Product Information
Full details
The Superdry Arctic Windbreaker Jacket is an ideal choice for women seeking a reliable blend of technical weather protection and casual comfort during unpredictable transitional weather. Its primary benefit lies in the combination of a water-repellent outer shell and a cozy sherpa-lined interior, offering significant warmth against wind and light rain. However, users should note that while it provides robust protection for typical city and outdoor use, it is not a heavy-duty mountaineering garment and may require additional layering in sub-zero, extreme alpine conditions.

FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
The jacket is water-repellent, meaning it is designed to resist light rain and moisture, but it is not fully waterproof for heavy, prolonged rain.
Can I wear this in deep winter?
It is designed as a windbreaker with fleece lining; it works well for cool to cold weather but is not a substitute for a heavy-duty insulated parka in extreme freezing temperatures.
How does the size fit?
The jacket features a relaxed fit, intended to provide room for layering. If you prefer a more tailored look, you may want to consider sizing down.
Does the hood detach?
No, the hood is integrated into the design to maximize wind protection.
What is the best way to clean the sherpa lining?
Follow standard machine wash instructions, but ensure the jacket is turned inside out to protect the outer shell during the wash cycle.
Troubleshooting
Front zipper feels stiff or sticks.
Check for fabric caught in the teeth and ensure the triple-layer tracks are aligned; apply a small amount of zipper lubricant if necessary.
Outer fabric appears to absorb water rather than beading it off.
The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the jacket to remove debris and apply a new DWR spray treatment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your jacket maintains its water-repellent finish and soft interior, follow these guidelines:
- Cleaning: Machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can damage the water-repellent coating.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Tumble drying on high heat may compromise the synthetic fibers and lining.
- Storage: Store on a wide-shouldered hanger to maintain the shape of the hood and collar.
- Maintenance: If the water-repellent performance decreases over time, consider applying a garment-specific DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray designed for polyester jackets.
