FAQs
What is the waterproof rating of this jacket?
The Animal Finn Jacket has a waterproof rating of 2,000mm, making it suitable for light rain and limited exposure to wet conditions.
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
This jacket is primarily designed for light rain and everyday wear. For heavy or prolonged downpours, a jacket with a higher waterproof rating would be more appropriate.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C with a non-biological liquid detergent. Do not use fabric softener. Tumble dry on low or hang dry.
What does the DWR finish do?
DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. This treatment helps water bead and roll off the surface of the fabric, preventing it from soaking in and maintaining the jacket's breathability and water resistance.
How often should I re-proof the jacket?
It is recommended to re-proof the jacket periodically, especially after washing, to maintain its water-repellent properties. Follow the instructions on your chosen re-proofing product.
Can I use fabric softener when washing this jacket?
No, it is strongly advised not to use fabric softener, as it can clog the technical pores of the fabric and reduce its breathability and water-repellent capabilities.
What size is this specific jacket?
This guide is for the Animal Finn Jacket in Black, Size UK 6.
Troubleshooting
Water is seeping through the fabric.
Ensure the jacket has not been exposed to prolonged or heavy rain, as this jacket is designed for light rain. Check if the DWR finish needs to be reapplied. Wash with a suitable cleaner and re-proof if necessary.
Jacket feels clammy inside.
This could indicate reduced breathability. Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and residues can block pores. Avoid using fabric softeners during washing. Consider re-activating the DWR treatment according to care instructions.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.
Clean the zipper teeth gently with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Ensure no debris is caught in the zipper track. Lubricate with a silicone-based zipper lubricant if necessary.
