FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for very cold, sub-zero temperatures?

Yes, the jacket is designed with significant thermal insulation (190g filling) and waterproof features, making it suitable for cold winter conditions. For extreme cold, layering with additional thermal wear is recommended.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the Portwest size chart, which provides specific measurements for chest, waist, and height. It is recommended to measure yourself before purchasing to ensure the best fit.

Can the hood be completely removed, not just zipped off?

The hood is designed to be zipped off, allowing for complete removal. Once detached, it can be stored separately.

What is the benefit of the 2-way zip?

The 2-way zip provides flexibility. It can be unzipped from the bottom for increased ventilation, especially when sitting or engaging in strenuous activity, without having to fully open the jacket.

How long will the waterproof protection last?

The waterproof protection is inherent to the TPU-coated Nylon Taslan shell and maintained through taped seams. With proper care and avoiding harsh chemicals or excessive heat during washing and drying, the waterproof properties should remain effective for the lifespan of the garment.

Are the pockets waterproof?

The jacket features zipped pockets, which offer a good level of protection against rain and splashes. However, they are not designed to be fully submersible, so items sensitive to moisture should be protected accordingly.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels damp inside.

Ensure all zippers and closures are properly sealed. Check if the internal lining is saturated due to prolonged extreme exposure, and allow adequate drying time. Verify that washing and drying instructions have been followed, as fabric softener can affect performance.

Zipper is difficult to operate.

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free any trapped fabric. Clean the zipper track with a small brush and apply a silicone-based lubricant or graphite from a pencil to ensure smooth operation.

Seam tape is peeling.

This is uncommon with proper care. Avoid high heat in washing or drying. For minor peeling, a professional fabric repair service might be able to reapply adhesive. Avoid ironing or dry cleaning, which can damage seam tape.
