FAQs
What is 50 Fili Wax fabric?
50 Fili Wax is CP Company's iconic fabric, a blend of nylon and cotton that is treated with a semi-transparent, waterproof synthetic coating featuring a wax effect for enhanced durability and weather resistance.
How do I care for the wax coating?
To maintain the wax coating, avoid high heat drying and harsh detergents. Gentle washing on a cold cycle and air drying are recommended. Periodic re-waxing may be beneficial for sustained water repellency.
Is the jacket truly waterproof or water-resistant?
The jacket features a waterproof synthetic coating with a wax effect, offering strong water resistance. It is designed to protect against moderate rain and weather elements.
Why is the color slightly different on each jacket?
The jacket undergoes a double garment dyeing process where nylon and cotton fibers are dyed separately. This creates unique tonal contrasts and depth, resulting in slight color variations that make each piece individually distinct.
Can I machine wash the jacket?
Yes, but it is highly recommended to use a cold, delicate cycle with a mild detergent. Always air dry the jacket to preserve the fabric and its finish.
What does 'Explorer Hood' mean?
The 'Explorer Hood' refers to a specific design of the hood that is adjustable, offering enhanced coverage and protection against various weather conditions.
What is the fit like?
This jacket features a regular fit, designed to be comfortable for layering without being overly loose.
Troubleshooting
Jacket appears to lose water repellency.
The wax finish may require reapplication. Consult product-specific re-waxing instructions or a professional care service.
Color fading or unevenness after washing.
Ensure washing is done on a cold, delicate cycle with mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals and direct sunlight during drying. Slight variations are natural due to the double garment dyeing process.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to the zipper teeth if necessary.
Drawstring at the hem is frayed or broken.
Contact customer support for potential replacement parts or repair advice. Avoid cutting or further damaging the drawstring.
