FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket is showerproof and wind-resistant, meaning it can handle light rain. For prolonged or heavy rain, a fully waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.

How do I wash my Expert Expolite Jacket?

Machine wash separately on a cold, gentle cycle with liquid detergent. Tumble dry on a low heat setting with dryer balls. Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean.

What does RFID blocking mean?

RFID blocking means the dedicated pocket is designed to prevent unauthorized scanning of your credit cards or passports that contain RFID chips.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?

The jacket provides warmth through its Thermo Pro insulation, making it suitable for cool to mild conditions. For extreme cold, it is best used as a mid-layer under a heavier coat.

How do I activate the packaway feature?

The packaway feature typically involves folding the jacket into one of its own pockets or a designated stuff sack. Refer to any included tags for specific folding instructions.

Is the jacket made from sustainable materials?

Yes, the filling and lining of this jacket are made from recycled polyester, contributing to sustainability.

What is the purpose of the drawcord hem?

The drawcord hem allows you to adjust the fit around the waist to seal out drafts and improve warmth.

Troubleshooting

Jacket loses water repellency.

Wash the jacket separately with a small amount of liquid detergent and tumble dry on low heat. Consider reapplying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment.

Reduced insulation effectiveness.

Ensure the filling is evenly distributed. Tumble dry on low heat with dryer balls to help fluff the insulation.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Lubricate with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant if needed.

Pilling or fabric damage.

Avoid washing with abrasive materials. Check care label for specific fabric instructions and avoid harsh detergents or excessive heat during drying.
