FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof or water-repellent?
This jacket is water-repellent, meaning it can withstand light rain or mist. It is not fully waterproof and should not be relied upon for heavy downpours.
What type of insulation does this jacket use?
The jacket uses PrimaLoft insulation, known for its warmth, light weight, and compressibility.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold winter weather?
This jacket is designed for cool to mild weather and provides good wind protection. For very cold winter conditions, it is best used as a mid-layer over warmer base layers, or a heavier outer layer may be needed.
How should I wash the jacket?
Machine wash cold with like colors. Do not bleach. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Refer to the specific care label inside the garment for detailed instructions.
Does the color blocking apply to all available colors?
No, color blocking is a feature present only on selected colorways of the jacket.
Are the side pockets zippered?
Yes, the side pockets feature zippers to securely store your belongings.
What material is the jacket made of?
The jacket is primarily made of polyester, with a smooth taffeta lining.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels less warm than expected.
Ensure all zippers are fully closed and that the jacket is not excessively layered with bulky items underneath, which can compress the insulation. Check care label for any washing instructions that may have been missed, as improper washing can affect insulation performance.
Water is soaking through the fabric.
The water-repellent finish may have worn off over time. Consider re-applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment specifically designed for outdoor apparel. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain, as this jacket is designed for water-repellency, not full waterproofing.
Zipper is difficult to operate.
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If resistance persists, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.
Jacket appears discolored after washing.
Review the care label to ensure proper washing methods were followed. Washing with incorrect detergents or at high temperatures can cause color fading. Always wash with like colors in cold water.
