What is the GSM of the fabric?
The fabric has a weight of 265gsm (grams per square meter).
Is this jacket waterproof or water-repellent?
The jacket features a durable water-repellent finish, meaning it can resist light rain and moisture, but it is not fully waterproof like a hardshell.
Can I machine wash this jacket?
Yes, you can machine wash it on a cool setting using pure soap flakes. Avoid standard detergents and fabric softeners.
What makes this jacket suitable for printing?
The fabric is specifically engineered to accept screen-printing, transfer printing, and vinyl printing applications without compromising its technical properties.
What are the benefits of the shockcord hem?
The shockcord hem allows you to adjust the fit, tightening it to prevent wind from entering and to help retain warmth.
Does this jacket have a hood?
This model features a standing collar for wind protection, but it does not come with a hood.
What are the dimensions for the XXXXL size?
The XXXXL size corresponds to a chest measurement of 54 inches.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems reduced.
Ensure the jacket is washed with pure soap flakes and avoid fabric conditioners. Reapply a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment if necessary, following product instructions.
Jacket feels stiff after washing.
This can sometimes occur if incorrect detergents are used. Try re-washing with pure soap flakes on a cool cycle and air dry.
Print is peeling or damaged.
This usually indicates an issue with the application process. Ensure correct temperatures and pressures were used during printing. Refer to the printing method's specific guidelines for softshell fabrics.
Zipper is difficult to use.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. If the zipper track is dry, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or wax can help lubricate it.
