FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket has a 10,000mm water column, making it suitable for moderate to heavy rain. For prolonged exposure to downpours, a more robust waterproof jacket might be necessary.

How do I fold the jacket into its pocket?

Turn the jacket inside out, starting with the hood. Fold the sleeves inward, then fold the body of the jacket. Tuck the folded jacket into one of the front pockets, zipping it up to secure.

What does 'recycled polyamide' mean?

Recycled polyamide is a synthetic fiber made from post-consumer or post-industrial waste materials. Using it helps conserve resources and reduce waste compared to virgin polyamide.

Can I wear this jacket over other layers?

Yes, the jacket is designed to be worn as an outer layer. Its fit accommodates light to medium layers underneath, depending on the size chosen.

How should I clean the jacket?

It is recommended to machine wash at 30°C with a mild detergent and no fabric softener. Always check the specific care label on your garment for precise instructions.

Is the hood adjustable?

Yes, the hood is fixed and features an adjustable drawstring to ensure a snug fit around the head.

What is the length of the jacket?

This is a short windbreaker style jacket, meaning it typically ends around the waist or slightly below.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency is decreasing

Reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment. Ensure the garment is clean before application and follow the instructions on the treatment product.

Zipper is difficult to move

Ensure the fabric around the zipper is clear. Gently try to move the zipper. If it persists, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or wax can help lubricate the teeth.

Reduced breathability

Check that the ventilation cut-out on the back is not obstructed. Ensure the garment is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the fabric's pores.
