Lyle and Scott Zip Through Hooded Jacket - Black

No, this Lyle & Scott Hooded Jacket is water-resistant, not fully waterproof. It provides protection against light rain and moisture, making it suitable for mild wet weather, but it will not keep you dry during heavy or prolonged downpours.

The outer shell of the jacket is made from Polyester, which contributes to its water-resistant properties and lightweight feel.

For best results and to maintain its properties, machine wash cold with similar colors on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent and avoid bleach or fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or, preferably, hang dry. Do not iron or dry clean.

This jacket offers lightweight protection and is primarily designed for transitional seasons like spring and autumn. It does not provide significant insulation for very cold winter conditions. For winter, it would be best used as a light outer layer over warmer clothing or underneath a heavier winter coat.

A regular fit means the jacket is cut to provide comfortable room around the chest, waist, and arms without being overly tight or baggy. This fit is ideal for everyday wear and allows for easy layering over other garments.

The jacket is designed with a regular fit. It's generally recommended to choose your standard size. However, if you are between sizes or plan to wear very thick layers underneath, you might consider sizing up. Always check a brand-specific size guide if available for the most accurate fit.

No, the hood on this Lyle & Scott Hooded Jacket is fixed and is not designed to be detachable. It features an adjustable drawcord for a customizable fit.

The jacket features a regular fit designed for comfort and layering. Ensure you selected the correct size based on your usual measurements and consider if you plan to wear thick layers underneath. If discomfort persists, refer to a size guide if available or consider exchanging for a different size.

Over prolonged use and washing, the water-resistant coating (DWR - Durable Water Repellent) can degrade. Ensure you are following the recommended care instructions, avoiding harsh detergents and fabric softeners. You can often restore water resistance by cleaning the jacket and then applying a wash-in or spray-on DWR treatment designed for outerwear.

First, check if any fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. If not, the zipper might need lubrication. Gently rub a graphite pencil or apply a small amount of zipper lubricant along the teeth to help it glide smoothly. Avoid forcing the zipper, as this can cause damage.

This can sometimes happen with synthetic fabrics if too much detergent is used or if it's not rinsed thoroughly. Try re-washing on a rinse-only cycle without detergent, or wash with a technical cleaner designed for outerwear. Ensure it's fully air-dried.
