FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The jacket is windproof and waterproof, with a fleece-lined collar and pockets for added warmth. It is designed to be worn as a shell or with layers underneath. For extreme cold, additional insulating layers would be necessary.
How do I know if I need to reapply the DWR treatment?
The DWR treatment needs reapplication when water no longer beads up and rolls off the fabric surface, but instead starts to soak into the material.
Can this jacket be worn by women?
This is a men's jacket with a regular fit. While women may choose to wear it, the sizing and cut are designed for a male physique.
What is the main difference between this and a softshell jacket?
This jacket features a HELLY TECH® Protection waterproof and windproof membrane, making it more protective against rain and wind. Softshell jackets typically offer more breathability and stretch but less waterproof protection.
How durable is the waterproof coating?
The jacket utilizes HELLY TECH® Protection and a DWR treatment. While durable, the DWR effectiveness can diminish over time with wear and washing, and may require reapplication to maintain peak performance.
What does 'fully sealed' mean for the seams?
Fully sealed seams means that the stitching on the jacket has been taped or sealed to prevent water from entering through the needle holes, ensuring the jacket remains waterproof.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer shedding water effectively.
Reapply Durable Water Repellency (DWR) treatment according to product instructions. Ensure the jacket is clean before reapplication.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and a mild soap solution. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Apply a silicone-based lubricant if necessary.
Inner lining feels sticky or uncomfortable.
Ensure the jacket is fully dry after washing. Avoid using fabric softener, which can affect the lining's properties. Check care label for specific washing instructions.
Reduced breathability, leading to clamminess.
Check for blockages in vents or underarm zippers (if applicable on other models). Ensure the DWR treatment is intact and wash the jacket to remove any residue that might be hindering breathability.
