FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
No, the Iona Softshell Jacket is water-resistant, meaning it can handle light rain and splashes. For heavy downpours, a fully waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.
What is the best way to clean the jacket?
You can machine wash the jacket at 30 or 40 degrees Celsius with a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach and tumble dry on a low heat setting or line dry.
How often should I re-waterproof the jacket?
The need for re-waterproofing depends on usage and washing frequency. It is recommended to reapply treatment when you notice water is no longer beading on the surface, typically after several washes.
Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?
The jacket is lightweight and breathable. For colder temperatures, it is best worn as a layering piece over a fleece or insulated jacket.
What are the main benefits of a softshell jacket?
Softshell jackets typically offer a good balance of breathability, wind resistance, and water resistance, with a comfortable, flexible feel.
Are there different color options available?
Yes, the Iona Softshell Jacket is available in a range of colors. Please check the product listings for available options.
Troubleshooting
Water resistance seems reduced.
Reapply a suitable waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment according to the product's instructions.
Jacket feels tight or restrictive.
Ensure the adjustable cuffs and hem are loosened. Check that the correct size was purchased; consider layering with lighter items underneath.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a brush and apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Fabric has lost some of its breathability.
Ensure the jacket is clean and free from dirt or residue, which can impede breathability. Follow the recommended washing instructions.
