FAQs
Is this coat suitable for very cold weather?
The coat provides warmth with its fleece lining, making it comfortable for cool, wet conditions. For extreme cold, consider layering additional warm clothing underneath.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Refer to the Hoggs of Fife sizing chart available with the product details. It is recommended to measure your chest and waist and compare with the garment measurements, considering if you intend to wear thick layers underneath.
Can the hood be detached?
The product description indicates a fleece-lined hood, but does not specify if it is detachable. It is likely fixed for maximum weather protection.
What is the best way to clean the coat?
The coat can be machine washed at 30°C with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softener. Tumble dry on low or hang dry.
How often should I re-proof the coat?
Re-proofing is recommended when you notice water no longer beads up on the surface, typically after several washes or significant wear. Follow the instructions of your chosen waterproofing product.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The coat is described as waterproof, implying the main fabric and construction are designed to keep water out. However, specific pocket sealing details are not provided, so it's advisable to keep sensitive electronics in a waterproof pouch.
Troubleshooting
Water is seeping through the fabric.
Ensure the garment has been washed according to care instructions. Re-apply a suitable waterproofing treatment to the outer fabric.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and apply a small amount of wax or graphite lubricant.
Coat feels less breathable than expected.
Ensure the inner lining is dry. Check for any blockages in the fabric pores by washing the garment. Avoid using fabric softener, as it can clog pores.
