FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold weather?
The jacket provides warmth with its fleece-lined collar and pockets, and is windproof. However, it is primarily a protective outer shell and may require additional insulating layers for extreme cold conditions.
Can I wear this jacket for activities other than sailing?
Yes, the jacket is designed for versatility and is suitable for a wide range of outdoor activities like hiking, commuting, or casual wear, offering protection from wind and rain.
How do I ensure the waterproofness lasts?
Regularly clean the jacket according to the care instructions and consider reapplying a DWR treatment periodically, especially if you notice water is no longer beading on the surface.
What is the difference between this jacket and a 'midlayer' jacket?
This is an outer shell jacket designed to protect from wind and rain. A midlayer jacket is typically an insulating layer worn underneath for warmth. The Crew Sailing Jacket 2.0 can be worn as a standalone shell or over a midlayer.
Does the jacket have a hood?
This specific model, the Crew Sailing Jacket 2.0, does not explicitly mention a hood in its description. Please refer to product images or specific product listings for hood details.
What sizes are available?

Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer water-repellent
Ensure the jacket is clean. If DWR is worn off, reapply a DWR treatment specifically designed for waterproof-breathable fabrics. Follow product instructions carefully.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to close
Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a small amount of mild soap and water. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Lubricate with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant if necessary.
Reduced breathability
The jacket may need cleaning to remove body oils and dirt that can clog the membrane pores. Wash according to care instructions with a technical fabric cleaner.
Fleece collar feels rough after washing
Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can affect the fleece texture. Gently brush the fleece with a soft-bristled brush after drying to restore softness.
