FAQs

Can the inner fleece be worn separately?

Yes, the inner fleece jacket can be zipped out and worn as a standalone fleece garment.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash warm (40°C / 104°F) with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or line dry. Do not dry clean.

Is the jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The jacket provides good protection for moderate to cool conditions. For extreme cold, layering additional warm clothing underneath the fleece and outer shell is recommended.

What does '3-in-1' mean?

It means the jacket consists of an outer waterproof shell and a removable inner insulating layer (fleece), which can be worn together, or each layer can be worn separately, offering three combinations for different weather conditions.

How do I maintain the waterproof finish?

To maintain the waterproof properties, wash according to care instructions and consider reapplying a DWR treatment periodically, especially if water no longer beads on the surface.

Can this jacket be branded for a company?

Yes, the jacket is designed with print access and is ideal for corporate branding.

What type of zipper is used?

Water-resistant zippers are used on the main front opening and pockets for a sophisticated look and enhanced protection against water penetration.

Troubleshooting

Outer jacket is leaking water.

Ensure all zippers are fully closed. Check if the taped seams are intact. Reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment if the fabric's water-repellency has diminished.

Zipper is difficult to operate.

Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper to improve smoothness. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.

Inner fleece is not easily removable/attachable.

Align the fleece zipper with the outer jacket zipper carefully. Ensure both zippers are fully unzipped before attempting to separate or reattach the fleece.

Jacket feels clammy inside.

This can indicate high humidity or insufficient ventilation. Ensure the underarm vents (if present) are open and the jacket is not too tightly layered underneath. Consider unzipping the main jacket or removing the fleece if conditions allow.
