FAQs
What is Thermore® Booster padding?
Thermore® Booster is a type of synthetic insulation designed to provide lightweight warmth, making the jacket comfortable for layering without adding excessive bulk.
Is this jacket waterproof?
This jacket is designed for lightweight insulation and is not specified as waterproof. It offers protection against light rain or drizzle but is not intended for heavy downpours.
How do I know if the size S will fit me?
Refer to the product's size chart for detailed measurements of chest, waist, and sleeve length. It is recommended to compare these measurements with a similar garment you own that fits well.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
While it provides warmth, the jacket is described as 'light'. For extremely cold conditions, it is best used as a layer over warmer clothing or under a heavier outer shell.
What are the main advantages of the two-way zip?
The two-way zip allows for adjustable ventilation from the top or bottom. You can unzip from the bottom for a more relaxed fit or to prevent bunching when sitting, or unzip from the top for quick ventilation.
How should I care for the checked lining?
The care instructions for the main jacket material generally apply to the lining as well. Gentle washing and avoiding high heat during drying will help preserve the lining's appearance and integrity.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels too tight or too loose
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to the size chart for accurate measurements. The ribbed cuffs and hem offer some flexibility, but proper sizing is key for comfort and fit.
Padding seems uneven after washing
Gently redistribute the padding by hand after washing and during drying. Avoid aggressive wringing or twisting. Refer to specific care instructions for padded garments.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. Gently move the zipper up and down. Applying a small amount of lubricant like wax or a graphite pencil to the zipper teeth can help smooth its action.
