FAQs
What does 'packaway' mean for this jacket?
'Packaway' typically refers to a jacket that can be easily folded or rolled up into a compact size, often fitting into its own pocket or a small pouch, making it convenient for travel or carrying as an emergency layer.
How do I know if the size XXXL will fit me?
Refer to the TOG24 size chart for specific measurements. Generally, XXXL is a very large size intended for adults with broader builds. It's recommended to check the chest, waist, and sleeve length measurements against your own.
Is the jacket suitable for very heavy rain?
The jacket features waterproof fabric, fully taped seams, and a water-repellent coating, designed to keep you dry. While it offers significant protection, for prolonged exposure to torrential downpours, a jacket with higher hydrostatic head ratings might be considered, though this jacket should perform well in most typical wet conditions.
Can I wear a thicker layer underneath this jacket?
Yes, the jacket is designed for adult wear and the smooth sleeve lining (taffeta) allows for easy sliding over other layers. While the body has a mesh lining, there is generally enough room for a fleece or jumper underneath, especially in larger sizes like XXXL, for added warmth.
How should I maintain the water-repellent coating?
To maintain the water repellency, avoid using fabric softeners or harsh detergents when washing. After washing and drying, you can reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment spray designed for outdoor clothing to refresh its performance.
Does the jacket have a hood?
The product description does not mention a hood. This particular model features a retro-inspired quarter zip at the neck.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer fully waterproof.
The water-repellent coating may have worn off. Consider using a specialist re-proofing spray designed for outdoor apparel to restore its water repellency. Ensure the jacket is clean before applying any treatments.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Ensure there are no fabric snags in the zipper. Gently rub a graphite pencil tip or a bar of soap along the zipper teeth to lubricate it. Always close zippers before washing.
Lining feels sticky or uncomfortable.
Ensure the jacket is completely dry after washing and drying according to care instructions. If the issue persists, the internal coating might be degrading, which is rare but can occur with excessive wear or improper care over time.
