FAQs
What type of insulation does the Andreson jacket use?
The jacket uses Warmloft insulation, which is designed to provide warmth without the bulk often associated with down or synthetic fill.
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
No, the jacket has a water-repellent finish which is effective against light showers only. For heavy rain, a waterproof jacket is recommended.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
It can be worn in cold weather, especially as a mid-layer over thermal base layers. For extreme cold, additional insulation will likely be needed.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash at 30°C with similar colours. Do not bleach, iron, or use fabric softener. Tumble dry on a low heat or line dry.
What are the benefits of the stretch panels?
The Extol Stretch panels enhance mobility and flexibility, allowing for a greater range of movement during outdoor activities.
Does the jacket have a hood?
Yes, the jacket features a hood for added coverage and protection from the elements.
Are the pockets secure?
Yes, the jacket features zipped pockets, providing secure storage for your essential items.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels less warm than expected.
Ensure that the Warmloft insulation is not compressed. If recently washed, ensure it is fully dry. Consider layering with additional thermal garments for colder conditions.
Water is soaking through the fabric.
The water-repellent finish may have worn off. Consider re-applying a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment to the exterior fabric. Remember this finish is for light showers only.
Zippers are sticking.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and a mild soap solution. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track. Lubricate with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant if necessary.
Fit feels restrictive.
Ensure you have the correct size. If the jacket is the right size, the restriction might be from undersized or bulky base layers. The Extol Stretch panels are designed to aid movement, but very tight base layers can still limit flexibility.
