Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

It is water-repellent, meaning it protects against light sea spray and rain, but it is not a fully waterproof shell for heavy storms.

Can I wear this as a mid-layer?

Yes, its low-profile design makes it an excellent mid-layer to wear under a dedicated sailing jacket.

Does it provide enough warmth for winter?

This insulator is designed for milder conditions. It is likely not warm enough for extreme winter temperatures as a standalone piece.

How should I wash it?

Use a gentle machine cycle with a mild technical detergent and hang it to dry.

Does the material stretch?

Yes, it features 2-way stretch fabric specifically designed to provide unrestricted movement.

Troubleshooting

Garment seems to be losing water repellency.

Wash the garment to remove dirt and oils, then re-apply a specialized DWR treatment spray following the manufacturer's instructions.

Fleece lining feels stiff after washing.

Ensure the garment is fully air-dried and gently shake it to fluff the fibers; do not use fabric softeners.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent balance of insulation and breathability
  • High-mobility design with articulated joints
  • Effective water-repellent finish for marine environments
  • Lightweight construction for easy layering

Cons

  • Not intended for extreme cold weather conditions
  • Limited to milder inshore sailing use
  • Requires proper care to maintain water repellency

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This garment is designed for a standard fit suitable for active wear. To maintain the integrity of the water-repellent treatment and the performance of the synthetic insulation, machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent designed for technical outerwear. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating. Always hang the garment to dry using the integrated hanging loop to prevent structural distortion. If the water repellency fades over time, you may re-apply a technical waterproofing spray after washing to restore its functionality.
