Core Lady padded hooded jacket - EA7 - White

The EA7 Core Lady Padded Hooded Jacket features a water-repellent treatment, meaning it will repel light rain and moisture. However, it is not fully waterproof and is not designed for prolonged exposure to heavy, sustained downpours.

This jacket is ideal for 'colder days,' typically meaning autumn, mild winter conditions, and early spring. Its excellent thermal capacity makes it a great choice when temperatures are cool but not extreme.

Always check the specific care label inside the jacket. Generally, it's recommended to machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent and similar colors. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or hang dry completely.

Yes, the EA7 Core Lady Padded Hooded Jacket comes with a convenient dust bag. This is useful for storing the jacket cleanly and compactly when not in use.

Both the outer fabric, inner lining, and padding of the jacket are made from 100% polyester. This technical fabric contributes to its wind-resistant, water-repellent, and thermal properties.

While the jacket offers freedom of movement and a sporty design, it is primarily intended for daily activities, city walks, and casual wear in colder conditions. For intense sports, you might need specialized performance apparel with different ventilation or waterproofing characteristics.

It is recommended to consult the brand's official sizing chart to find the best fit. Consider your usual sizing for outerwear and whether you plan to wear layers underneath. The jacket is designed to maximize freedom of movement, so choose a size that allows for comfortable layering without being too restrictive.

Ensure the front zipper is fully closed and the hood is up for maximum heat retention. Consider wearing appropriate base layers underneath, especially in colder conditions. This jacket is designed for 'colder days,' not extreme winter.

The jacket has a water-repellent treatment, not a waterproof membrane. Over time, or with improper washing, this treatment can degrade. Ensure you are following the care instructions carefully, avoiding fabric softeners, which can hinder water repellency. If needed, specialized DWR (Durable Water Repellent) sprays can be applied after washing to restore performance (check product suitability before applying).

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to work the slider up and down. If it persists, a small amount of graphite from a pencil or a specific zipper lubricant can sometimes ease movement. Always handle zippers gently to prevent damage.

Hang the jacket immediately after washing or removing from the dust bag. For stubborn wrinkles, use a garment steamer or iron on a very low heat setting with a protective cloth between the iron and the fabric. Avoid high heat.

Ensure you have selected the correct size for your body type and intended layering. The technical fabric is designed for freedom of movement, but an overly tight fit will restrict it. Review the size guide if you suspect the size is incorrect.
