FAQs

What type of conditions is this jacket best suited for?

This jacket is best suited for wet and windy conditions, offering waterproof, breathable, and wind-resistant protection. It is ideal for outdoor activities like hiking, walking, and general outdoor work.

How do I find the correct size?

Please refer to the sizing chart provided in the product description, which lists chest measurements in inches and centimeters for each size from XS to XXXXXL. Center back lengths are also provided.

Can this jacket be worn in very cold weather?

The jacket provides wind and water resistance, but it is not heavily insulated. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer it over thermal base layers and a fleece or insulated mid-layer.

What is the difference between waterproof and water-resistant?

Waterproof means the material is designed to prevent water from penetrating. Water-resistant means it offers a degree of protection against water but may eventually soak through under prolonged or heavy exposure. This jacket is waterproof.

How often should I reapply a DWR finish?

The frequency depends on usage and care. Generally, if water no longer beads up on the surface and starts to soak in, it's time to consider reapplying a DWR finish.

Are the pockets large enough for a smartphone?

Yes, the two lower zipped pockets are typically large enough to hold most standard-sized smartphones, along with other essentials like gloves or a small wallet.

What is the centre back length?

The centre back lengths vary by size. For example, size XS and S are 68cm, while size XXXXXL is 78cm. Please refer to the detailed sizing information in the product description for exact measurements.

Troubleshooting

Water is seeping through the fabric.

The jacket's water-repellent treatment may need refreshing. Follow the care instructions for reapplying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish.

Zipper is stiff or sticking.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to dislodge it. If it persists, apply a small amount of graphite from a pencil or a silicone-based lubricant to the teeth.

Jacket feels clammy inside.

While breathable, intense activity can still lead to perspiration. Ensure the internal layers are also breathable. Open the main zipper slightly or the pockets to increase ventilation if needed.

Hem cord is not tightening effectively.

Ensure the cord lock is functioning correctly. Check for any debris obstructing the cord. If damaged, consider professional repair or replacement.

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof and breathable performance.
  • Effective wind resistance for comfort in adverse weather.
  • Durable and flexible softshell nylon material.
  • Practical storage with multiple zippered pockets.
  • Adjustable hem for a personalized and secure fit.

Cons

  • The shaped fit may not be ideal for individuals preferring a looser cut.
  • Material may be less insulating than a heavily padded jacket.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: This is a ready-to-wear garment. Ensure the zipper is fully engaged and pull the slider up smoothly. Adjust the shockcord hem by pulling the toggles to tighten or pressing the toggle base to release.

Compatibility: This jacket is designed for adult males and is suitable for a wide range of outdoor activities and casual wear. It can be layered over thermal base layers or lighter fleeces for added warmth.

Care Instructions: To maintain the jacket's performance and longevity:

  1. Machine wash at 30°C (86°F) with a similar color.
  2. Do not bleach.
  3. Tumble dry on a low setting or hang dry.
  4. Do not iron.
  5. Do not dry clean.
  6. For best results in maintaining water repellency, consider using a specialized wash-in or spray-on reproofer after several washes, following the product's instructions.
