FAQs

What is the warmth rating of this jacket?

The jacket has a warmth rating of 2, which indicates mid-level insulation suitable for cooler conditions.

Is the water-repellent finish environmentally friendly?

Yes, the H2OShield DWR finish is made from at least 50% plant-based materials and is PFAS compliant, making it more environmentally conscious.

Can I wear this jacket in heavy rain?

The jacket features a durable water-repellent finish, which is effective against light to moderate rain and water-based stains. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, a waterproof outer shell would be more suitable.

How do I store the jacket when I'm not using it?

The jacket is designed to pack away easily into its own stow bag, making it compact and convenient for storage or travel.

What material is the jacket made from?

The jacket is made from 100% Recycled Polyester.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

With a warmth rating of 2, this jacket is best suited for mild to cool conditions. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer it over additional warm clothing.

How should I wash the jacket?

The jacket is machine washable on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach to preserve the water-repellent finish.

Troubleshooting

Jacket not repelling water as effectively

The durable water-repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Consider reapplying a DWR treatment suitable for outdoor apparel. Ensure no fabric softener or harsh detergents were used during washing, as these can strip the DWR.

Jacket feels less warm than expected

Ensure the insulation is not compressed. For maximum warmth, wear the jacket layered over other insulating garments. Check that the zippers and cuffs are fully closed to prevent drafts.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it remains stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Jacket has lost its shape after washing

Ensure the jacket was dried according to the care instructions. Reshape the jacket while damp and allow it to air dry or tumble dry on low heat. Avoid high heat drying which can damage synthetic fills.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a ready-to-wear garment. No assembly or setup is required.

Compatibility: Designed for adult women, suitable for casual outdoor activities, travel, and everyday wear. It can be layered over other clothing for added warmth.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine washable on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent. Wash separately or with similar colors.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry. Ensure the jacket is fully dry before storing.
  3. Water-Repellent Finish: To maintain the H2OShield finish, avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can degrade the DWR treatment. Re-waterproofing treatments may be applied according to product instructions if performance diminishes over time.
  4. Ironing: Iron on a low setting if necessary, avoiding direct heat on any printed areas.
