FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
No, the Iona Softshell Jacket is water-resistant, meaning it's treated to repel light rain and surface moisture. It is not waterproof and is not designed for prolonged exposure to heavy downpours.
What kind of activities is this jacket best for?
It is ideal for everyday use, casual walks, light hiking, travel, and general outdoor activities where protection from light rain and wind is needed.
How do I maintain the water-resistant treatment?
Wash the jacket with mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners. After washing, you can reapply a DWR finish using a spray or wash-in product to restore its water-repellent properties.
Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?
As a softshell, it offers some insulation but is primarily a mid-layer or outer layer for mild to cool conditions. For very cold weather, you would need to layer it over warmer insulation like a fleece or down jacket.
How many pockets does the jacket have?
The jacket features multiple pockets designed to keep your valuables safe and accessible.
What material is the jacket made of?
The jacket is made from polyester, which contributes to its lightweight, breathable, and durable qualities.

Troubleshooting
Water not beading off the fabric effectively
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment following product instructions.
Jacket feels damp inside despite no rain
This could be due to reduced breathability. Ensure the jacket is clean and free from dirt or residue. Consider washing with a technical cleaner.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to free it. Lubricate the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant.
Adjustable features are not holding their position
Ensure the toggles or Velcro are clean and functioning correctly. If damaged, they may need repair or replacement.
