FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket is water-resistant due to its waxed finish, making it suitable for light to moderate rain. For prolonged exposure to heavy downpours, a fully waterproof jacket might be more appropriate.

How do I know if I need to re-wax the jacket?

You'll know it's time to re-wax when water no longer beads up and rolls off the fabric surface, but instead soaks in.

What is the difference between this jacket and a fully waterproof jacket?

This jacket uses a waxed cotton/polyamide blend for wind and water resistance, offering breathability. Fully waterproof jackets typically use membranes (like Gore-Tex) that are sealed and offer a higher level of water protection but can sometimes be less breathable.

Can I put this jacket in a washing machine?

Yes, you can machine wash it on a cold setting (30°C) with mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach.

What is the warranty period for this jacket?

Information regarding warranty periods is typically found on the retailer's or manufacturer's official website or product documentation. Please refer to those sources for specific details.

Does the jacket have a removable hood?

No, the Vardag Vindby Jacket features a fixed hood.

What kind of activities is this jacket best suited for?

It's ideal for hiking, cycling, kayaking, travel, and general outdoor use where protection from wind and light to moderate rain is needed.

Troubleshooting

Jacket no longer repelling water effectively

Re-apply Greenland Wax to the fabric according to the wax manufacturer's instructions. Ensure the jacket is clean before waxing.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and warm water. Apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to the zipper teeth.

Hood adjustment is not secure

Ensure the drawstring is properly threaded through the hood and the toggle is tightened correctly. Check for any fraying or damage to the drawstring.

Ventilation seems inadequate during activity

Ensure the mesh ventilation is not obstructed. Consider wearing lighter layers underneath during high-exertion activities.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C) with similar colors. Do not bleach.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Avoid high heat.
  3. Re-waxing: To maintain water resistance, re-apply Greenland Wax periodically according to product instructions, typically after several washes or when water no longer beads on the surface. Ironing on low heat after waxing can help distribute the wax evenly.
