FAQs
What is the main benefit of the Rain Defender® technology?
Rain Defender® makes moisture bead up and roll off the fabric, providing protection from light rain and snow. It helps keep you dry in damp conditions.
How should I care for this shirt jacket?
Machine wash cold at 40° C, use chlorine-free bleach if needed, tumble dry on the lowest setting, and iron with a cold iron. Do not dry clean.
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
No, the jacket features a water-repellent finish, which is effective against light rain and snow but not designed for heavy or prolonged downpours. For such conditions, a fully waterproof garment is recommended.
Can I wear other layers underneath?
Yes, the relaxed fit is designed to accommodate layering over other clothing items like long-sleeve shirts or thermal base layers for added warmth.
What does Wind Fighter® technology do?
Wind Fighter® technology is designed to stop wind from penetrating the fabric, helping to retain body heat and keep you more comfortable in windy conditions.
What material is the jacket made of?
The jacket is made of heavyweight fleece, weighing 13.3 oz/yd² - 451 gsm.
How durable is the construction?
The jacket features triple-stitched main seams, which significantly enhance its durability and ability to withstand rigorous use.
Troubleshooting
Wind penetration despite Wind Fighter® technology
Ensure all snaps and cuffs are securely fastened. Check for any potential damage to the fabric that might compromise the wind-blocking properties.
Water soaking through during rain
Remember that the Rain Defender® finish is water-repellent, not waterproof. For heavy rain, consider a fully waterproof outer shell. The repellent finish may also diminish over time; reapplication of a DWR treatment might be necessary.
Reduced warmth after washing
Ensure the garment is dried correctly according to care instructions. Avoid high heat drying, which can damage fleece fibers. Check that no fabric softeners were used, as they can sometimes reduce the insulating properties of fleece.
Snaps are difficult to fasten or unfasten
New snaps can be stiff. Work them a few times to loosen them gradually. Avoid forcing them, which could cause damage.
