FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for winter?
This jacket is primarily a lightweight layer. It works best in mild to transitional weather but may require additional insulation underneath during colder winter months.
How do I choose the right size?
This model follows a regular fit. If you prefer a tighter, more athletic cut, consider sizing down; for a relaxed feel ideal for layering, choose your standard size or size up.
Can I put this in the dryer?
It is not recommended. High heat can damage the nylon material and the plastic components of the zip. Air-drying is the best way to maintain the shape and finish.
Does the hood detach?
No, the hood is integrated into the design for optimal weather protection.
Is the material waterproof?
The jacket is water-resistant, meaning it is designed to repel light rain and moisture, but it is not fully waterproof for heavy downpours.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or catches
Ensure no fabric is trapped in the track and consider applying a small amount of paraffin wax or specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.
Garment losing water resistance over time
Over extended periods, you may reapply a spray-on DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment specifically designed for synthetic technical fabrics.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Lyle & Scott jacket, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle, cool cycle to protect the integrity of the nylon fibers.
- Drying: Avoid high-heat tumble drying; air-dry flat or on a hanger to prevent shrinkage or heat damage to the zip hardware.
- Sizing: If you are between sizes, it is recommended to size up if you prefer a relaxed, layered look, or size down if you prefer a trimmer, more fitted aesthetic.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the color depth of the black fabric.
