FAQs

What makes this jacket 'Leaf'?

The 'Leaf' designation typically refers to the product line's commitment to using sustainable and environmentally friendly materials, as indicated by the use of recycled fabrics in this jacket.

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket is water-resistant, meaning it can withstand light to moderate rain for a period. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, additional waterproof layers may be necessary.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Ensure the jacket allows for comfortable movement without being too tight or too loose. The elasticated cuffs should fit snugly around your wrists without constricting. Refer to a size chart if available.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?

The jacket provides wind resistance and a fleece lining for warmth. For very cold conditions, it is best worn as an outer layer over insulating mid-layers.

Are the recycled fabrics as durable as virgin materials?

Yes, modern recycling processes ensure that the recycled polyester used in this jacket offers comparable durability and performance to virgin polyester.

What is the purpose of the back vent?

The back vent is designed to improve airflow and breathability, allowing excess heat and moisture to escape, thus enhancing comfort during physical activity.

Troubleshooting

Water resistance seems reduced.

Ensure the garment has not been washed with fabric softeners, which can impede water resistance. Check care label for any specific treatments needed to restore water repellency if applicable.

Jacket feels less breathable.

Clean the exterior fabric gently with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Ensure interior fleece is dry. Excessive dirt or residues can affect breathability.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If still stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a wax-based lubricant to the teeth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Compatibility: The jacket is designed as outerwear and can be layered over base layers or mid-layers for added warmth. It is suitable for adult males.

Care: To maintain the jacket's performance and longevity, adhere to the following washing instructions:

  • Maximum wash temperature: 30°C, mild process.
