FAQs

What is the WP and MP rating of this jacket?

The jacket has a Waterproof (WP) rating of 20,000mm and a Moisture Permeability (MP) rating of 15,000g/sqm.

What does the 3-year waterproof warranty cover?

The manufacturer's 3-year waterproof warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship that affect the jacket's waterproof integrity. It does not typically cover normal wear and tear or damage from improper care.

Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?

Yes, the jacket provides wind protection and can be layered over insulating garments for warmth in colder conditions. It is designed for year-round versatility.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Refer to the Footjoy sizing chart provided by the retailer. Pay attention to chest measurements and sleeve length, and consider the athletic fit designed for golf.

Is the jacket truly waterproof or just water-resistant?

With a WP rating of 20,000mm, the jacket is considered waterproof, offering significant protection against heavy rain, not just light showers.

What should I do if the jacket loses its water repellency?

The water repellency can be restored by cleaning the jacket and then applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment. Follow the instructions on the DWR product packaging.

Are there internal pockets?

The product description does not specify internal pockets, but many golf jackets include them for secure storage. Please refer to detailed product images or retailer specifications if this is a critical feature.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels less waterproof over time.

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket thoroughly and reapply a DWR treatment designed for waterproof outerwear.

Jacket feels clammy or less breathable.

Ensure the jacket is clean. Dirt and residue can clog the pores of the fabric. Wash according to care instructions and consider using a technical wash detergent. Ensure any internal pockets or vents are clear of debris.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and mild soap. Dry thoroughly and apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper track.

Compatibility: While designed specifically for golf, its waterproof and breathable features make it suitable for other outdoor activities where weather protection is needed.

Care Instructions: To maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable properties:

  3. Re-waterproofing: For optimal performance, consider using a wash-in or spray-on re-waterproofing treatment specifically designed for technical outerwear every season or as needed.
