FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket features an H2OShield water-repellent finish, which is effective against light rain and splashes. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, additional waterproof gear may be necessary.

What is the main benefit of the microfleece back?

The striped microfleece back provides an additional layer of insulation, enhancing warmth without adding bulk, making the jacket comfortable in cooler temperatures.

Can I wear this jacket in windy conditions?

Yes, the jacket is designed to be wind-resistant, helping to shield you from chilly winds and maintaining comfort outdoors.

How should I clean the jacket to maintain its performance?

Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle, do not bleach, and tumble dry on low or hang dry. Periodically reapply a water-repellent spray to maintain the H2OShield finish.

What kind of material is the jacket made from?

The jacket features a stretch polyester outer with a striped microfleece back.

Does the jacket have internal pockets?

The product description mentions 'Zipped pockets', implying external zippered pockets for secure storage. Internal pocket details are not specified.

What does 'agile design' mean in relation to this jacket?

The 'agile design' refers to the jacket's construction, particularly the stretch fabric, which allows for easy movement and flexibility, making it practical for active wear.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency is reduced.

The H2OShield finish may need reapplication. Use a suitable reproofing spray according to the product's instructions. Ensure the jacket is clean before application.

Jacket feels less warm than expected.

Consider layering with additional thermal clothing underneath. The microfleece lining provides moderate insulation; for colder conditions, combine with a warmer base or mid-layer.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.

Gently work the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
