FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof or water-repellent?
The jacket has a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, meaning it can repel light rain and moisture but is not fully waterproof. It is designed for protection against light showers and drizzle.
What is the jacket made of?
The jacket is made from 100% Polyamide, featuring a lightweight 37gsm, 20D construction.
Can this jacket be worn in very cold weather?
The jacket is lightweight and quilted for moderate warmth. For very cold weather, it is best used as an outer layer over warmer, insulating mid-layers.
How should I clean the jacket?
Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Tumble dry on low heat. Do not bleach or iron.
Does the hood offer adjustable tightening?
The hood features elasticated detailing and stretch binding for a snug and secure fit, but it does not have external drawcords for adjustment.
Are there any internal pockets?
This jacket features two external zipped side pockets for secure storage. There are no internal pockets.
What does 'grown on hood' mean?
'Grown on hood' means the hood is permanently attached to the main body of the jacket, rather than being detachable or added separately.
Troubleshooting
Jacket not repelling water effectively.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Re-apply a suitable DWR treatment as per product instructions.
Zipper is difficult to move.
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to pull the fabric away and move the zipper slowly. Lubricate the zipper with graphite from a pencil if needed.

This is a lightweight jacket. For colder or windier conditions, consider layering a warmer fleece or insulated mid-layer underneath.
