FAQs
What type of weather is this jacket best suited for?
This jacket is ideal for light rain, windy conditions, and cooler temperatures. Its water-resistant properties are best for brief showers rather than prolonged heavy rain.
How do I ensure the best care for the jacket's water-repellent finish?
The recommended care is professional dry-cleaning using specific solvents. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as these can degrade the water-repellent treatment.
Is this jacket insulated?
No, this is an unlined softshell jacket. It is designed to be layered over other clothing for warmth.
What does 'Plus Size Fit' mean for this jacket?
The 'Plus Size Fit' indicates that the jacket has been designed with specific measurements to provide a more comfortable and accommodating fit for larger body types.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
While it offers some warmth and wind protection, it is unlined and best suited for mild to cool weather. For very cold conditions, layering with warmer garments underneath is recommended.
What material is the jacket made of?
The jacket is made of 100% Polyester.
Does the hood have adjustable drawstrings?
Yes, the hood features drawstrings for adjustable coverage and fit.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels stiff after cleaning.
This can sometimes occur with softshell materials. Ensure professional dry-cleaning is performed according to the specific instructions to maintain fabric flexibility.
Water repellency seems reduced.
Over time, water repellency can diminish. Consider a professional re-proofing service if the jacket no longer beads water effectively. Avoid home washing as it can damage the DWR treatment.
Zipper is difficult to operate.
Ensure the area around the zipper is clean and free of debris. If the issue persists, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) can be applied to the teeth, or professional repair may be needed.
