FAQs

Is this jacket truly waterproof?

No, this jacket is water-repellent, meaning it can withstand light rain and splashes but is not designed to be fully waterproof under prolonged heavy downpours.

What kind of activities is this jacket best suited for?

It is best suited for outdoor activities in mild to cool weather, such as walking, light hiking, commuting, and casual wear, where protection from wind and light rain is needed.

Can I wear this jacket in cold winter weather?

While the jacket offers some insulation, it is not designed for extreme cold. For winter conditions, it is best used as an outer layer over warmer garments like fleece or thermal base layers.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash at 30°C or 40°C with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and high heat for drying or ironing. Refer to the 'Care Instructions' section for full details.

What does 'Recycled' fabric mean in this context?

It means the polyester material used to construct the jacket was made from post-consumer plastic waste, contributing to a more sustainable production process.

How many pockets does the jacket have, and are they secure?

The jacket has a total of three pockets: two zipped hand pockets and one zipped chest pocket, providing secure storage for your essentials.

What is the difference between water-repellent and waterproof?

Water-repellent fabric resists water penetration to a degree, causing water to bead up and roll off. Waterproof fabric is designed to prevent water from passing through entirely, usually with a coating or membrane and sealed seams.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels damp inside

Ensure the jacket is not overloaded with layers for the conditions. Check if the 'Quick Dry' fabric is functioning correctly; allow it time to air out. For persistent issues, consider if the water repellency treatment needs reapplication.

Zipper is stiff or catching

Check the fabric around the zipper for any snagging. Gently try to pull the fabric away. If stiffness persists, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based zipper lubricant to the zipper teeth.

Water is soaking through

The water-repellent finish may have worn off. Reapply a suitable water-repellent treatment for softshell fabrics. Ensure all seams and closures are properly zipped.

Jacket has an odor

Machine wash according to care instructions. Ensure the jacket is thoroughly dried. For stubborn odors, a pre-soak with a mild detergent or a sports wash additive can be helpful.
