FAQs
Is this jacket truly waterproof?
It is water-repellent and windproof, designed to handle light rain and coastal spray, but it is not classified as a fully waterproof seam-sealed rain jacket.
Can I wear this in winter?
It is best suited for transitional weather. You can wear it in winter if you layer it over an insulating mid-layer like a fleece or wool sweater.
How should I choose the right size?
The jacket features a regular fit. If you plan on wearing bulky layers underneath, you might consider your standard size, but for a tailored look, stick to your usual measurements.
What is the material composition?
The jacket is constructed from high-quality technical polyester designed for durability and weather resistance.
Can I dry clean this jacket?
It is recommended to follow the care label instructions. Generally, machine washing is preferred over dry cleaning to preserve the water-repellent finish.
Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak through the fabric
The DWR finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket and reapply a manufacturer-approved water-repellent spray.
Zipper feels stiff or difficult to close
Clean any debris or salt buildup from the zipper teeth using a soft brush and warm water. Applying a tiny amount of dry zipper lubricant can also help.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Storm Sailor Jacket, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can damage the water-repellent finish.
- Drying: Air dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Avoid tumble drying on high heat to protect the integrity of the zippers and fabric.
- Storage: Hang the jacket on a sturdy hanger to maintain its shape. Avoid folding it tightly for long periods to prevent creasing.
- Maintenance: If the water-repellent performance diminishes over time, consider using a specialized DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray treatment suitable for synthetic softshell materials.
