FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
No, the jacket features a durable water repellent (DWR) finish, which means it can withstand light rain or spray but is not designed for prolonged exposure to heavy downpours.
How warm is the lightweight fill?
The lightweight fill provides moderate warmth, suitable for cooler conditions or as a layer over other garments. It is not intended as heavy-duty insulation for extreme cold.
Can I wash this jacket in a washing machine?
Yes, you can machine wash the jacket at 30°C with a mild detergent. Ensure you rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on a low heat setting.
What should I do if the water repellency decreases?
The water repellency can diminish over time. You can restore it by applying a DWR treatment specifically designed for outdoor apparel.
Are the pockets secure?
Yes, the jacket features two lower pockets that are secured with zippers, providing safe storage for your essentials.
What material is the jacket made from?
The jacket is made with 100% Polyamide for the main body.
Troubleshooting
Jacket not repelling water effectively
The durable water repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Consider re-applying a DWR treatment suitable for polyamide fabrics.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Ensure the fabric around the zipper is clear. If still stiff, apply a small amount of graphite from a pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.
Jacket feels too cool for the weather
Layering is key. Add a warmer mid-layer, such as a fleece or insulated vest, underneath the jacket for increased warmth.
