FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
The jacket is water-repellent, meaning it is designed for light rain and moisture, but it is not fully waterproof for heavy downpours.
What is the fit of the jacket?
It features a regular fit, providing a balanced silhouette that is neither too tight nor overly baggy.
How do I choose the right size?
The jacket is available in multiple sizes. Refer to your typical size as it follows a standard regular fit, but consider sizing up if you plan to wear thick layers underneath.
Can I put this jacket in the dryer?
It is highly recommended to air dry the jacket to avoid heat damage to the synthetic fabric and the ribbing.
What material is this specific jacket made of?
This model is constructed from durable polyester, known for its weather resistance and longevity.
Troubleshooting
Water starts soaking into the fabric instead of beading.
The water-repellent coating may be wearing off. Clean the jacket and re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray.
Zip becomes difficult to slide.
Check for debris or fabric caught in the teeth. If clean, a small amount of clear candle wax or graphite can help lubricate the track.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your jacket in peak condition, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a gentle, cool machine wash cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can strip the water-repellent treatment.
- Drying: Air dry the jacket in a shaded area away from direct sunlight to maintain fabric integrity.
- Maintenance: If you notice water no longer beads off the surface after extensive use, consider applying a garment-safe water-repellent spray to restore its performance.
- Storage: Hang the jacket on a shaped hanger in a cool, dry place to ensure the shoulder structure remains intact.
