Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

It features a water-repellent finish that handles light mist and drizzle, but it is not a fully waterproof rain jacket.

What does the relaxed fit mean?

It has a looser, more generous cut through the body and shoulders, providing extra room for layering or a casual look.

Can I wear this for winter sports?

While it offers warmth, it is not specifically designed for skiing or snowboarding; it is better suited for casual outdoor activities and lifestyle wear.

What is the primary material used?

The jacket is constructed from high-quality polyester, designed to be durable and wind-resistant.

Does the hood detach?

No, the hood is integrated into the design to ensure maximum wind protection.

Troubleshooting

Water stops beading on the surface

The DWR coating may be worn off. Clean the jacket and apply a fresh DWR spray according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Insulation feels lumpy after washing

Tumble dry the jacket on a low heat setting with clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help fluff the insulation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent wind resistance for transition seasons
  • Synthetic insulation retains warmth in damp conditions
  • Stylish 1970s-inspired retro aesthetic
  • Secure storage options with multiple zippered pockets
  • Adjustable hem and cuffs help seal out cold air

Cons

  • Relaxed fit may feel too loose for high-intensity climbing
  • Not intended for heavy downpours or extreme storms
  • Limited ventilation compared to technical specialized shells

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the water-repellent finish and the integrity of the insulation, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Machine wash in cold water using a gentle cycle with a mild detergent.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. Periodically remove and shake the jacket to redistribute the insulation.
  3. Storage: Hang the jacket in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain its shape and prevent permanent creasing of the fabric.
  4. Refinishing: If water no longer beads off the surface, use a specialized DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray to restore the protective coating.
