FAQs
What is DuPont™ padding?
DuPont™ padding is a type of synthetic insulation known for its lightweight warmth and compressibility, offering effective thermal performance.
Is the jacket suitable for heavy rain?
No, the jacket is described as 'showerproof,' meaning it can withstand light rain for a limited time. It is not designed for heavy or prolonged rainfall.
Can I get my company logo embroidered on this jacket?
Yes, the jacket features an inside zipper specifically for decoration access, making it suitable for adding custom branding like logos or team names.
What materials are used in the jacket?
The outer fabric is 100% recycled polyester 360T with a matt textured 1x1 ripstop finish. The lining is recycled nylon 380T. It is insulated with DuPont™ padding.
How do I clean the jacket?
You can machine wash the jacket at 40°C and tumble dry on a low heat setting. Avoid bleaching and dry cleaning.
What sizes are available?
The jacket is available in a range of adult sizes from XS up to 5XL.
Is the jacket waterproof?
No, the jacket is showerproof, offering protection against light rain. It is not waterproof and will not keep you dry in heavy downpours.
Troubleshooting
Jacket does not feel warm enough
This jacket is designed for light to moderate warmth. For colder conditions, consider layering it over a warmer base layer or wearing a heavier jacket.
Water is soaking through the fabric during rain
The jacket is showerproof, not waterproof. For heavy rain, a more specialized waterproof jacket is recommended. The water-repellent finish may also diminish over time and with washing; consider a re-waterproofing treatment if this occurs.
Zipper is difficult to use
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper. If it remains stiff, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or silicone lubricant applied to the teeth can help. Keep zippers clean from dirt and debris.
Elasticated cuffs feel too tight
The cuffs are designed for a snug fit to prevent drafts. If they feel uncomfortably tight, ensure you have the correct size jacket. They will naturally loosen slightly with wear but are not adjustable.
