FAQs

What does the '2.5-layer construction' mean?

It refers to the waterproof/breathable membrane being bonded to an outer fabric, with a protective 'half' layer (often a microdot pattern) on the inside instead of a full fabric lining. This construction is lightweight and packable.

How waterproof is this jacket?

The jacket has a Waterproof (WP) rating of 20,000mm, which is considered highly waterproof and suitable for heavy rain conditions.

Is this jacket suitable for cold weather?

While it provides wind protection, it's a rain jacket designed for versatile conditions. For very cold weather, layering with insulating mid-layers is recommended.

How do I clean the jacket to maintain its performance?

Machine wash cold with liquid detergent, do not use bleach or fabric softener, and tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Avoid dry cleaning.

What is the warranty period for waterproofness?

FootJoy offers a 3-year manufacturers waterproof warranty on this jacket.

Can I wear this for activities other than golf?

Yes, its waterproof and breathable features, along with its comfortable fit, make it suitable for various outdoor activities in wet weather.

How does the knit panelling help my golf swing?

The engineered knit panels are placed in areas like the arms and back to allow for greater stretch and freedom of movement, preventing restriction during the rotational motion of the golf swing.

Troubleshooting

Jacket seems to be leaking water

Ensure all zippers are fully closed and that the DWR finish on the outer fabric has not worn off. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and consider reapplying a DWR treatment.

Reduced breathability or feeling clammy inside

The jacket may require cleaning to remove dirt and oils that can clog the pores of the waterproof membrane. Wash according to care instructions. Ensure the inner garment is also moisture-wicking.

Cuffs are not secure or waterproof

Check the hook-and-loop fasteners on the cuffs for debris. Clean them gently and ensure they are properly aligned and fastened for a snug fit.
