FAQs
What is the fit of this jacket?

Is this jacket waterproof or water-resistant?
The jacket is designed to help you stay dry in various conditions, suggesting it offers water-resistant properties rather than being fully waterproof. It is best suited for light rain or wet conditions.

Are the reflective details durable?
The durability of reflective details depends on care. To maintain them, avoid harsh scrubbing and follow the recommended washing and drying instructions.

Troubleshooting
Zipper is difficult to move
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently pull the fabric away from the teeth. You can also try applying a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or wax to the zipper teeth to help it glide smoothly.
Jacket has lost its water-repellent properties
Clean the jacket thoroughly to remove dirt and oils. Apply a water-repellent spray or wash-in treatment according to the product's instructions. Often, reactivating the finish requires gentle heat, such as a tumble dry on low.
