FAQs
Is the hood removable?

Does the jacket come in different sizes?

Is it suitable for active sports?
It is perfect for daily outdoor activities, commuting, and light recreation, though it is not specifically engineered for high-intensity technical sports.
Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak into the outer fabric
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need refreshing; consider using a technical fabric re-proofer spray designed for synthetic jackets.
Insulation appears flat or clumped after washing
Dry the garment on low heat with clean tennis balls to agitate and redistribute the internal polyester fill.
Zipper feels stiff or does not glide smoothly
Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth and consider applying a tiny amount of dry lubricant like graphite or a wax stick.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your jacket in peak condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water using a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can compromise the DryFlight water-resistant finish.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. It is recommended to use tennis balls or dryer balls in the machine to help redistribute the insulation loft.
- Storage: Hang the jacket on a sturdy hanger in a dry, well-ventilated area to maintain its shape and prevent moisture buildup.
- Compatibility: The classic cut fits true to size for most adults, making it compatible with various mid-layers for added versatility during colder weeks.
