FAQs

What makes this jacket 'printable'?

The fabric is engineered with a surface and composition that readily accepts various printing methods like screen, transfer, and vinyl printing without compromising its performance features or causing damage.

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket features a Durable Water-Repellent (DWR) finish, which is effective against light rain and showers. It is not designed as a fully waterproof garment for prolonged exposure to heavy downpours.

How should I wash the jacket to maintain its properties?

Use a cool machine wash with pure soap flakes only. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and tumble drying. Line dry and do not iron. This helps preserve the water-repellent finish and the integrity of the fabric technology.

What does '3 Layer Fabric Technology' mean?

This refers to the construction of the fabric, typically comprising an outer shell, a middle waterproof/breathable membrane, and an inner lining. This combination provides durability, protection from the elements, and comfort.

Can I wear this as my only layer in winter?

While warm and wind-resistant, it is designed as a versatile softshell. For very cold winter conditions, it is best layered over additional warm clothing like fleece or thermal base layers.

What is a 'Tearaway Label'?

A tearaway label is designed to be easily removed from the garment without leaving behind sewing stitches or damaging the fabric. This is particularly useful for custom printing businesses who want to add their own branding.

What sizes are available?

This jacket is available in a range of adult male sizes, including S, M, XL, and XXXL, with specific waist measurements noted for UK sizing. Please refer to the size chart for detailed measurements.

Troubleshooting

Print quality is poor or inconsistent.

Ensure the fabric is clean and free from oils or residues before printing. Verify that the correct printing method and materials (ink, transfer paper, vinyl) are being used as recommended for softshell fabrics. Check that the printing equipment is calibrated correctly and at the appropriate temperature and pressure.

Water repellency is decreasing after a few washes.

This is normal over time. Wash using only pure soap flakes and avoid fabric conditioners. Consider reapplying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment designed for outdoor apparel after washing, following the re-treatment product's instructions.

Jacket feels stiff after washing.

This may occur if using detergents other than pure soap flakes. For future washes, stick to the recommended pure soap flakes. Try a gentle rinse cycle or consider a specialized technical wash for outdoor gear if the stiffness persists.

Zipper is sticking.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper up and down. Apply a small amount of wax (like a graphite pencil lead rubbed on the teeth) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper track to improve its movement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent for custom branding and promotional purposes.
  • Wind and water-resistant properties offer good protection.
  • Lightweight yet warm due to 3-layer softshell construction.
  • Durable fabric suitable for active or work environments.
  • Adjustable hem provides a secure and personalized fit.

Cons

  • May require specific washing instructions to maintain water repellency.
  • Primarily designed for printing, may not have the aesthetic of a fashion-focused jacket.
  • The 'printable' aspect means some finishes may be less suitable for certain types of embellishment.
  • Limited pocket options (only 2 lower pockets).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This jacket requires no setup; it is ready to wear out of the package. Its primary 'setup' involves customization if desired. Ensure you follow the printing guidelines for the specific method (screen, transfer, or vinyl) you intend to use. It is recommended to test print on a swatch or an inconspicuous area if possible.

Compatibility:

  • Printing Compatibility: Designed for Screen Printing, Transfer Printing, and Vinyl Print.
  • Wearer Compatibility: Suitable for adult males.
  • Layering: Its lightweight yet warm construction makes it compatible for layering over t-shirts or base layers for added warmth.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Cool machine wash using pure soap flakes. Avoid harsh detergents or fabric softeners, as they can degrade the water-repellent finish and fabric technology.
  • Drying: Do not tumble dry. Line dry in a well-ventilated area.
  • Ironing: Do not iron. High heat can damage the fabric and any applied prints.
  • Bleaching: Do not bleach.
  • Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
  • Maintenance of Water Repellency: For best results, re-apply a water-repellent treatment specifically designed for outdoor fabrics after several washes, following the product's instructions.
