FAQs
What material is the jacket made of?
The jacket is made from 90% polyester and 10% elastane.
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The jacket features a water-repellent finish, which is effective against light rain and moisture. For heavy downpours, a waterproof jacket may be more appropriate.
How should I wash the jacket?
Machine wash cold with like colors. Do not bleach. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Cool iron if needed. Do not dry clean.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
This jacket is designed for active use and provides warmth. For very cold conditions, it's recommended to layer it with warmer clothing underneath.
What does the '4-way stretch' feature provide?
The 4-way stretch means the fabric can stretch in all four directions (lengthwise and widthwise), offering maximum freedom of movement and comfort during physical activities.
Does the hood have adjustable features?
Yes, the hood is adjustable, allowing you to customize its fit and coverage for optimal protection against the weather.
What is the purpose of the front wind guard?
The front wind guard is an additional layer or design feature that helps block wind from entering through the front zipper area, providing extra warmth and protection.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems reduced.
Apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) refresher spray after washing, following product instructions. Ensure the jacket is clean before application.
Jacket feels restrictive during movement.
Confirm you are wearing the correct size. The 4-way stretch is designed for mobility, so a size issue is the most likely cause of restriction.
Zipper is difficult to move.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to pull the fabric away. Lubricating the zipper with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant can also help.
Jacket is not breathable enough.
Ensure the inner layer is also breathable and not trapping moisture. Clean the jacket as residues can sometimes affect fabric breathability.
