FAQs

Is this jacket fully waterproof?

No, the jacket features a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish, which is effective against light rain and moisture but not designed for prolonged exposure to heavy downpours. It is water-repellent, not waterproof.

What type of printing methods are recommended?

This softshell jacket is designed to be compatible with screen printing, transfer printing, and vinyl printing. It's always advisable to test on a small area first.

How should I wash the jacket to maintain its properties?

Wash on a cool machine cycle using pure soap flakes. Avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the fabric's water-repellent finish and breathability.

Can I iron the jacket?

It is recommended not to iron the jacket. If necessary, use a very low heat setting with extreme caution, avoiding direct contact with the fabric surface, especially printed areas.

What does 'warm backed woven softshell' mean?

This refers to the fabric construction. 'Softshell' indicates a comfortable, flexible material. 'Woven' means the fabric is created by interlacing threads. 'Warm backed' suggests it has an insulating layer, likely fleece-like, on the inside for added warmth.

Is the label removable?

Yes, the jacket features a tearaway label that can be easily removed without damaging the garment, which is often preferred for custom printing applications.

What is the 'shockcord hem' for?

The shockcord hem allows you to adjust the fit around the bottom of the jacket. Pulling the cord tight helps to seal out wind and drafts, improving warmth and comfort.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency decreasing over time.

Reapply a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish following product instructions. Ensure the garment is clean before application.

Poor print adhesion or quality.

Ensure the garment surface is clean and free from any residues. Verify the printing method and materials are suitable for softshell fabric. Consult with printing experts if issues persist.

Jacket feels stiff after washing.

Use pure soap flakes as recommended and avoid harsh detergents. Ensure the garment is rinsed thoroughly. Gentle tumble drying on low heat may help restore softness.

Zipper is difficult to use.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Apply a small amount of graphite (pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.
