FAQs
What is the temperature rating for this jacket?
The jacket is designed to provide comfort in temperatures down to -5°C. Actual performance may vary based on individual metabolism, activity level, and layering.
How do I clean the SJ6 Insulated Jacket?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Tumble dry on low or air dry completely.
What does 'Softie Premier insulation' mean?
Softie Premier is a proprietary synthetic insulation developed by Snugpak, known for its excellent warmth-to-weight ratio and ability to retain insulating properties even when damp.
Can I attach patches to this jacket?
Yes, the jacket features Velcro patches on the sleeves, allowing for the attachment of compatible patches, such as identification or rank insignia.
Is this jacket waterproof?
The jacket is water-resistant, meaning it can repel light rain and moisture. It is not fully waterproof and may not withstand prolonged exposure to heavy precipitation.
What is the benefit of the thumb loops?
The elasticated cuffs include thumb loops that help keep the sleeves securely in place during activity and prevent cold air from entering the sleeves, thus sealing in warmth.
Where is this jacket manufactured?
This jacket is manufactured in the UK, ensuring high standards of quality and durability.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels less warm than expected.
Ensure the jacket is fully dry. Check that all zippers and cuffs are sealed properly to prevent heat loss. Consider adding a thermal base layer for increased warmth.
Moisture still present on inner layers.
Ensure you are not overheating. Paratex fabrics wick moisture effectively, but excessive perspiration can overwhelm the system. Adjust your layering or activity level. Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt can impede wicking.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to operate.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a small amount of water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or graphite from a pencil to the teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.
