FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The Umbert shirt is designed for transitional climates and offers some insulation. For very cold weather, it is best used as a protective outer layer over warmer mid-layers.
How do I reactivate the water-repellent finish?
After washing and drying according to instructions, you can reactivate the DWR finish by gently ironing the garment on a low heat setting (without steam) or by tumble drying on a low heat for a short period, following specific product care guidelines.
What does a 10,000 mm water column rating mean?
A 10,000 mm water column rating indicates that the fabric can withstand the pressure of 10,000 millimeters of water before leakage occurs. This offers good protection against moderate rain.
Can I wear this shirt if I'm sensitive to synthetic materials?
The outer layer is made of polyester. While generally well-tolerated, individuals with extreme sensitivities to synthetic fabrics might experience discomfort. The inner lining and membrane are integrated within the fabric construction.
What is the difference between this shirt and a traditional K-Way jacket?
This Umbert shirt features a hybrid shirt-jacket design with a collar and button front, offering a more casual, layered look. Traditional K-Way jackets often feature hood designs and full zip closures, focusing purely on outerwear functionality.
How should I store the jacket when not in use?
Store the jacket in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged storage in compressed states, which can damage the fabric's performance. Hanging it is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Water is seeping through the fabric.
Ensure the DWR treatment is still active. If not, consider a DWR re-treatment for outerwear. Check that all seams are properly taped and intact. Machine washing with appropriate detergent and avoiding fabric softener is crucial for maintaining performance.
The garment feels clammy or not breathable.
This can occur if the garment is overloaded with moisture from the inside (e.g., heavy sweating) or if the breathable membrane is blocked. Ensure you are layering appropriately for the temperature and activity level. Wash the garment according to care instructions to clear any residues that might impede breathability.
Buttons or snaps are loose.
For minor looseness, careful re-attachment may be possible. For significant issues, contact the retailer or manufacturer for potential repair options or warranty claims.
The zipper is sticking.
Gently try to move the zipper. If it's fabric caught, carefully try to free it. If it's stiff, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a specific zipper lubricant can be applied to the teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.
