Product Information

Full details

This Jack Wolfskin jacket is designed for adult males seeking reliable protection during outdoor activities and everyday wear. Its key benefit is the breathable Texapore membrane, offering excellent waterproofing (10,000 mm water column) and comfort in varied weather conditions. A potential consideration is its plain design, which, while versatile, may not appeal to those seeking a highly stylized garment. Key features include a full-length zip, a hooded style, and durable polyester construction.

FAQs

What is the water column rating of the Texapore membrane?

The Texapore membrane in this jacket has a water column rating of 10,000 mm, indicating a high level of waterproof performance.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

This jacket is designed primarily for waterproofing and breathability. For very cold weather, layering with insulating clothing underneath is recommended.

Can I wear this jacket in high winds?

Yes, the jacket offers good protection against wind due to its waterproof and windproof membrane and construction.

How do I know if I have the correct size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart for Jack Wolfskin apparel. Ensure the jacket allows for comfortable movement and layering underneath without being too restrictive.

What material is the jacket made of?

The outer shell and lining of this jacket are both made from 100% Polyester.

Is the hood adjustable?

The product description does not specify if the hood is adjustable. However, hooded jackets typically offer some degree of fit around the face.

Can I use bleach on this jacket?

No, bleach should not be used on this jacket as it can damage the waterproof membrane and fabric.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer waterproof.

Ensure the jacket is clean. Wash according to care instructions using a mild detergent. Consider a re-waterproofing treatment designed for technical outerwear if the issue persists. Check the integrity of the Texapore membrane for any tears or damage.

Jacket feels damp inside, despite not being exposed to rain.

This could indicate reduced breathability. Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the membrane's pores. Machine wash as per instructions. Avoid using fabric softeners. If the issue persists, the membrane might be compromised.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Clean any debris around the zipper teeth. Apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.

Jacket is showing signs of wear and tear.

For minor abrasions, consider fabric patches suitable for outdoor gear. For significant damage to the Texapore membrane, repair may not be feasible, and replacement might be necessary. Inspect seams for fraying and reinforce if possible.
