Jordan Winter Utility Gore-Tex Hooded Jacket - Black - XXL

Gore-Tex is a waterproof, breathable membrane that forms a protective layer. It is used in this jacket to keep you dry from external moisture (like rain and snow) while allowing internal moisture (like sweat) to escape, ensuring comfort during activity.

The jacket is designed for cold weather and offers significant warmth. For extremely low sub-zero temperatures, layering additional insulating garments underneath is recommended for optimal comfort.

The XXL size is intended for adult males who typically wear this size. It is recommended to check the specific size chart provided by the manufacturer for detailed measurements, as sizing can vary between brands. The description indicates it is designed for a larger fit.

Yes, you can machine wash the jacket, but it's crucial to follow specific care instructions. Use a mild liquid detergent, avoid bleach and fabric softeners, and rinse thoroughly. Refer to the care label for precise details.

The frequency depends on usage and environmental conditions. A general guideline is to re-apply when water no longer beads effectively on the fabric surface. This could be after several washes or significant wear.

This jacket is ideal for general outdoor activities in cold and wet weather, such as hiking, walking, commuting, or casual wear. Its style also makes it suitable for fans of the Air Jordan brand who want functional, weather-resistant apparel.

Yes, the hood features drawstrings that allow you to adjust its tightness and fit, providing enhanced protection against wind and rain when needed.

This indicates the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may be depleted. Try reactivating it by tumble drying on a medium heat setting. If ineffective, consider applying a new DWR treatment as per product instructions.

Ensure the jacket is properly ventilated and that all zippers and closures are sealed. If the issue persists, it might be due to the breathability of the Gore-Tex being compromised or the wearer experiencing heavy perspiration. Ensure proper washing techniques are used to maintain the membrane's performance.

Gently try to clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush to remove any debris. You can also apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.
