FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
The jacket features a durable water repellent (DWR) finish, making it water-repellent and suitable for light rain. For prolonged or heavy downpours, additional waterproof layers may be necessary.
What is the primary benefit of the Softshell fabric?
The Softshell fabric provides a combination of warmth, stretch for mobility, wind resistance, and water repellency, making it a versatile choice for outdoor activities.
How do I maintain the water-repellent properties?
To maintain the DWR finish, it's recommended to re-apply a suitable water-repellent treatment periodically, especially after washing. Always follow the care instructions for both the jacket and the treatment product.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
The jacket offers good wind resistance and a warm-backed lining, making it suitable for cool conditions. For very cold weather, layering with additional insulating garments is recommended.
How should I wash the jacket?
Machine wash at 40°C with similar colours. Do not bleach. Tumble dry on a low heat setting and iron on a low heat. Ensure all zippers are closed before washing.
What does 'warm-backed' mean?
'Warm-backed' refers to a soft, fleece-like lining on the inside of the fabric that provides insulation and a comfortable feel against the skin.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency decreasing
Re-apply a durable water-repellent (DWR) treatment following the product's instructions. Ensure the jacket is clean before application.
Jacket feels stiff after washing
Check that you have followed the washing and drying instructions carefully. Tumble drying on a low heat can often restore softness.
Zippers are difficult to use
Ensure zippers are clear of debris. You can use a graphite pencil or a silicone-based lubricant sparingly on the zipper teeth.
