FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
The jacket is water-repellent due to its TEXASHIELD PRO fabric and softshell outer, meaning it can handle light rain and snow. However, it is not fully waterproof and may not withstand prolonged exposure to heavy downpours.
What is the main purpose of the TEXASHIELD PRO fabric?
TEXASHIELD PRO fabric is designed to provide a combination of windproofing, breathability, and water resistance, making it ideal for active use in variable weather conditions where wind protection is key.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold winter weather?
The jacket itself provides wind protection and some insulation. For very cold conditions, it is best used as part of a layering system, worn over insulating layers like fleece or down.
How do I clean the jacket without damaging its features?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C with a special liquid detergent for technical outerwear. Avoid fabric softener, bleach, and rinse twice. Tumble dry on low heat to reactivate the water repellency.
What does 'Bluesign certified' mean?
Bluesign certification indicates that the fabric meets strict environmental, health, and safety standards throughout the production process, ensuring responsible resource use and minimal impact on people and the environment.
Does the jacket have adjustable cuffs or hem?
The provided product information does not specify adjustable cuffs or hem. However, most outdoor jackets of this type feature adjustable elements for a better fit and to seal out drafts. Refer to specific product details or images for confirmation.
What is the weight of the jacket?
The weight of the jacket is approximately 460g for a size Medium.
Troubleshooting
Reduced water repellency
Wash the jacket using a technical wash and tumble dry on low heat to reactivate the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish. If necessary, apply a re-waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment.
Zipper is stiff or sticking
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a small amount of water. Lubricate the zipper with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant.
Fabric feels less breathable
Ensure the jacket is clean. Residue from detergents or body oils can impede breathability. Wash according to care instructions with a technical cleaner and rinse thoroughly.
Hood does not stay in place
Adjust the drawcords around the hood opening to achieve a snugger fit. Ensure the hood is properly positioned before adjusting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:
The Feldberg Hoodie is designed as an outer or mid-layer and is compatible with other clothing items such as baselayers (e.g., thermal underwear) and insulating layers (e.g., fleece jackets, down vests). It can also be worn under a fully waterproof and windproof hardshell jacket for maximum protection in harsh weather.
Care Instructions:
To maintain the performance of the TEXASHIELD PRO fabric and the water-repellent finish, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C (86°F). Use a special liquid detergent for technical outerwear. Do not use fabric softener, bleach, or stain removers.
- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly. It is recommended to rinse twice to ensure all detergent is removed.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low-heat setting or hang dry. Tumble drying reactivates the water-repellent treatment.
- Re-Waterproofing: If the water-repellent finish appears to be wearing off after washing and drying, a standard re-waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment for outdoor clothing can be applied according to the product's instructions.
