Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
No, the jacket is water-resistant, meaning it can repel light rain and showers. It is not designed for heavy downpours or prolonged exposure to wet conditions.
What type of activities is this jacket best suited for?
It is ideal for cycling and general everyday wear, particularly in cool or breezy conditions where protection from wind and light rain is needed.
How do I adjust the hood?
The hood can be adjusted using the drawcords, typically located around the hood opening, to achieve a snug and secure fit around your face.
Can I wear a thick sweater underneath?
The jacket is designed to be layered. While you can wear a sweater, a very bulky one might restrict movement. It's best suited for a base layer or a lighter fleece.
What does 'scooped back' mean?
A scooped back means the rear of the jacket is cut longer than the front, providing extra coverage and protection when in a forward-leaning position, such as when cycling.
How should I care for the jacket to maintain its performance?
Follow the machine wash instructions carefully and avoid fabric softener. Periodically re-proofing the fabric will help maintain its water and wind-resistant properties.
What is the 'comparable price' mentioned in the product description?
The comparable price is an estimation by Mountain Warehouse's buying and sourcing teams of what a product of similar quality would cost at full retail from other leading brands. It does not reflect a former selling price of this specific item.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems reduced
The water-repellent treatment may have worn off. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and re-apply a suitable waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to close
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Apply a graphite pencil or wax to the zipper teeth to help it glide more smoothly.
Jacket feels too tight or too loose
Adjust the drawcords on the hem and cuffs for a more personalized fit. If the overall fit is incorrect, consider a different size.
Fleece lining feels matted
Ensure the jacket is dried properly according to care instructions. Avoid excessive heat during drying, which can damage the fleece.
