FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

No, this windbreaker is designed for protection against rain and wind. It is a lightweight shell and does not provide thermal insulation for cold temperatures. Layering with warmer garments underneath is recommended for colder conditions.

How do I know if I've chosen the right size?

The jacket features a regular fit. Refer to the product sizing information or consider your typical layering needs. The adjustable hood and hem allow for some fit customization.

What does '100% recycled polyamide' mean?

It means the nylon fabric used in the jacket is made from post-consumer or post-industrial waste materials, reducing the need for virgin resources and minimizing waste.

Can I wear this jacket in heavy rain?

Yes, with a 10,000mm water column rating and DWR treatment, it offers significant protection against moderate to heavy rain. The heat-taped seams further enhance its waterproof capabilities.

How do I properly clean the jacket to maintain its performance?

Machine wash on a delicate cycle at 30°C, do not bleach, do not tumble dry, do not iron, and do not dry clean. Always wash separately and protect accessories. Refer to the care label for full details.

What is the purpose of the ventilation cut-out on the back?

The cut-out provides additional airflow and breathability, helping to regulate body temperature and prevent moisture buildup during physical activity.

Does the jacket have a removable hood?

No, the hood is fixed and features an adjustable drawstring for a snugger fit.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels damp inside despite no rain

This could be due to reduced breathability. Ensure the garment is clean and check care label instructions for proper washing. Excessive perspiration can also contribute; consider layering with moisture-wicking base layers.

Water is penetrating the seams

The heat-taped seams may be compromised. Review care instructions to ensure washing methods haven't damaged the seals. If damage is visible, professional repair might be needed.

Zipper is difficult to operate

Ensure the fabric around the zipper is not caught. Gently try to free the zipper. If it remains stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.

Jacket is not packing down easily

Ensure the jacket is completely dry and clean before attempting to pack it into its pocket. Smooth out wrinkles as much as possible during the packing process.
