FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket features a durable water-repellent finish and is wind-resistant, making it suitable for light rain and wind. For heavy downpours, a fully waterproof garment would be more appropriate.

What are the best printing methods for this jacket?

This softshell is designed to be printable with screen printing, transfer printing, and vinyl printing methods. It's always recommended to perform a test print first.

How should I wash this jacket to maintain its properties?

Machine wash cool using pure soap flakes only. Avoid detergents and fabric conditioners. Line dry or tumble dry on low. Do not iron.

Can I wear this jacket in warm weather?

While breathable, the jacket is designed with warmth in mind due to its softshell construction. It is best suited for cooler temperatures or as an outer layer in milder conditions.

What does '3 Layer Fabric Technology' mean?

It refers to the construction of the fabric, typically comprising an outer shell, a middle membrane (for wind/water resistance and breathability), and an inner lining or backing for warmth and comfort.

Does the jacket have a hood?

No, this model features a standing collar neckline and does not include a hood.

What sizes are available?

This jacket is available in a range of adult sizes. Please refer to the product listing for specific size availability (e.g., S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL).

Troubleshooting

Water-repellent finish is no longer effective

Ensure you are washing with pure soap flakes and avoiding detergents. Consider reapplying a suitable DWR treatment to the fabric.

Printing is not adhering well or is uneven

Check the fabric surface for any residue from washing or wear. Ensure correct temperature and pressure settings for your chosen printing method (screen, transfer, or vinyl). A test print on a hidden area is recommended.

Jacket feels stiff after washing

This can sometimes occur if harsh detergents were used. Ensure you are using pure soap flakes as per instructions. Gentle tumble drying on low heat might help soften the fabric.

Zipper is difficult to use

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Ensure the zipper track is clean. A small amount of graphite (from a pencil) can sometimes lubricate the teeth.

Pros

  • Highly suitable for customisation with various printing techniques.
  • Offers good protection against wind and light rain.
  • Durable and lightweight construction.
  • Comfortable with stretch fabric for ease of movement.
  • Breathable material helps regulate body temperature.

Cons

  • Requires specific washing instructions to maintain performance.
  • May not be suitable for heavy downpours.
  • The adjustable hem might be less effective on some body types.
  • Tearaway label may not be suitable for all customisation needs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This jacket requires no setup; it is ready to wear out of the packaging. The primary 'setup' involves any customisation (printing) desired.

Compatibility:

  • Printing Compatibility: Designed for screen printing, transfer printing, and vinyl printing. It is advisable to test your chosen printing method on a small, inconspicuous area or a fabric swatch first to ensure optimal results.
  • Layering: Its design makes it compatible for layering over lighter garments like t-shirts or fleeces for added warmth.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the jacket's performance, especially the water-repellent finish and fabric integrity, follow these washing instructions:

  1. Washing: Use a cool machine wash with pure soap flakes. Avoid using detergents or fabric conditioners, as these can compromise the fabric's technical properties.
  2. Drying: Line dry or tumble dry on a low heat setting. Avoid direct heat sources.
  3. Ironing: Do not iron. If ironing is absolutely necessary for printing preparation, use a very low heat setting on the reverse side and protect the fabric.
  4. Re-proofing: Periodically re-apply a water-repellent spray suitable for technical fabrics to maintain the DWR finish.
