How do I wash the jacket?
Machine wash cold with like colors using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry.
What kind of weather can this jacket handle?
It is designed for mild to moderate weather. It can handle light breezes and very light, brief showers due to its water-resistant properties.

Does this jacket have a hood?
Based on the provided description, there is no mention of a hood. It is a standard jacket design.
Can I wear this jacket for intense physical activity?

Troubleshooting
Jacket feels stiff after washing
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and washing on a cold cycle. Avoid using fabric softener, as it can sometimes affect the softshell material. Tumble drying on low heat can help restore softness.
Zipper is difficult to move
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to pull the fabric free. If it persists, a small amount of graphite from a pencil can be applied to the zipper teeth to help it glide more smoothly.
Water is not beading off as effectively
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off over time. Consider applying a water-repellent spray specifically designed for softshell or outdoor clothing to restore its water-resistance. Ensure the jacket is clean before applying any treatment.
