FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the 3-layer fabric technology?

The 3-layer fabric technology offers a balance of durability, breathability, and protection. It helps to keep the wearer dry from both external moisture and internal perspiration.

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket features a durable water-repellent finish and is wind-resistant, making it suitable for light rain or showers. It is not fully waterproof and may not provide adequate protection in prolonged heavy rain.

How should I clean the jacket to maintain its performance?

Machine wash cool with pure soap flakes. Avoid biological detergents and fabric softeners. Do not bleach, tumble dry, or iron. Air dry away from direct heat.

What types of printing are best suited for this jacket?

The jacket is specifically designed to be printable using screen printing, transfer printing, and vinyl printing methods. Always test your chosen method first.

Can I adjust the fit of the jacket?

Yes, the jacket features an adjustable shockcord hem, allowing you to tighten the base of the jacket for a more secure fit and to keep out drafts.

What does 'warm backed woven softshell' mean?

This refers to the fabric construction, which has a soft, brushed interior ('warm backed') for added comfort and insulation, combined with a smooth, durable woven exterior. It provides a good warmth-to-weight ratio.

What is the 'zip guard' feature?

The zip guard is a small flap of fabric at the top of the main zipper, designed to prevent the zip slider from irritating or scratching the wearer's chin.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency seems reduced.

This can happen over time with use and washing. Ensure you are using pure soap flakes and avoiding fabric conditioners. Consider applying a commercial DWR re-treatment spray or wash, following the product's instructions.

Printing adhesion is poor or affecting fabric.

Test your printing method on a small, inconspicuous area or a fabric swatch. Ensure correct heat and pressure settings are used for the specific printing technique (screen, transfer, vinyl) and ink/material. Avoid excessive heat, which can damage the fabric's membrane.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Ensure the zip guard is clear of fabric. Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a mild soap. Lubricate the zipper with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant if necessary.

Jacket feels damp inside despite being water-repellent.

This may indicate the fabric's breathability is being overwhelmed by heavy perspiration or extreme humidity. Ensure the hem is not too tightly adjusted, allowing some air circulation. The jacket is water-repellent, not waterproof, so heavy rain may eventually penetrate.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly wind-resistant and water-repellent for outdoor protection.
  • Breathable fabric prevents overheating during activity.
  • Durable construction suitable for frequent use.
  • Excellent for custom printing and branding.
  • Lightweight design without compromising warmth.

Cons

  • May require specific printing techniques to maintain water repellency.
  • Not fully waterproof, intended for light rain or spray.
  • Adjustable hem shockcord may be a snag hazard if not managed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This jacket requires no setup, as it is a ready-to-wear garment.

Compatibility:

  • Printing Compatibility: Designed for screen printing, transfer printing, and vinyl printing. Always test your chosen decoration method on a sample or inconspicuous area first to ensure optimal results and material integrity.
  • Sizing: Available in a range of men's sizes (e.g., S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL) with specific UK waist measurements provided for reference. Ensure you consult the size guide for the best fit.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Use a cool machine wash with pure soap flakes. Avoid harsh detergents or fabric softeners, which can degrade the water-repellent finish and fabric technology.
  • Drying: Do not tumble dry. Air dry the jacket away from direct heat sources.
  • Ironing: Avoid ironing directly on any printed areas. If ironing is necessary, use a cool setting and iron on the reverse side of the fabric.
  • Maintenance of Water Repellency: For prolonged water-repellent performance, consider re-applying a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment after washing and drying, following the product's instructions.
