FAQs
Is this jacket warm enough for winter?
The Lossie jacket is primarily a waterproof shell. It is not insulated, so it is best paired with a fleece or down mid-layer for winter conditions.
Can I machine wash the jacket?
Yes, wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can strip the waterproof finish.
What does 'grown-on hood' mean?
This means the hood is permanently attached to the collar of the jacket, providing a more seamless barrier against wind and rain.
Does this jacket offer any breathability?
Yes, the polyester construction is designed to allow some moisture vapor to escape, though it is best suited for low to moderate intensity activities.
Is the hood adjustable?
Yes, the hood is designed to be adjustable for a snug fit to keep out wind and rain effectively.
Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak through the fabric rather than beading off
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating may be wearing off; re-apply a technical fabric DWR treatment spray.
Zipper feels stiff or difficult to close
Clean the zipper tracks of any grit or debris using a soft brush, then ensure the fabric is not caught in the teeth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the longevity of your jacket, ensure you regularly clean it according to the care label instructions to keep the waterproof membrane breathable. When storing, shake off excess moisture and hang the jacket to air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can damage the waterproof coating. The XL fit is designed to accommodate mid-weight base layers, so consider your layering needs when selecting your size.
