FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the Thermo Pro insulation?

Thermo Pro insulation provides high levels of warmth while remaining lightweight and compressible, ensuring comfort without adding bulk.

How does the EcoShield DWR finish work?

EcoShield is a durable water-repellent treatment that causes water to bead up and roll off the fabric surface, helping to keep you dry in light rain or snow.

Can this jacket be worn in heavy rain?

The jacket has a DWR finish that repels light rain. For heavy or prolonged rain, it is recommended to wear a waterproof outer shell over this jacket.

Is the RFID blocking pocket effective against all types of scanners?

The RFID blocking pocket is designed to shield contactless cards and passports from common RFID readers, helping to prevent unauthorized data skimming.

How do I wash and care for this jacket?

Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle, do not bleach, and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid ironing and dry cleaning.

Can this jacket be worn in very cold, freezing temperatures?

While warm, this jacket is best suited for cool to moderate conditions. For freezing temperatures, layering with additional warm clothing underneath is recommended.

What does 'Packaway' mean?

Packaway indicates that the jacket is designed to be easily compressed and folded into a small size, making it convenient to pack for travel or storage.

Troubleshooting

Jacket loses its water-repellent properties.

The EcoShield DWR finish may need reapplication. Clean the jacket and use a commercial DWR spray or wash-in treatment, following product instructions.

Jacket feels less warm than expected.

Ensure all zippers and closures are fully fastened. For colder conditions, consider wearing a base layer and/or mid-layer underneath for increased insulation.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently pull the zipper up and down. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.

Stitching appears to be coming undone.

For minor loose threads, carefully trim them with scissors. For more significant seam issues, consult a professional tailor or contact customer support.
