FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

It is water-resistant, not waterproof. It is designed to shed light rain and moisture, but it is not intended for heavy, prolonged rain exposure.

What is the sizing like for this model?

This model is an XL. It is designed for an adult female fit, balancing room for layering with a tailored appearance.

Can I put this in the dryer?

It is recommended to air dry this jacket to preserve the quality of the fabric and the water-resistant finish.

How many pockets does it have?

The jacket features six pockets in total, including a specific internal pocket designed for a mobile phone.

Is the material noisy when moving?

No, the softshell fabric is designed to be relatively quiet and flexible, unlike some traditional stiff waterproof shells.

Troubleshooting

Water begins soaking into the fabric rather than beading.

The Texpel Splash Eco coating may be wearing off. Clean the jacket and re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray specifically designed for softshell materials.

Cuffs feel loose or allow cold air to enter.

Ensure the hook and loop closure is securely fastened and free of lint or debris that might prevent a firm grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your garment, follow these care instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Machine wash at a cool temperature with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can degrade the water-resistant finish.
  2. Drying: Air dry whenever possible to maintain the integrity of the fabric structure. Avoid high-heat tumble drying.
  3. Fit Adjustment: Utilize the drawcord at the hem and the hook and loop tabs at the cuffs to customize the fit, ensuring the jacket seals properly against your body to trap heat.
  4. Storage: Hang the jacket on a sturdy hanger in a cool, dry place to maintain the shape of the shoulders and collar.
