FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
No, the jacket features a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish and is best suited for light showers and protection against water spray. For heavy rain, a fully waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.
How do I maintain the water-repellent feature?
To maintain the water repellency, avoid using fabric softener during washing. Periodically re-apply a DWR treatment, which can be purchased separately, following the product's instructions.
Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?
Yes, the jacket is insulating and can be worn on its own in cool weather. For colder temperatures, its lightweight and relaxed fit make it an excellent layering piece over a fleece or thermal base layer.
What material is the jacket made from?
The jacket is made from 96% Polyester and 4% Elastane.
How should I clean the jacket?
You can machine wash the jacket at 30°C on a gentle cycle using liquid detergent. Rinse thoroughly and do not use fabric softener. Tumble dry on low or hang dry.
Does the jacket have many pockets?
The jacket features two lower pockets for convenient storage of essentials or for keeping your hands warm.
What does 'Wind Resistant' mean for this jacket?
Wind resistant means the fabric is designed to significantly reduce the amount of wind that can pass through it, helping to protect you from wind chill and stay more comfortable outdoors.
Troubleshooting
Water is soaking through the fabric.
The DWR finish may have worn off. Re-apply a suitable DWR treatment according to the product's instructions. Ensure the garment is clean before re-applying.
Jacket feels less breathable.
Fabric softener can clog the pores of the fabric. Wash the jacket again without softener, using a thorough rinse cycle. Ensure the garment is clean of dirt and grime.
Zipper is sticking.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to pull the fabric free. If sticking persists, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.
Jacket feels too loose.
Utilize the toggle hem to cinch the bottom of the jacket for a more fitted feel. If the fit is still too large, consider if a smaller size would be more appropriate for your needs.
