FAQs

What type of weather is this jacket best suited for?

This jacket is ideal for cool, windy, and moderately wet conditions. It offers windproof, water-resistant (up to 5000mm), and breathable protection, making it suitable for spring, autumn, and mild winter days, or as a protective layer in changeable weather.

Can this jacket be worn in heavy rain?

While the jacket has a 5000mm waterproof rating and is showerproof, it is not designed for prolonged exposure to heavy downpours. For very heavy or persistent rain, a dedicated waterproof jacket with higher hydrostatic head rating would be more appropriate.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash cold (30°C) with similar colours using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or air dry. Do not bleach or iron.

Is the jacket insulated?

The jacket features a bonded microfleece lining, which provides a comfortable level of warmth and insulation suitable for moderate temperatures. It is not a heavy-duty winter parka but is designed to be layered effectively.

What does 'Triple Layer Fabric' mean?

Triple Layer Fabric typically refers to a construction where the outer shell, a waterproof/breathable membrane (often within the fabric layers), and an inner lining (in this case, microfleece) are bonded together to create a single, high-performance textile.

Can I add a logo or custom design to this jacket?

Yes, the jacket is suitable for embroidery, making it a good choice for corporate branding, team uniforms, or personalized designs.

What certifications does the jacket have regarding sustainability?

The jacket is certified by Amfori, Better Cotton Initiative, BSCI, Fair Labor Association, Oeko-Tex Standard 100 Certified, and WRAP Certified, indicating adherence to ethical labor practices and environmental standards.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is not as water-resistant as before

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Re-apply a DWR treatment according to the product's instructions to restore water repellency.

Zipper is sticking

Gently pull the zipper up and down. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.

Jacket feels clammy inside

Ensure the jacket is not too heavily layered underneath for the current activity level. Check that the fabric's breathability is not compromised by dirt or residue; consider a gentle wash.

Adjustable cuffs won't stay fastened

Ensure the touch fastening tabs are clean and free of lint or debris. If the hook-and-loop fastener is worn, it may need replacement.

Pros and Cons

  • Excellent water and wind resistance for its class.
  • Breathable fabric prevents overheating during activity.
  • Durable construction suitable for regular use.
  • Multiple pockets offer convenient storage.
  • Adjustable features enhance fit and comfort.
  • Commitment to sustainable and ethical production.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This jacket requires no setup; it is ready to wear upon purchase.

Compatibility: The jacket is designed for adult males and is suitable for a wide range of activities. It can be layered over base layers or lighter mid-layers for added warmth. It is also suitable for embroidery, making it a good option for team branding or personalization.

Care Instructions: To maintain the jacket's performance and longevity:

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C or 86°F) with similar colours. Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can degrade the fabric's performance and waterproof coating.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to air dry. Avoid using high heat, which can damage the fabric and its protective treatments.
  3. Re-waterproofing: If the water-repellent finish begins to wear off, consider using a re-waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment specifically designed for technical outerwear. Follow the product instructions carefully.
  4. Cleaning Pockets: Ensure all pockets are empty before washing. Clean any debris from pocket linings.
