FAQs
What does FNDry10K mean?
FNDry10K refers to the fabric's waterproof and breathable rating. It indicates the material can withstand 10,000mm of water pressure and allows 10,000g of moisture vapor to pass through per square meter in 24 hours, signifying good water repellency and breathability.
Is this hoodie warm enough for winter?
The hoodie provides a good windproof and water-repellent layer, but it has minimal insulation. For cold winter conditions, it is best used as an outer shell or mid-layer over warmer base layers.
How do I clean the hoodie?
Machine wash cold with like colors, use a mild detergent, and avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Do not bleach or iron.
Can this hoodie be worn for intense physical activity?
Yes, the breathability of the FNDry10K laminate makes it suitable for moderate physical activities like hiking or running in wet conditions. For very strenuous activities, ensure appropriate base layers are worn.
What is the material of the hoodie?
The hoodie is constructed from recycled polyester, featuring an FNDry10K laminate for water repellency.
Does this hoodie have a zipper?
No, this is a pullover hoodie design, meaning it does not have a front zipper.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems reduced.
Wash the hoodie using a mild detergent without fabric softener. Consider reapplying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment if performance does not improve after washing.
Garment feels stiff after washing.
Tumble dry on low heat. Avoid over-drying. If stiffness persists, a short tumble dry with a couple of tennis balls can help soften the fabric.
Sizing feels incorrect.
Refer to the Oakley size chart for accurate measurements. If the fit is still not right, consider exchanging for a different size.
