Full details

Its key benefit is its exceptional compressibility, allowing it to be easily stowed in a pocket or bag for on-the-go protection. A potential caveat is that while water-resistant, it is not fully waterproof for prolonged heavy rain. This unisex jacket offers a blend of style and functionality, featuring innovative recycled ripstop fabric for enhanced breathability and wind/rain protection, making it ideal for versatile, everyday use.

FAQs

What does "micro ripstop 4.0 fabric" mean?

Micro ripstop 4.0 fabric is an advanced, lightweight woven material with a special reinforcing technique that makes it resistant to tearing and ripping. The "4.0" indicates a newer, potentially enhanced version of this fabric technology.

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket is waterproof and water-repellent with a 10,000mm water column, offering good protection against moderate rain. For prolonged heavy downpours, additional waterproof gear may be necessary.

How do I know if the jacket will fit me?

The jacket is designed with a regular fit and is unisex. Refer to the size chart provided by the retailer for specific measurements. The adjustable hood and hem allow for some customization of fit.

Can I wash this jacket in a washing machine?

Yes, it can be machine washed cold on a gentle cycle. However, it is important to follow the care instructions on the product label to maintain the fabric's performance and durability.

What are the benefits of using recycled polyamide?

Using recycled polyamide helps conserve natural resources, reduces waste, and lowers the environmental impact associated with producing virgin materials. It allows for a more sustainable product without compromising quality.

How small does the jacket pack down?

The jacket is designed to be highly compressible and can be folded and stowed into one of its own pockets, making it very compact for easy transport.

Troubleshooting

Jacket not fully repelling water after some use.

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment may need to be reapplied. Follow product guidelines for re-treatment after washing.

Zipper feels stiff or difficult to move.

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move it. If persistent, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) can help lubricate the teeth.

Jacket feels slightly warm for a "windbreaker".

This is due to the enhanced breathability features. For very warm weather, consider wearing it with lighter layers or open.

Difficulty folding the jacket into its pocket.

Ensure the jacket is completely dry. Start by folding it into a flat shape, then roll or fold it tightly towards the designated pocket.
