FAQs
What type of weather is this jacket best suited for?
This jacket is ideal for mixed weather conditions, offering protection against light rain and wind. It is water-repellent and breathable, making it suitable for everyday wear and outdoor activities in mild to moderate climates.
Can I remove the hood permanently?
The hood is detachable, meaning you can remove it for use in clearer weather or when not needed. It can be reattached as required.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 40°C with a mild detergent. Do not use fabric softener or bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry.
What does 'Softshell XPT' fabric mean?
Softshell XPT is a specialized fabric designed to be water-repellent, wind-resistant, and breathable, offering comfort and protection in various outdoor conditions.
How do I care for the water-repellent finish?
To maintain the water-repellent finish, avoid using fabric softeners during washing. You can reapply a DWR treatment after cleaning if the finish seems to have diminished.
What is the breathability rating?
The jacket has a breathability rating of 15,000 g/m/24 hours, indicating good performance in allowing moisture vapor to pass through the fabric.
Is this jacket warm enough for winter?
While it offers some warmth due to its construction, this softshell jacket is primarily designed for protection against wind and light rain in milder or transitional weather. For very cold winter conditions, you would likely need a heavier, insulated jacket.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency is reduced.
The DWR finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket and apply a DWR re-proofing spray or wash-in treatment according to the product instructions.
Jacket feels clammy during activity.
Ensure the breathability features are not hindered. Check that inner layers are also breathable. If the issue persists, consider the activity level and weather conditions; this jacket is best for moderate conditions.
Hood is difficult to adjust.
Ensure the drawcords are not tangled. Gently pull the drawcords to tighten and press the toggle to release. Refer to the jacket's specific design for cord placement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket requires no complex setup; it is ready to wear upon purchase. Its primary compatibility is with casual and outdoor apparel. To maintain its performance and appearance, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 40°C (104°F) with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can damage the fabric's water-repellent properties.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
- Re-waterproofing: Over time, the durable water repellent (DWR) finish may wear off. To restore this, you can use a specialized DWR re-proofing spray or wash-in treatment after cleaning, following the product's instructions. Ensure the jacket is clean before applying any treatment.
