Product Information
Full details
The Mountain Warehouse Seasons Padded Jacket is designed for adult women seeking a water-resistant and warm outerwear option for cold weather activities. Its key benefit is providing reliable insulation and protection from light showers with a lightweight microfiber filler, making it ideal for everyday wear and wintry walks. A potential caveat is that its water-resistance is treated and best suited for light rain, not heavy downpours, and performance in extreme cold is influenced by individual factors like exposure time and perspiration.

FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the microfiber filler?
The microfiber filler provides lightweight insulation, offering warmth without adding significant bulk to the jacket.
How effective is the water-resistance?
The jacket is treated with a water-resistant coating, making it suitable for light showers and everyday use. It is not fully waterproof and may not withstand prolonged or heavy rain.
Can this jacket be worn in very cold weather?
It is laboratory tested to -30°C, but actual performance depends on individual factors like layering, exposure time, and perspiration. It's best suited for cold, but not necessarily extreme, conditions unless layered appropriately.
How should I wash the jacket?
Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle using a non-biological liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softener and bleach.
What should I do if the water-resistance seems to decrease?
You can restore the water-resistant properties by applying a suitable re-proofing spray, following the product's instructions for application and drying.
Does the jacket have a hood?
Yes, the jacket features an elasticated hood for added protection against the elements.
What material is the jacket made from?
The fabric composition of the jacket is 100% Nylon.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is not as water-resistant as expected.
The water-resistance is treated and best for light showers. For heavy rain, a waterproof jacket is recommended. Reapply a water-resistant treatment spray as per product instructions if performance has diminished.
Jacket feels too cold in very low temperatures.
Consider layering the jacket with additional warm clothing, such as a fleece or thermal base layer, to increase insulation. The -30°C rating is a laboratory test and actual performance varies.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.
Pilling or abrasion on the fabric.
This can occur with normal wear. Avoid washing with abrasive materials and follow the recommended washing and drying instructions carefully.
