FAQs

What is the primary function of the H2OShield technology?

H2OShield is a fabric technology that enhances the jacket's ability to repel water and protect against wind, contributing to overall comfort in adverse weather conditions.

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket has a durable water-repellent finish and is water-repellent, making it suitable for light rain and drizzle. For prolonged or heavy downpours, a waterproof jacket would provide better protection.

How does the recycled material impact the jacket's performance?

The use of recycled polyester does not compromise the jacket's performance in terms of water repellency, wind resistance, or insulation. It offers a more sustainable option without sacrificing functionality.

Can I wear a thick fleece under this jacket?

Due to its relaxed fit, you can comfortably wear a base layer and a medium-weight fleece underneath for added warmth in colder conditions.

How do I check my size using the provided measurements?

Measure the circumference of your chest at the fullest part. Compare this measurement to the sizing chart provided: S (38 in), M (40 in), L (43 in), XL (46 in), XXL (49 in), 3XL (52 in).

What type of neckline does the jacket have?

The jacket features a high-neck design, which offers additional protection against wind and cold.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency seems reduced.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off over time. Clean the jacket and apply a specific reproofing spray suitable for outdoor apparel, following the product's instructions.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and mild soap and water. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to the teeth.

Jacket feels less windproof than before.

Ensure all zippers are fully closed. Over time, the fabric's inherent wind resistance can diminish slightly with wear. Regular cleaning can help maintain its performance.
