Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is the jacket fully waterproof or water-resistant?
The jacket is water-repellent and windproof, designed to handle rain and spray, but it is not a fully seam-sealed 'waterproof' jacket for submersion.
Does the jacket come with a hood?
This specific model features a sleek design focused on the collar and ribbed trims; please check the garment details to confirm if your specific variant includes hood attachments.
Can I machine wash this jacket?
Yes, you can machine wash it on a gentle cycle with cool water, but avoid bleach and fabric softeners.
What is the best way to store the jacket?
Hang the jacket on a sturdy hanger in a cool, dry place to maintain the shape of the shoulders and ensure the zippers remain straight.
Is the jacket insulated?
No, it uses a mesh lining for breathability rather than heavy insulation, making it a great layering piece for active use.
Troubleshooting
Water appears to be soaking into the fabric rather than beading up
The water-repellent coating may be wearing off. Consider applying a technical garment spray specifically designed for waterproof-breathable fabrics.
Zipper feels stiff or difficult to close
Because of the protective waterproof seal, the zippers may be stiffer than standard ones. Ensure the tracks are clean of debris and use a dedicated zipper lubricant if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Storm Sailor Jacket, it is important to follow proper care protocols. As the jacket utilizes a water-repellent finish, avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners that can strip the technical coating from the polyester fabric. When cleaning, opt for a gentle machine cycle in cool water and allow the garment to air dry away from direct heat sources. Because of its regular fit, the jacket is designed to be worn over light mid-layers, such as a base layer or a thin fleece, without restricting range of motion. Always ensure zippers are fully closed before washing to preserve the integrity of the waterproof seals.
