FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket is designed to be waterproof and breathable, offering good protection against moderate rain. For extremely heavy or prolonged downpours, additional waterproof gear might be recommended.

How do I pack the jacket into its pocket?

Turn the jacket inside out and locate the designated back pocket. Fold the jacket systematically into the pocket until it is fully contained. The pocket is designed to hold the jacket securely.

What does 'recycled polyamide' mean?

Recycled polyamide is nylon that has been produced from pre-consumer or post-consumer waste materials. Using it helps conserve resources and reduce waste compared to virgin polyamide.

Can I wear this in cold weather?

This windbreaker is primarily designed for protection against wind and rain, not for insulation. It can be layered over warmer clothing for added warmth in cooler conditions.

How do I adjust the hood?

The hood features elasticated drawstrings. You can pull these drawstrings to tighten the hood around your face for a more secure fit, especially in windy conditions.

Is the logo embroidered or printed?

The product description indicates a 'Logo print on the chest'.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. If it persists, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Avoid excessive force.

Waterproofing seems reduced after washing.

Ensure you followed the care instructions precisely. The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may need reapplication after multiple washes. Consider using a specific wash-in or spray-on waterproofing treatment designed for technical outerwear.

Fabric has a strong odor.

Air the garment out in a well-ventilated area. If the odor persists, wash according to care label instructions, potentially adding a cup of white vinegar to the rinse cycle. Ensure the garment is completely dry before storing.
