Gelert Coast Insulated Jacket - Black - UK 12

The jacket features a hooded neckline and is designed to offer protection against light moisture and wind. However, it is not described as fully waterproof and is best suited for mild conditions rather than heavy rain.

While the specific material for this variant isn't explicitly stated in the main description, other variants mention 'Polyester'. It's common for insulated jackets to use polyester for both the outer shell and the insulation. Please refer to the care label for precise material composition.

Generally, similar polyester insulated jackets can be machine washed cold on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. However, always check the specific care label on your garment for the most accurate washing instructions to ensure longevity.

The description indicates a 'hooded neckline', suggesting the hood is integrated and not detachable, providing continuous coverage.

The product description specifies 'two hand pockets'. There is no mention of internal pockets, so it's likely it only features external hand pockets.

Given its insulated yet lightweight construction, the Gelert Coast Insulated Jacket is most suitable for cool to mild conditions, making it ideal for spring, autumn, and milder winter days as a layering piece.

To maintain its insulation and shape, store the jacket in a dry, well-ventilated area. Avoid compressing it for long periods. Ensure it's completely dry before storing to prevent moisture build-up.

The insulation may have settled or become compressed. Try gently fluffing the jacket after washing and drying. Ensure you are not compressing it excessively during storage.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (like zipper wax or a pencil lead) along the teeth to help it glide smoothly. Make sure to pull the zipper straight, not at an angle.

Avoid overloading pockets with heavy or bulky items, as this can strain the fabric and stitching over time. For critical items, consider using a bag or backpack.

While not fully waterproof, the outer fabric may lose some water repellency over time. Consider using a fabric-safe DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray specifically designed for outerwear to refresh its resistance to light moisture.
