FAQs
What does 'hardshell' mean for this jacket?
A hardshell jacket provides a protective outer layer against wind and rain. It's designed to be waterproof and windproof while remaining breathable, often used in combination with insulating layers underneath.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The jacket itself is designed for protection against weather, not insulation. It can be layered with warm mid-layers and base layers to adapt it for cold conditions.
What does PFC-free mean?
PFC-free means the jacket is made without perfluorinated chemicals, which are often used in DWR coatings but can be harmful to the environment. Jack Wolfskin uses environmentally friendly alternatives.
How often should I re-waterproof the jacket?
Re-waterproofing is recommended when you notice water is no longer beading on the surface, typically after numerous washes or extended use in wet conditions.
Can I machine wash this jacket?
Yes, you can machine wash it on a gentle cycle at 30°C with a special detergent for waterproof-breathable clothing. Avoid fabric softener and bleach.
What is the benefit of bluesign certification?
Bluesign certification ensures that the product is made with responsible use of resources, minimal impact on people and the environment, and the highest level of consumer safety.
Where can I find the sizing chart?
Sizing charts are typically available on the product page or a dedicated sizing section of the retailer's website. It's recommended to check your chest and waist measurements against the provided chart.
Troubleshooting
Water is not beading on the jacket surface.
The water-repellent (DWR) treatment has likely worn off. Follow the re-waterproofing steps in the care instructions to restore its performance.
Jacket feels clammy or less breathable.
Ensure the jacket is clean and free of dirt or residue. Check that the vents (if present) are open and unobstructed. Re-apply DWR treatment if breathability issues persist after cleaning.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.
Clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a soft brush. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper teeth for smoother operation.
