Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket is water-resistant with a 10,000mm water column and DWR treatment, making it suitable for moderate rain. For prolonged exposure to heavy downpours, a fully waterproof jacket might be more appropriate.

How do I fold the jacket into its pocket?

Turn the jacket inside out and locate one of the two zipped pockets. Fold the jacket neatly, starting with the sleeves, and tuck it into the pocket. Zip the pocket closed to secure the folded jacket.

What does 'ripstop' fabric mean?

Ripstop fabric is woven with a special reinforcing technique that makes it resistant to tearing and ripping. This is achieved by interlacing stronger threads at regular intervals in a cross-hatch pattern.

Can I wear this jacket for sports?

Yes, the jacket is breathable (10,000g/m²/24h) and lightweight, making it suitable for various activities like running, hiking, or cycling, where protection from wind and light rain is needed.

What is the benefit of using recycled polyamide?

Using recycled polyamide helps conserve natural resources and reduces waste in landfills and oceans, contributing to a more sustainable production cycle.

How do I wash the jacket to maintain its performance?

Machine wash cold with similar colors and wash separately. Avoid bleach, tumble drying, and ironing. Always check the product's care label for the most accurate instructions to preserve the fabric's properties and DWR treatment.

Is the hood adjustable?

Yes, the jacket features a fixed hood with an adjustable drawstring, allowing you to customize the fit for better protection against the elements.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is not completely windproof or water-repellent.

Ensure all zippers are fully closed and the adjustable hood and hem are tightened. Check the care label; frequent washing without proper drying or use of harsh detergents can degrade the DWR treatment over time. Consider re-applying a DWR treatment if performance diminishes.

Zipper is difficult to move.

Gently try to move the zipper. If it snags, check for fabric caught in the teeth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or wax to the zipper teeth to improve smoothness.

Product has lost its water-repellent properties.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment may have worn off. Follow the care instructions for washing, and consider applying a specific DWR spray or wash-in treatment designed for technical outerwear to restore its water-repellency.
