FAQs
What is the primary material of the jacket?
The jacket is primarily made from 100% recycled polyester for the body, lining, and padding.
How do I re-apply the water-repellent finish?
The water-repellent finish can be reactivated by tumble drying the jacket on a low heat setting. For a more robust treatment, consider using a spray-on or wash-in water repellent product designed for outdoor clothing after washing.
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The jacket has a durable water-repellent finish, making it suitable for light rain or drizzle. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, a fully waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.
Can I wear a thick jumper under this jacket?
The Everest Bomber Jacket has a slim fit designed for a tailored look. While you can wear a light to medium-weight sweater, very thick jumpers might make the fit feel too tight and restrictive.
How should I clean the jacket to maintain its features?
Machine wash inside out on a gentle cycle at 30°C with a mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid bleach and dry cleaning.
Does the hood offer full protection from wind?
The hood is adjustable with a bungee drawcord, providing good protection against wind and light weather. It also features a second ribbed collar for added warmth and wind resistance.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems reduced
Tumble dry the jacket on a low heat setting. Heat helps to reactivate the durable water-repellent finish. If performance is still low after drying, consider using a specialized re-proofing spray suitable for synthetic outerwear.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Check the zipper teeth for any fabric snags or debris. Gently clean the teeth with a soft brush. You can also apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper track to improve glide.
Jacket feels tight or restrictive
Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers. This jacket features a slim fit, so consider sizing up if you prefer more room for layering or a less snug feel. Avoid wearing very thick or bulky sweaters underneath.
Embroidered details or badge are snagged
Carefully trim any loose threads with sharp scissors. Avoid pulling at the snagged area. If the embroidery is significantly damaged, professional repair may be needed.
