FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
No, this windbreaker is designed for wind and light moisture resistance. For heavy or prolonged rain, a waterproof jacket is recommended.
What is Omni-Shield™ technology?
Omni-Shield™ is an advanced repellency treatment that resists moisture and stains, helping to keep you dry and the garment looking clean.
How do I wash the windbreaker?
Machine wash cold with like colors using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Do not iron or dry clean.

The product description does not specify pocket details. Please refer to product imagery or a more detailed product listing for this information.

What material is the jacket made of?
The jacket is primarily made of nylon.
What is the main benefit of the back venting system?
The back venting system enhances breathability by allowing air to circulate, helping to regulate body temperature and improve comfort during physical activity.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems reduced.
The Omni-Shield™ treatment may need refreshing. Ensure the garment is clean, then consider using a water-repellent spray specifically designed for outdoor apparel, following the product's instructions. Avoid using fabric softeners during washing, as they can degrade water-repellent properties.
Jacket feels less breathable than expected.
Check if the back vents are obstructed. Ensure they are clear of debris or backpack straps. If washing, confirm that no residue from harsh detergents or fabric softeners remains, as this can affect breathability.
Stains are difficult to remove.
Treat stains promptly. For minor stains, a damp cloth may suffice. For tougher stains, pre-treat with a mild stain remover before washing according to care instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the fabric or its finish.
