FAQs
Is this jacket truly waterproof?
The jacket is rated as showerproof with a water-repellency of 6000mm. It is designed to resist light rain and water splashes but is not fully waterproof for prolonged or heavy downpours.
What is the primary benefit of the recycled materials used?
The use of recycled polyester and nylon reduces environmental impact by repurposing existing materials, lessening the demand for virgin resources and minimizing waste.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
The jacket is windproof and breathable, offering some warmth. However, it is best suited for mild to cool conditions. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer it over insulating clothing.
How do I clean the jacket to maintain its performance?
Machine wash at 30°C with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, and high heat drying or ironing, as these can damage the fabric's water-repellent and breathable properties. Always close zippers and wash inside out.
What does 'breathable: 6000 gr' mean?
This rating indicates the jacket's ability to allow moisture vapor (sweat) to escape from the inside out. A rating of 6000 gr/m²/24hr signifies a good level of breathability for moderate activities.
Can this jacket be customized with a logo?
Yes, the jacket features an inside zipper specifically for easy access for decoration or branding, making it suitable for customisation.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is not as water-repellent as expected.
Ensure the outer fabric is clean. Dirt and oils can reduce water repellency. Consider reapplying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment specifically designed for technical outerwear if performance has significantly degraded over time.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free any obstructions. Lubricate the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil (rubbing the lead along the teeth) or a specialized zipper lubricant.
Jacket feels clammy or damp on the inside.
This can occur in high humidity or when the jacket is under significant strain (e.g., intense physical activity). Ensure the garment is worn with breathable layers underneath. For extreme conditions, consider a more specialized waterproof jacket.
Ribbed cuffs feel too tight.
The ribbed cuffs are designed to provide a snug fit. If they feel excessively tight, ensure you have selected the correct size. The fabric may stretch slightly with wear, but significant discomfort may indicate an improper fit.
