The jacket is waterproof and breathable, designed to protect against moderate rain. For prolonged exposure to heavy downpours, additional waterproof layers or a dedicated heavy-duty rain jacket might be necessary.
Waterproof means the fabric prevents water from passing through under pressure, typically with taped seams and membranes. Water-resistant means the fabric offers some protection against water but may not withstand prolonged or heavy rain.
If water no longer beads up and roll off the fabric's surface, but instead soaks in, it's time to re-proof the DWR finish.
This jacket is designed for protection against wind and moderate weather. For very cold temperatures, it's best used as an outer shell layered over insulating mid-layers like fleece or down jackets.
For an XL size, the chest is approximately 43-44 inches (109-112 cm). The centre back length for an XL is 73cm.
Yes, you can machine wash the jacket inside out on a cold or lukewarm cycle (30°C recommended) using a technical wash or mild liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach.
This specific model, the Octagon II Softshell Jacket, does not feature a hood. It is a collar-style jacket.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Wash the jacket and then apply a DWR re-proofer spray or wash-in treatment according to the product's instructions. A low-heat tumble dry after washing can also help reactivate the DWR.
This can indicate reduced breathability. Ensure no fabric softener or harsh detergents were used during washing, as they can block pores. Clean the jacket with a technical wash and ensure it is thoroughly rinsed. Check for any debris inside pockets or seams.
Ensure the fabric around the zipper is not caught. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it remains stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based zipper lubricant to the zipper teeth.
Ensure the jacket is clean and free of dirt or contaminants that could affect the membrane. Follow the recommended washing and drying procedures. If the issue persists, the membrane may be compromised over time with extensive use.
Setup:
This is a ready-to-wear garment. There is no assembly or setup required. Ensure the zipper is fully functional before first use.
Compatibility:
This jacket is designed as outerwear. It can be layered over various base layers and mid-layers (e.g., t-shirts, long-sleeved shirts, fleece jackets) depending on the ambient temperature and your activity level. It is suitable for:
