FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the softshell nylon material?

The 100% softshell nylon construction offers a balance of durability, comfort, and weather resistance, providing a good shield against wind and light to moderate rain while remaining breathable.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the 'Mens sizing (chest approx)' and 'Centre back lengths' sections in the product description. Measure your chest circumference and compare it to the provided inch/cm measurements for the best fit.

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket is waterproof and breathable, designed for protection in various weather conditions. For prolonged exposure to very heavy rain, consider layering with a more robust waterproof outer shell if maximum protection is required.

Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?

Yes, the wind-resistant membrane and nylon construction offer good protection against the cold. For very cold conditions, it can be layered effectively over insulating mid-layers.

How many pockets does the jacket have, and are they secure?

The jacket features three zipped pockets: two lower pockets for hand warming or storage, and one chest pocket for secure storage of items like a phone or wallet.

What does 'breathable' mean in relation to this jacket?

Breathable fabric allows moisture vapor (sweat) to escape from the inside of the jacket to the outside, helping to regulate body temperature and prevent a clammy feeling during physical activity.

Are there other color options available?

Yes, this jacket model is available in various colors including Navy/Seal Grey and Black, in addition to Red. Please check the product listings for available colorways and sizes.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels damp inside, despite being waterproof.

This is likely due to perspiration. Ensure the jacket is zipped up correctly and the hem shockcord is tightened to prevent drafts. The breathable membrane is working to release moisture vapor, but in very high exertion or humidity, some internal dampness can occur.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to use.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a small amount of mild soap and water. Ensure no debris is caught in the track. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Water appears to be soaking through the fabric.

Check if the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish has worn off. You may need to re-apply a DWR treatment suitable for technical outerwear. Ensure all seams and zippers are fully closed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent protection against rain and wind.
  • Breathable fabric prevents overheating during activity.
  • Durable nylon construction ensures longevity.
  • Multiple secure storage options with zipped pockets.
  • Adjustable hem for a personalized fit.

Cons

  • Specific men's sizing may require careful measurement consultation.
  • Polyester variants might offer slightly different breathability/feel compared to nylon.
  • May be too warm for very mild weather due to its protective build.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This jacket requires no assembly. It is ready to wear straight out of the packaging.

Compatibility: Designed for adult males, available in a wide range of sizes from XS to XXXXXL. Refer to the specific chest measurements provided in the product description for the most accurate fit.

Care Instructions: To maintain the jacket's performance:

  1. Machine wash at 30°C (86°F).
  2. Use a mild detergent.
  3. Do not bleach.
  4. Do not tumble dry.
  5. Iron on a cool setting.
  6. Can be dry-cleaned (chemically neutral).

Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can impede the fabric's waterproof and breathable qualities.
