FAQs

What does 'softshell' mean for this jacket?

Softshell refers to the fabric construction, which is typically stretchy, breathable, and offers good resistance to wind and water, making it more comfortable for active wear than a traditional hard shell.

How do I know if the XXXXL size will fit me?

The XXXXL size is designed for a chest circumference of 52-54 inches (132-137cm). We recommend measuring your chest and comparing it to these measurements, or comparing it to a jacket you already own that fits well.

Can this jacket be worn in very cold weather?

This jacket provides wind and water resistance and some warmth. For very cold conditions, it is best worn as an outer layer over insulating garments like fleece or down.

How often should I re-waterproof the jacket?

It is recommended to re-waterproof the jacket periodically, especially if you notice water is no longer beading on the surface. This can be after several washes or when performance diminishes.

What is the center back length?

The center back length for this jacket is 78cm.

Is this jacket suitable for professional work environments?

Yes, the 'Professional' designation suggests it is durable and functional, suitable for outdoor work or a professional, practical uniform.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer water-repellent

The water-repellent finish may have worn off. Follow the care instructions for re-applying a waterproofing treatment.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper. If it remains stiff, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a wax-based lubricant can be applied to the teeth.

Jacket feels damp inside despite being waterproof

This could be due to internal condensation if the jacket is too warm for the conditions or if the breathability is overwhelmed by high exertion. Ensure the ventilation (if any) is open and consider if the jacket is appropriate for the current temperature and activity level. Also, check that the inner zip guard is not hindering breathability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This jacket requires no setup as it is ready to wear. It is compatible with various outdoor activities and casual wear.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30°C (85°F) on a gentle cycle. Use a small amount of liquid detergent. Do not use powder detergent or fabric softener.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with a tennis ball to help reactivate the fabric's water-repellent finish. Alternatively, hang dry away from direct heat.
