FAQs

What type of activities is this jacket best suited for?

It is ideal for stop-and-go activities like hiking, trekking, and climbing, as well as for general outdoor use and urban leisure. Its dynamic heat management makes it suitable for varying exertion levels.

How does the hybrid padding work?

The hybrid padding is strategically placed on the torso to provide warmth where it's most needed, while leaving the arms free to move without restriction. This enhances comfort and performance during active pursuits.

Can this jacket be worn in very cold weather?

The Marmarole Retro Jacket is designed as a versatile mid-layer or standalone piece for moderate conditions. For very cold weather, it can be layered under a more insulated jacket or a waterproof shell for added warmth and protection.

How should I clean the jacket?

Machine wash cold (30°C) with similar colors, closing all zippers before washing. Do not bleach, tumble dry, or dry clean. Iron at a low temperature if needed.

What is the fit like?

The jacket features a feminine cut designed to follow natural movements and provide a flattering fit for women. It is designed for an active fit, allowing for layering underneath.

Does it have pockets?

Yes, it includes a practical zipped chest pocket and two larger front pockets for storing essentials.

What material is the jacket made from?

The jacket primarily uses Fleece material, with specific hybrid padding for the torso and breathable side panels.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth for smoother operation. Avoid using oils that can stain.

Pilling or matting of fleece material

This can occur with frequent friction. Ensure proper washing by closing zippers and washing inside out. Avoid overloading the washing machine. Gentle use and proper care will minimize this.

Reduced water repellency (if applicable to padding)

The padding is designed for insulation, not waterproofing. If the outer fabric has a DWR treatment, it may need reapplication after multiple washes. Follow care instructions to maintain fabric integrity.
