FAQs
What kind of weather is this jacket best suited for?
This jacket is best suited for mild to cool weather and protection against light rain and wind due to its showerproof nature and lightweight padding.
Can I machine wash the jacket?

Is the padding synthetic or down?
The jacket features DuPont™ padding, which is a type of synthetic insulation.
What are the pocket configurations?
It has two practical large front zip pockets and one inner pocket for secure storage.
Can this jacket be easily branded or customized?
Yes, it features an inside zipper specifically designed for easy decoration access.
Is the jacket waterproof?
No, the jacket is water repellent and showerproof, meaning it can handle light rain but is not designed for heavy downpours.

Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the fabric away. You can also try rubbing a graphite pencil lead on the zipper teeth to lubricate them.
Jacket doesn't feel warm enough
This jacket is designed for lightweight insulation. For colder weather, consider layering it over a warmer garment such as a fleece or thermal base layer.
Water is penetrating the fabric during heavier rain
The jacket is showerproof, not fully waterproof. For heavy rain, a dedicated waterproof jacket is recommended. Ensure all zippers are fully closed.
Drawcord hem is difficult to adjust
Check that the drawcord and stopper are not obstructed by dirt or debris. Ensure the drawcord is threaded correctly through the hem casing.
