FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The jacket offers water resistance, effective against light rain and showers. For prolonged or heavy downpours, a dedicated waterproof jacket is recommended.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
This softshell jacket is best suited for mild to cool conditions. For colder weather, it can be layered over insulating mid-layers such as a fleece or down jacket.
How do I maintain the wind and water resistance?
Regularly clean the jacket according to care instructions and reapply a water-repellent treatment after washing to restore its protective properties. Avoid fabric softeners.
What does 'bluesign® certified' mean?
It means the materials used in the jacket have been produced using a resource-efficient, environmentally friendly, and safe process, meeting strict ecological and consumer safety standards.
What is the difference between this softshell and a hardshell jacket?
Softshell jackets prioritize breathability and flexibility, offering good wind resistance and moderate water resistance. Hardshell jackets are primarily designed for maximum waterproofness and durability, often with less stretch and breathability.
How should I store the jacket when not in use?
Store the jacket in a cool, dry place. Avoid compression for long periods, which can affect the fabric's performance. Hanging is ideal.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels clammy or too warm
Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers. Consider opening the jacket for ventilation during high exertion or warmer conditions. The jacket's breathability is designed for moderate activity levels.
Water is soaking through the fabric
The water resistance may have diminished. Reapply a suitable water-repellent treatment according to product instructions. Ensure all zippers and seams are properly closed.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Clean the zipper teeth carefully with a soft brush. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper track.
Material feels less flexible after washing
Avoid fabric softeners and ensure the jacket is dried according to care instructions. Some stiffness can be resolved by wearing the jacket for a short period to allow the fabric to re-adapt.
