How should I clean the jacket?

Does the jacket restrict movement during a golf swing?
No, it is designed with engineered knit panelling in key areas to allow for maximum freedom of movement during the golf swing.
Is this jacket suitable for both men and women?
This specific model is designed for men ('Male' gender attribute). FootJoy offers various styles, so check for women's specific designs if needed.
What does the 'StaDry' collar refer to?
The StaDry collar is specifically shaped to optimize wind and rain protection around the neck area, keeping you drier and more comfortable.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer repelling water effectively
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment may have worn off. Wash the jacket according to care instructions and then apply a new DWR treatment. Ensure zippers are closed and tumble dry on low heat to activate the treatment.
Feeling damp inside the jacket despite it not raining heavily
This can occur due to perspiration. Ensure the jacket is zipped up correctly and consider wearing moisture-wicking base layers. The breathability rating may be exceeded during very high exertion.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Gently clean the zipper track with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Ensure no debris is caught in the teeth. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or graphite from a pencil to the zipper teeth.
Seams feel less waterproof
Inspect the taped seams for any damage. If damage is apparent, contact FootJoy customer support regarding the warranty. Ensure the garment has been cared for properly, as harsh chemicals can degrade seam tape.
