FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, the jacket has a durable water repellent (DWR) finish, which means it can shed light rain and moisture, but it is not fully waterproof. For heavy rain, a waterproof outer shell would be necessary.

How should I clean the jacket to maintain its performance?

Machine wash cold (30°C) on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent, rinse thoroughly, and tumble dry on a low heat setting with tennis balls. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, and ironing.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?

The jacket provides lightweight insulation. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer it over a warm base layer and a fleece or down mid-layer.

What does SEAMSMART technology refer to?

SEAMSMART technology refers to the jacket's construction using commercial-grade abrasion-resistant fabric in key areas, engineered for enhanced durability and longevity.

How does the ILOFT Air padding work?

ILOF T Air padding is a lightweight and compressible insulation material (120 gsm) designed to provide warmth without significant bulk. It traps air to insulate you from the cold.

What is the warranty period for this jacket?

Please refer to the retailer's or manufacturer's specific warranty information for details, as warranty periods can vary.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels cold despite insulation

Ensure the jacket is layered appropriately for the temperature. Add a mid-layer if needed. Check that the hem and cuffs are adjusted to seal out drafts.

Water beads up less effectively

The durable water repellent (DWR) finish may need refreshing. Consider using a specialized DWR spray or wash-in treatment after cleaning, following product instructions.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant if necessary.

Jacket feels bulky

The ILOFT Air fill is designed to be lightweight; ensure the jacket is correctly sized. If it feels tight, consider a larger size for more room for layering and movement.
