FAQs
What does the waterproof and breathable rating mean?
A waterproof rating of 3000mm means the fabric can withstand 3000mm of water pressure before leaking. A breathable rating of 3000gsm means 3000 grams of water vapor can pass through one square meter of fabric in 24 hours, indicating moderate breathability.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
The jacket is designed for wind and rain protection. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer a warm insulating piece, such as a fleece or down jacket, underneath.
How often should I re-proof the jacket?
The frequency depends on usage and care. If you notice water is no longer beading on the surface and is starting to soak into the fabric, it's a good time to re-apply a DWR treatment.
What is the 'peach finished' outer fabric?
This refers to a finishing process that gives the polyester microfibre outer fabric a soft, velvety feel, similar to the skin of a peach.
Does the hood pack away?
The description states it is a 'concealed, lined adjustable hood', suggesting it can be tucked away or folded, but not necessarily removed.
What are the different colour and size options available?
This specific product is the 'Marine Blue' in size UK 8. Other variants are available in different colours like Green, Soft Teal, Red, and Pink, and various UK sizes.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels damp inside, but it's not raining.
This might be due to insufficient breathability. Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the pores. Consider washing with a specialized technical wash and re-applying a DWR treatment if the fabric is absorbing water.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth to remove any debris. You can then apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or a zipper lubricant) to the teeth to help it glide smoothly.
Hood adjustment is not effective.
Ensure the drawcords are properly threaded and that the toggles are functioning. Check for any obstructions in the hood channel. Consult the care label for any specific hood adjustment instructions.
