FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, the jacket features an Omni-Shield repellent finish, which means it can resist light rain and spills, but it is not fully waterproof.
What is the primary material of the jacket?
The jacket is a hybrid, featuring a quick-drying fleece for warmth and comfort, combined with synthetic insulation and a thermal reflective lining.
How do I wash the jacket?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid bleach, ironing, and dry cleaning.
Can this jacket be used in very cold weather?
It provides good warmth for its weight, but for extreme cold, it is best used as a layering piece with other insulating clothing.
What does the Omni-Heat lining do?
Omni-Heat thermal reflective technology uses small, metallic dots on the lining to reflect your body heat back to you, enhancing warmth without adding bulk.
Does the jacket have adjustable cuffs?
The jacket features comfy stretch bindings at the cuffs, which provide a snug fit to keep out cold air, rather than adjustable straps.
What activities is this jacket best suited for?
It is ideal for hiking, outdoor activities, layering, and everyday winter wear due to its warmth, quick-drying properties, and water resistance.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels less warm than expected
Ensure the Omni-Heat lining is facing inward towards your body. For colder conditions, consider layering additional insulating garments underneath.
Water repellent finish seems less effective
The water repellent treatment can wear off over time. Consider reapplying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment specifically designed for outdoor apparel, following product instructions.
Zipper is sticking
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it persists, apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or wax to the teeth of the zipper.
Fleece material is pilling
Pilling can occur with normal wear and washing. You can use a fabric shaver to carefully remove pills. Avoid washing with abrasive items and follow care instructions closely.
