FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
The jacket features a durable woven shell that offers good protection against wind and light moisture. However, it is not explicitly designed as a fully waterproof garment for heavy rain.
How should I wash this jacket?
The Kanaga Jacket is machine washable. We recommend washing it in cold water on a gentle cycle with similar colors and using a mild detergent.
Can I tumble dry this jacket?
Yes, you can tumble dry the jacket on a low setting. For best results and to help maintain the padding's loft, air drying is also an excellent option.
Does this jacket have an interior pocket?
The product description specifies 'zip pockets,' which typically refers to exterior pockets. Information regarding interior pockets is not provided.
Is this jacket suitable for winter sports?
This jacket provides warmth and protection for general cool to cold weather. For rigorous winter sports, you may need specialized gear with enhanced waterproofing, breathability, and specific features for active use.
What material is the padding made of?
The jacket is stated to be 100% Polyester, which includes both the outer shell and the likely synthetic padded fill.
Is the hood removable?
The description states the jacket 'has... a hood,' which typically implies an integrated, non-removable hood for continuous protection.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels stiff or less soft after washing.
Ensure fabric softener is not used during washing, as it can sometimes reduce the loft of synthetic insulation. Tumble dry on low with dryer balls to help restore loft and softness.
Zippers snag or get stuck.
Gently pull fabric away from the zipper teeth. If the issue persists, rub a small amount of graphite from a pencil or a dedicated zipper lubricant along the zipper teeth to help it move smoothly.
Jacket doesn't provide enough warmth in extreme cold.
The Kanaga Jacket is designed for cool to cold weather. For extreme cold, it's recommended to layer it with additional thermal base layers or wear a more specialized, heavier outer shell for optimal warmth.
Static cling on the jacket.
Use an anti-static spray on the jacket, or add a dryer sheet during the final stages of tumble drying to reduce static electricity.

Product Care
Proper care will help maintain your jacket's performance and appearance:
- Washing: The jacket is machine washable. Use cold water and select a gentle cycle.
- Detergent: Use a mild laundry detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach, which can damage the fabric and padding.
- Drying: You can tumble dry on a low heat setting. For best results and to preserve the padded fill's loft, consider air drying flat or on a hanger. Adding dryer balls during a low-heat tumble dry can help fluff up the padding.
- Ironing: Do not iron the jacket, as high heat can damage the polyester material and synthetic fill.
- Storage: Store the jacket clean and dry in a cool, well-ventilated area.
