FAQs
What is FlashDry fabric?
FlashDry is a fabric technology designed to accelerate the evaporation of moisture, helping to keep the wearer dry and comfortable during physical activity.
Is this jacket waterproof?
This jacket is primarily designed for moisture-wicking and breathability. It offers some protection from light wind and moisture but is not fully waterproof. For heavy rain, it is best used as a layer under a dedicated waterproof jacket.
What is the material composition?
The jacket is made from 86% Polyester and 14% Elastane, providing a balance of durability, stretch, and comfort.
How should I clean the jacket?
The jacket is machine washable. Use a mild detergent and wash with similar colors. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can reduce the effectiveness of the FlashDry fabric.
Can this jacket be worn in cold weather?
It is a lightweight jacket and best suited for moderate temperatures or as a layer in colder conditions. For very cold weather, additional insulating layers would be necessary.
What sizes are available?
This particular guide is for size S (Small) for juniors. The product is also available in other junior sizes. Please refer to product listings for available sizing.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels restrictive.
Ensure the jacket is the correct size. The stretch material offers flexibility, but if it feels tight, a larger size may be needed. Check that zippers and pockets are not hindering movement.
Moisture not wicking effectively.
Confirm that the garment is not excessively dirty, as dirt and residue can impede fabric performance. Wash according to care instructions. Avoid using fabric softeners, which can clog the fibers of moisture-wicking materials.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. If a blockage is present, carefully remove any fabric caught in the teeth. A small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) applied to the zipper teeth can help ease movement.
