FAQs

What material is the jacket made of?

The jacket is made from 100% softshell Nylon with a wind-resistant membrane fabric.

How do I find the right size?

Refer to the sizing guide provided in the product description, which includes chest measurements (in inches and cm) and centre back lengths for various sizes from XS to XXXXXL.

Can I wear this in heavy rain?

Yes, the jacket is waterproof and breathable, making it suitable for rainy conditions, though prolonged submersion in heavy rain may eventually lead to saturation depending on the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish.

What type of activities is this jacket best suited for?

It is ideal for outdoor activities such as hiking, trekking, walking, and general outdoor use where protection from wind and light to moderate rain is needed.

How should I clean the jacket?

Machine wash at 40°C with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry. Do not dry clean.

Does it have an inner lining?

The description mentions an inner zip guard for comfort, but not a full inner lining. It is a softshell jacket designed to be worn with layers underneath if necessary.

What is the 'shaped fit'?

A shaped fit generally means the garment is cut to follow the contours of the body more closely than a straight or boxy cut, providing a more tailored appearance.

Troubleshooting

Water is soaking through the fabric.

The jacket's water-repellent finish may have worn off. Consider re-applying a suitable waterproofing treatment according to the product instructions.

Jacket feels stiff or loses its softness.

Fabric softeners may have been used during washing. Wash the jacket again using only a mild detergent and tumble dry on low heat to help restore softness.

Zippers are difficult to operate.

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Clean the zipper track with a small brush and apply a graphite pencil or wax to help it glide smoothly.

Reduced wind resistance.

Check if the wind-resistant membrane is intact. Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt can sometimes affect fabric performance.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof and wind-resistant protection.
  • Breathable fabric prevents overheating during activity.
  • Multiple secure zip pockets for convenience.
  • Adjustable hem for a personalized fit.
  • Durable softshell Nylon construction.

Cons

  • Shaped fit may not be universally preferred.
  • Primarily designed for functional outdoor wear; may lack high-fashion styling.
  • Specific care instructions are required to maintain performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This jacket requires no assembly and is ready to wear out of the package. It is designed for general adult male wear and is compatible with most outdoor clothing layers. To maintain its waterproof and breathable properties:

  • Washing: Machine wash at 40°C. Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners or bleach, as these can degrade the fabric's performance.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry. Do not dry clean.
  • Re-waterproofing: Periodically, especially after multiple washes, you may need to reapply a waterproofing treatment to maintain optimal performance. Follow the instructions on the waterproofing product.
