FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
This jacket is water-resistant, meaning it can handle light showers and drizzle. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, a fully waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.
What is the difference between this and a waterproof jacket?
A water-resistant jacket provides protection against light moisture, while a waterproof jacket is designed to prevent water penetration even in heavy rain. Softshells often offer better breathability and stretch than waterproof shells.
How warm is the microfleece lining?
The microfleece lining provides a good level of insulation for mild to cool conditions. It's designed to trap body heat effectively. For very cold weather, layering is recommended.
Can I wear this jacket in the summer?
It can be worn on cooler summer evenings or during windy conditions. It might be too warm for hot, humid weather.
How do I adjust the hood?
The hood typically features drawcords around the opening, allowing you to cinch it tighter for a more secure fit.
What material is the jacket made of?
The jacket is made from 96% Polyester and 4% Elastane.
Troubleshooting
Water not beading on the surface
The water-repellent finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket and re-apply a suitable water-repellent treatment.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Apply a small amount of wax or graphite from a pencil to the zipper teeth.
Jacket feels less windproof than before
Check for any holes or tears in the fabric. Ensure the main zipper and any pockets are fully closed.
