FAQs

Is this jacket fully waterproof?

The jacket features a water-repellent finish (H2OShield), which is effective against rain and water-based stains. It is not a fully waterproof garment designed for prolonged heavy downpours.

What material is the jacket made of?

The jacket is a softshell, typically made from polyester blends designed for durability and protection.

How do I wash the jacket?

Machine wash at 30°C with similar colours, do not bleach, and tumble dry on a low heat. Close all zippers before washing.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?

The jacket provides insulation suitable for cooler temperatures. For extreme cold, layering with additional warm clothing underneath is recommended.

Does the jacket have a hood?

This specific model description does not mention a hood. Please refer to product images or detailed specifications for confirmation.

What is the benefit of the 'wind resistant' feature?

The wind-resistant construction helps to block out chilling winds, keeping you more comfortable when exposed to breezy conditions.

How do I reapply the water repellent finish?

After washing and drying according to care instructions, you can reapply the finish using a DWR spray or wash-in treatment. Follow the product's specific instructions.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency seems reduced.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need reapplication. Follow care instructions for washing and consider using a DWR spray or wash-in treatment after cleaning.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.

Ensure the zipper is clean and free of debris. Gently lubricate the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.

This jacket is designed for moderate temperatures. For colder conditions, consider layering with a fleece or insulated mid-layer underneath.
