonable conditions( and more affordable. ) One Mum said they were great over warm trackies, keeping the kids dry on a daily basis whilst out and about in the village.

Fashion & Function

What are Slicks® exactly? An easy care, practical and durable waterproof pant that looks good to!

Like most waterproof products made from PVC/ nylons or similar -Not recommended for excessively hot conditions.

Fabric and Colours

The water proof shell fabric of our Slicks® products is 100% Nylon.

The soft breathable mesh lining in our Slicks® products is cotton/nylon mix.

Colours will vary from season to season and from style to style.

In some instances ‘same’ colours can vary very fractionally as they may be cut from different roll/dye lot. It is a rarity, but to safe guard against this if you are considering a ‘set’ we suggest it best to order items at the same time rather than months apart.

Not bulky or industrial. Not flimsy and transparent. The fabric used to make Slicks® is strong and resilient yet still soft and pliable, making it easy and comfortable wear for young children.

Packaging

We decided to forgo the normal plastic or paper ‘packaging’ for all our Slicks® products, after all the world really does not need any more waste. The pants instead come in their own re-useable waterproof pouch, handy to pop into your mothers’ bag for emergency’s or your child’s back pack.
