FAQs
What does 'Water-resistant - Treated with (DWR)' mean?
It means the fabric has been treated with a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish. This causes water to bead up and roll off the surface, protecting you from light rain or splashes. It does not make the jacket fully waterproof for heavy downpours.
How accurate is the '-30°C Thermal Tested' rating?
This rating is based on laboratory testing under specific conditions. Actual warmth experienced can vary depending on factors like your activity level, how many layers you wear underneath, personal metabolism, and environmental conditions like wind chill.
Can I wear this jacket in heavy rain?
The jacket is water-resistant, suitable for light rain or brief exposure. For prolonged or heavy rainfall, a fully waterproof jacket would provide better protection.
How should I clean the jacket?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water (30°C), using a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry.
What is the warranty period?
The jacket comes with a 2-year warranty, covering manufacturing defects and ensuring quality.
Is this jacket suitable for sports activities?
While it provides warmth, its thermal performance can be affected by perspiration during high-intensity activities. It is best suited for moderate activities like walking or casual wear in cold weather.
What is the outer material of the jacket?
The outer material is polyester, which is known for its durability and insulating properties.
Troubleshooting
Jacket loses water repellency over time
Wash the jacket according to care instructions and then tumble dry on low heat. This can reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish. If performance is still poor, consider applying a specialized DWR re-proofing spray.
Reduced warmth after washing
Ensure the jacket is completely dry. Synthetic insulation can clump when wet; tumble drying on a low setting with clean tennis balls can help restore loft and warmth.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush. Apply a small amount of wax (like a candle or lip balm) to the zipper teeth to help it slide smoothly.
