FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the Thermo Pro technology?

Thermo Pro technology provides excellent thermal insulation, keeping you warm without adding significant weight or bulk to the jacket.

How should I clean the jacket?

Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with zippers closed. Avoid bleach, ironing, and dry cleaning. Tumble dry on a low heat setting.

What does the EcoShield DWR Finish do?

The EcoShield DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish helps water bead off the fabric surface, providing protection against light rain and moisture.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold, icy conditions?

While very warm for its weight, it's designed as a versatile outer layer. For extreme cold, layering with additional insulating garments might be necessary.

What is the purpose of the RFID Blocking Pocket?

The RFID Blocking Pocket is designed to protect your contactless credit cards and passport from unauthorized scanning, preventing electronic theft.

Can this jacket be compressed for travel?

Yes, the jacket is designed to be compressible and packable, making it easy to carry in a backpack or luggage.

What material is the jacket made from?

The jacket is made from 100% Polyester and is made from recycled materials.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is not waterproof after washing.

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment suitable for outdoor clothing after washing and drying.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Ensure the fabric around the zipper is clear. Apply a graphite pencil lead or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.

Jacket feels less warm than expected.

Check that all zippers and openings are closed. Ensure the jacket is not overly compressed for extended periods, as this can affect insulation. For extreme cold, consider an additional mid-layer.
