FAQs
Is this jacket insulated?
No, the Hove Waterproof Windbreaker is designed for waterproofing and wind resistance, not heavy insulation. It is suitable for layering over warmer clothing in colder weather.
What is the fit of this raincoat?
The raincoat has a boxy fit through the body, offering a relaxed and casual silhouette.
How do I clean the raincoat?
The raincoat is machine washable. Follow the care label instructions, typically using a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Air dry the garment.
What does 'taped seams' mean?
Taped seams means that waterproof tape is applied over the sewn seams on the inside of the garment. This process seals any tiny holes made by the needle during stitching, ensuring the jacket is fully waterproof.
Can I adjust the fit of the hem?
Yes, the hem is adjustable with internal toggles, allowing you to cinch it tighter for a more customized fit and to help keep out wind and rain.
What material is the raincoat made from?
The outer shell is made from 100% Recycled Nylon, and the lining is 100% Recycled Polyester.
Does it have a hood?
Yes, it features a pack-away hood that can be stowed away when not in use for a cleaner look.
Troubleshooting
Water seeping through seams
Ensure all zippers are fully closed and poppers are fastened. Check care label for washing instructions; improper washing can affect waterproof treatment. Consider a re-waterproofing treatment if the issue persists after washing.
Hood does not stay packed away
Ensure the hood is fully dry and folded neatly before attempting to stow it in its designated compartment. Check for any obstructions within the stowage area.
Zip is stiff or difficult to use
Gently try to work the zipper up and down. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Jacket feels less waterproof after washing
Waterproof garments require specific care. Ensure you followed the machine wash instructions on the care label, using a mild detergent and avoiding fabric softener. Air dry completely. Consider using a specialized re-waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment designed for outdoor apparel.
